Easy Scholarships For College

Archive for the ‘simple scholarships for college’ Category

We do not need more brainwashed libs coming out of colleges and helping lazy, overpaid Marxist professors rake in the big bucks. Take away the students and the Marxists in the Ivory towers will have no jobs. No more colleges, no more liberals! It’s as simple as that!

1. Tell them college costs 200K per year. Don’t tell them about community colleges, grants, scholarships, state schools.

2. Show them how un-American college people are.

3. Show them how so many great people hit it big without college degrees (Jesus, Moses, George Washington, Thomas Edison, Abraham Lincoln)

No more college = no more liberals; no more evolution; no more global warming; no more socialist indoctrination; no more of working people having to pay for state schools.

Hello just looking for some simple advice. A little background on my previous schooling: I went to the same school from Kindergarten up until my senior year. The school I went to was great, It was a small school and was more like a tight nit family. At the end of my junior year my school had financial problems and was forced to shut down. The new school I am at was our biggest rival going back over 40 years. I find myself in crisis, although I have friends at my new school. I dread going to this new school every day and I have been there for almost a month, I was hoping I’d get used to it, but that hasn’t happened. I am now considering finishing up my senior year through an accredited home-school program which I can still attain scholarships. I would be more hesitant to leave my new school if I had been there with the other people in my class, they all have past memories and most of their conversation they are reminiscing or speaking of someone who I don’t know, I just feel completely out of place and uncomfortable. In my situation, what would you do?

I just mainly need to let it out. I feel so hopeless, so confused, so lost. Most of the time, I try to be happy and positive and I know who I am generally, but sometimes I just feel like I don’t fit in with today’s society. Although I’m accepted and loved I’m also different. I like to do my own thing and not care what other people think. I like to keep it real, whereas people around me can be so negative, fake and full of drama which I hate. I have my passions, but now that I’m 18, everything I mention that I happen to love gets turned into “Do you think that’s something you might want to do in life?” It’s like you can’t do things just for fun anymore or just chill; it’s all about the money and careers. Seriously, about half the time I turn around, it’s either “Enjoy your youth” or “You have to know about the rest of your life NOW at 18 years old.” I’m the type of person who, although I’m really ambitious and really want to live life to the fullest, I also just want a simple life; of making money being an online advice columnist and doing some volunteer work to get out there and meet new people. I’m on Social Security Income because of my disability too, so it’s not like making money will be an issue for me in the economy right now, especially since I’ll probably be living with my parents for a long time. It’s really weird sometimes, because everyone else talks about jobs and what field they want to pursue, but I really just want to take it easy throughout life and hang with my family and friends. Is there anything wrong with that? The other thing is, I REALLY want to go to college too (I’m in a college program now and want to apply to be a regular university student when I graduate), not because I’m being forced to or have bought into the hype of needing that bachelor’s degree for employment, but simply for personal reasons; so I can work hard and have fun with it. Sometimes, I feel like I’m spending time with the wrong crowd and feel left out and I just want to make some new friends, leave all the drama behind and start over with a few really good friends. Is that so wrong? I just want to keep being happy and I think getting that higher education will help, but people usually either say college is holy and will get you everywhere, or that it’s a scam and not worth going because of the debt you’ll get into; being in this free program I know neither of those are the case and just want to find a middle ground with no pushing or anything. I want to apply for scholarships and stuff, but I’m not sure if it would screw up my benefits if I did that, and I don’t know how I’d pay for it and still do everything else because my parents can’t do it all. I just…I’m not there for competition or problems or getting in trouble. I just want to be happy, that’s all, but it’s a crazy world out there and I just feel so helpless. What should I do? Do I even have a chance? =_[ I know this is kind of long, and I’m sorry, but any genuine words of encouragement and support would be appreciated. Thanks….

So I’m pretty much at a C in this class and I only had two tests left, one 50 points more than the other. I decided not to drop the class and see if I would be able to get a B-, or at most (by any luck) a B. I studied for this exam, and I don’t know if I studied hard enough or not, but I always feel like I never do, and this time (I’m not proud of it) someone gave me a copy of how the test would look before the exam and I studied that, feeling desperate not to mess up (I can’t afford a C, DEFINITELY nothing lower, I need at least a 3.0 with my scholarships). So not only do I feel like I cheated, I KNOW I messed up on one problem on the back of the test from one simple mistake, and all the numbers and a few other problems were switched up compared to the test that I looked at, so of course I don’t feel like I did good. What’s worse is that I have to wait a week to find out my results, and if I did do bad, I’ll have to study my butt off and HOPEFULLY do good on the final to get at most a B-. I’m freaking out, and this isn’t me. What should I do? I’ve talked to the teacher weeks before the exam, the counselors here don’t help, there’s no extra credit…. I just feel like I’ve gotten myself into a disaster, struggling to survive in the end.

what age should a parent provide survival for a child untill, such as food,necessary clothes,toiletries,medical insurance,education money, basic life needs? im not talking about a video game set or a designer handbag that costs 400 dollars or a vacation or diamond earings.

i mean necessary life survival items like medicine,food,health insurance,toiletries,basic things,education… things like this simple survival things

i know some parents say when the child turns 18, but i think thats tough. when your 18 its tough, kids are scared and just entering the adult world at that age and its very hard to survive and find a good job with just a highscool diploma.what if the kid wants to go to college full time, its very hard to work and go to school even tho in some cases its been done. what if the child has a special disorder where working and attending school is too much, like a health problem or anxiety disorder or some other problem?

also does the money and education background of a family matter?
lets say a child comes from a rich upperclass family, they grew up in a mansion with a pool and a buttler, the parents are rich, with too much money not needed for them, the mothers a doctor, the fathers a big shot lawyer…so its not an extra burden to pay for living expenses of the 18 yr old child..lets say everyone in their family is college educated at ivy league schools with no scholarships..
should a child from a wealthy family full of ivy league graduates have to pay for their own expenses at 18 and work and attend classes at the same time so they can pay for food, a roof, and education at a small city college? even tho its not a burden and the parents can afford to pay for their kid to go to a top college?

do the same standards apply to a child from a middle or lower class home where the mother is a hairdresser and the father works at a sneaker store??? and they might not necessarily be able to afford to send their kid to an ivy league school and expenses are difficult

also what if someones young adult child becomes disabled,what are your thoughts about a parent supporting their 22 yr old child who gets sick with cancer and cannot work anymore and cannot afford rent while being in and out of the hospital and deathly sick from the treatment.. should that child be allowed to live at home, rent free with their parents while they try to get well from cancer? or should the parent charge the child with cancer rent because they are 22? should the parent not help the child because they are over 18? even if they are sick and too sick to work, and might die?

what are the standards on being supported with any financial help after 18? what are your opinions, also talk about money situations,disabilities,sickness a child might get, education?

also lets say your hardworking straight a student daughter is crossing the street a few months before college graduation and she is hit by a car and seriousely injured and leaves the hospital but in bad shape with slow healing injuries and cannot walk well, would you tell the daughter they are on their own or would you invite them to live in your home while they try to recover? would you pay for food for them and some cheap necessities like shoes, underwear,food, pain medication, while they are recovering?

also what are the responsibilities of parents towards their young adult children… some culutures say it is responsibility to marry off a child, when they are married off they are out of their responsibility
what if your 25 year old daughter becomes severely anorexic and might die? is it the parents job to help?
also should a parent pay for food,medicine,education,basic life survival needs while the child is in school full time in a college? untill they get a degree where they can start a career and make enough money to survive?
i know theres different opinions and each case is different..
what are your opinions

I just started the writing process for the first prompt of the personal statement for UC applications. Of course, I’m writing about how my parents have influenced and shaped the person that I am..

Prompt #1: Describe the world you come from – for example your family, community or school – and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.

Two high-school dropouts with close to no money and without any knowledge on the English language came to the United States in pursuit of a better life. Their determination and opportunity-seizing characteristics made them who they are today, my parents. As a result, I continuously ask myself a very simple question; how successful would they have been if they had the chance to go to college? They were able to adapt to a completely different society; that is by not only devoting their time to learning an unfamiliar language, but also by seizing every available opportunity to make enough money to support our family.
(I AM STILL NOT DONE… THIS IS JUST WHAT I HAVE SO FAR)

***** I’m trying to write about how my parents had the qualities necessary to be successful college students, but unfortunately didn’t have the chance to go to college. However, these qualities that my parents hold have certainly influenced the type of person that I am. My mom is on top of everything. She is always making sure deadlines are met, she has never had overdue payments, she’s always active, etc. I know that if she would have had that promising opportunity to go to college, she would have been successful. She would have applied to a countless number of scholarships, been an active member of the community, and would have devoted herself to school. Here’s where I come in.. They have instilled these values upon me…. I got my first job when I was 14, and still have it.. My parents didn’t force me to, but it showed me the value of money and how difficult it is to make large amounts of it. That is why I want to go to college. Because of my academic excellence & my desire to find a job that I would enjoy while at the same time make a lot more money, college is my only option. I want to somehow write about how my parents have shaped the person I am… any suggestions? tips? advice? What path should I focus my writing on? or how can I make it stronger and avoid being cliche?

well i got accepted to sf state, it cost about 2000+ per semester. i got qualified for 1500 in grant money and 1000 from eop i am hoping to get qualified for the others then i will be set. right now i work at the zoo get paid around 9 an hour i have 2 credit cards i need to pay off. now don’t criticize me cause have them because they helped me with school and other finances … oh and by the way i don’t have support in my family very ignorant about edu so they don’t care what i do sadly
