College isn’t obligatory, but in this day and age, a college education should be viewed as essential.

If you feel like you can’t deal with college, then by all means don’t go. College is an investment that shouldn’t be made lightly, especially if you doubt your desire to succeed.

Middle School May Be Passe Within the Boston Schools

September 4, 2023December 20, 2022 - by Ludivina Leveto

The middle school model was conceived in the 70s and implemented throughout the 70s and 80s across the nation. It was thought that middle schools would provide a nurturing bridge between the early elementary school experience and high school. Unfortunately, many education experts now consider the experiment a failure with their poor performance and uprooting children twice during their turbulent and challenging adolescent years. Middle schools now are being viewed as the weak link in the educational chain by many.

Prior to the implementation of middle schools, these grades were either part of the elementary school experience or an expanded high school environment. Now, education leaders across the nation (including the Boston schools) are looking to return to those earlier models.

Pretty much all fashionable musicians currently, particularly people who have been in the rock and people genre, have listened to the identify Les Paul. Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin on June 19, 1915, Lester William Polsfuss (his birth identify) exhibited a profound interest in music, even at an early age.

College Roommates Part I – Dorm Life

September 2, 2023December 20, 2022 - by Ludivina Leveto

Whether you are moving into the dorm as a freshman, or a senior looking for a nice house close to campus, odds are you will be living with roommates. There are very few college students who live by themselves, mostly because it is too expensive. In college towns, rent for a single apartment can reach up to $750 a month. It might not seem like a lot, and maybe it isn’t if your parents are paying for it, but for the majority of students $750 a month is not reasonable. The solution to lower rent is living with roommates. In this article I will talk about the pros and cons of living with roommates, how to find roommates, and I’ll share some of my experiences along the way. This will be a two part post due to its length. Part I will discuss dorm life, while Part II will discuss … Read more

This is a suggested dialogue. Feel free to adjust it according to the children you minister to.

Next comes school. Let’s say … Read more
