How many friends do I really have?
OK So i have lots of ppl who I consider "friends," but now that I think about it a lot of them seem to be superficial. I will tell u about each of them. WHich ones do u think r genuine friends? Jake Czekaj: The class clown. Jake is really fat but also really nice, although he always plays pranks and stuff on me. He likes making fun of me, but then again he makes fun of almost everyone. He is a lot bigger than me and likes to give me noogies and stuff, not realizing they actually hurt. I like to help him out but he's only helped me out about once. Julie Amuleti: An exchange student from Italy, Julie is Jake's gf and a very nice girl. I hang out with her too, although she speaks poor english. She likes to make fun of me too, but only when her bf is around, and she looks like she kinda regrets it. She likes to gossip a lot with these other European girls, and one time I heard them giggling and mentioning my name. I think she may have a crush on me. Santiago Velasquez: A Latino from Colombia who doesn't fit the Hispanic stereotype at all. Santiago is studious, intelligent, and unbelievably wealthy. He has a quick temper though and is easily angered. He hates having bad grades and gets all twitchy and flinchy if he gets a 95% on a test. He has an unbelievably hot mom, who Jake often mentions, and Santiago gets angry at that disrespect. His near-perfect life is often a source of jealousy, although he is also unbelievably nice, and loves to help others, particularly me. He is a hypochondria. He is very uptight and ancy, sometimes he even wears suits! When angry or startled, he swears in Spanish, then apologizes as if we even knew what he was saying. He talks very fast. Gertrude Wain: The class goth. She is creepy and depressing. Like Jake, she likes other people's miseries, and laughs when I get scared. She still tries to help everyone out though. She dresses scary, too. Mitchell Magyar: Another class clown, Mitchell is a devout Jew, yet despite that he manages to get on EVERYONE'S nerves! He is really annoying!!!!! Santiago dislikes his constant interruption of class, whereas Jake loves it. Who do u think is a real friend? Can u maybe put it like: Jake is a great friends cuz bla bla bla or Santiago is a bad friend because bla bla bla and then u should forget about Julie bla bla bla What do u think? Who is my actual friends and who isn't?

Jake: He is a jerk. Leave him. Forget about him. Julie: I think she was saying something about u to her friends. U should try to talk to her. Her acts of friendship do seem genuine, and the reason she seems pained to make fun of u is probably because she doesn't want to. Its her horrid bf's fault, i think. Santiago: Great kid, don't leave him. He seems a little stressed though, maybe u could help him see there's more to life than books and numbers? Gertrude: Creepy! Try talking to her. U didn't explain her too well, maybe she is friendly maybe she isn't Mitchell: Another Jake. Get away from those two!

Should I get a CELTA, TEFL, or Bridge-IDELT?
Should I get a CELTA, TEFL, or Bridge-IDELT?
I have a Bachelor's degree in Int'l Business, a US passport and citizenship, an excellent understanding of languages, but no formal teaching experience. I would like to teach abroad for a year or two (preferably in Spain, where I have already spent some time, Portugal, Italy, Argentina, Brazil, or Colombia - my ABC's ;), and be able to earn enough to cover my basic cost of living, in addition to making some small payments on student loans. I'm a native English speaker, but I also speak Spanish and am learning Portuguese. :) That said: can you recommend what certification I should get? I want to be able to teach well, but I think a CELTA might be overkill. Is BridgeTEFL a reputable organization (I've already seen the www.teflcoursereview.com site, but that's just one source)? Let me know if you have any personal experience with these types of programs. I have a friend with the same basic credentials (American, bachelor's degree, non-EU passport) who teaches in Spain, so it can be done. It's an interesting point, however, that the best pay is to be found in Asian countries - I'll take that into account. Thanks!

teaching in those countries isn't super profitable. you want to make those little tudent loans pays be thinking of korea or china, and tefl is fine for anywhwere you go
2 :
The fact that you speak the languages will work in your favor, but the other answerer is correct in that Asian countries pay better. (But the cost of living is also higher: Tokyo is considered the most expensive city in the world to live in.) While you may think that CELTA is overkill, the more respected your qualifications the better the job you can get. I spent 9 months doing an RSA Diploma, although I was a qualified teacher with an MA, and I never had any trouble getting work.
3 :
Keep in mind that to teach in Europe you need a EU passport. CELTA, Trinity CertTESOL and TESL Canada are the best courses in the industry because they require course providers (Many of them colleges and universities) to offer an advanced level of training and include a teaching practice module.
4 :
To get an entry level job in all those countries you'll need a degree and a TEFL Certificate. The degree you already have so that's no problem. As for the TEFL Certificate, any certificate from a reputable school will suffice. You can take it either in-house or online at your own pace which is a much cheaper option (see http://icalweb.com). I would advise against CELTA at this stage as in my opinion it's for teachers with at least a couple of years experience. It's a very intensive course and without previous knowledge of the subject many students flounder. As for working in Europe, yes a passport from a European country would help a lot and although it can be done without, it is much harder to find work. There's a link below with much more information on this subject.
5 :
I think CELTA would be just right for you - you're obviously fairly smart and hard-working. It's a tough course, but if you prepare for it by doing some pre-course reading, you should be fine. I don't know if you think it's 'overkill' in terms of time or money, but it will be much more widely accepted when job-hunting.

War on Drugs: people are dying because of drugs trade?
War on Drugs: people are dying because of drugs trade?
What's your opinion on the following? My political science professor is pretty much all for it. The current violence going on in Mexico and South America is directly accredited to the street demand of drugs and narcotics in the United States. He wouldn't state his opinion on marijuana, but he did say that particularly the Mexican drug cartels is behind most of the marketshare of the weed sold on the streets in the US. Those same cartels also grow and traffic meth to a certain extent and cocaine. The cocaine itself is grown and processed in mostly Colombia but the cartels down there sometimes work with Mexican groups to get their merchandise into the United States, which has the most demand. The cross-border shootings, kidnappings and murders are accredited to Mexican gangs financed by the drug trade. Many of these kidnappings are also related to human trafficking- another income source for these gangs. He also mentioned he had a student from middle school who was kidnapped in 2005, and hasn't been heard from since. One of these gangs known as Los Zetas is for lack of a better term a paramilitary force who are sometimes better equipped than the Mexican government. They're comprised of corrupt and disgruntled Mexican military (a lot of the times corrupt Mexican special forces as well) and operate just across the border from Texas. Their business is warfare, and if you cross the border it is literally a battleground. Even on the US side you hear stories of bombings, high-profile murders and shootings in broad daylight. This group is directly financed by the same Mexican drug cartel trafficking mainly marijuana but crack/cocaine as well. He goes on to say that he doesn't care for people who think drugs should be legal and all. He has his own personal opinion about them and would rather not share it. Moralities aside, in the end people are dying and it's because of the drug trade. Thoughts?

All drugs should be legal. You should be able to get 10 lbs of crack at CVS for $10. If someone wants to kill themselves go ahead. Killing all the drug dealers will just be replaced by other drug dealers and raise the price for drugs. 70% of the money spent in the criminal justice system is spent on drug enforcement. They release violent offenders from prison to make room for drug dealers. Last year in the local paper a man that committed armed robbery received less time than a man convicted of dealing drugs. This is just stupid! The drug laws have hurt society more than the drugs themselves. But drugs will never be legal, look how much money the government makes on them. There is some evidence that the government is importing it. The anti drug people believe that anyone that says drugs should be legal is a dope head. I'm not. Never have been. I don't like taking prescription drugs.

There would be less crime if we had free flowing marijuana, meth and xtasy? Only a druggie would buy that line.

You can't apply for a student visa until you've been accepted to a school. They'll give you all the documents you need and information about other things you'll need to provide. For cheap living you'll need to look for a small town - avoid pretty much every major city and anything on the coasts. A host family may be a possibility but it will depend on the program. Depending on the school you attend, plan on about $30-50,000USD for a year - financial aid is very difficult for international students to get. Your first step is to start researching study programs. After that you'll be able to figure out the finances and other requirements.

Hi there...What type of courses are you looking for? English courses? certificate programs? It sounded like you're looking for something short term. Therefore, I would assume you're looking for English or ESL courses. Such programs allow foreign students to gain cross-cultural experience while improving their English in the United States. They provide fun-learning experience as students can meet people from around the world and yet learning the local culture. --->Which city do you recommend to study with affordable costs (education, transportation, food...)? Florida is one of the cheapest cities with low living standard in America plus the weather is ideal for international students. Also, many other sub-urbans could be a good choice for lower expenses area to live in. --->Is there a posibility for me to live with a host family to make it cheaper? Yes, you can easily apply to an English or ESL programs with host family placement. There are a few good reasons to live with a host family: 1. They include meals and utilities. Usually, 2 meals a day. You only have to pay a fixed fee, which with an average of $200 to $280 a week. 2. They provide total immersion to the local culture to gain cross-cultural experience 3. They provide more chances to improve your English as you can practice your English in the daily basis --->How much money do I need to live for year in the US? The estimated expenses for a month for living in a city is about $1000 to $1500. So, you can expect to spend a little less in sub-urban or smaller cities. ---> Do I need to apply right now for a Student Visa? Which things do I need to apply for it? Yes, you will need a student visa to live off a year in the country. Before applying for student visa, you will need to be accepted by a school. Then, you will receive a form I-20 from the school and you will used it for visa application. If you need further assistance, check out www.admissionsbridge.com. They offer courses throughout the United States and can help you to find an affordable course to meet your needs for FREE!

I am not an alum or a current student but heard good things about Fordham. Despite its unfortunate initials (FU), it is a catholic university. I go to a Jesuit university in Boston and find the people to be very nice. Like the previous responder said, it's competitive to get in. Take a campus tour and see what it's like. No matter what people here tell you, it's best to see for yourself and to get a sense of the campus "vibe". The first time I visited BC, I knew it was a great place. Good luck!

How do I stop being an overachiever?
How do I stop being an overachiever?
Hi I am Juan Lopez my family moved here from Colombia years ago. My parents are those super strict Hispanics, and I realized what kind of an opportunity we have here so I study hard, but I study too hard. I realized I like the way I am but it isn't healthy. Here i9s what I want to change: Firstly, I have to get Straight A's. My parents demand that I get a 95% or higher on everything on my report card, but I have set my own standards by setting the limit to 100% or higher. I cry if I get 98's or 99's, I just hate them! Also, for some reason, when i was trying to find what job to have in the future, I thought I had to make a $200,000 salary. My father makes more than half a million, so now that's had kind of a negative effect on me because I rejected some jobs for having a "low" salary, like $100,000. Yes, i know that's not low, I don't know why I did that. It was weird. I like stress. I also do extra hw and I'm in all AP classes. I have all 100's in my report card, some 101's (Thanks, extra credit!) and am student body president. I never go to parties and to tell you the truth I'm not interested in them. I am 16 and disgusted by drugs and alcohol, and I want to wait until AFTER MARRIAGE to have sex. I almost never go to parties, i go to bed at around 9:00 every day on my own wishes, and I LOVE to wake up early. I feel so weird. What should I do? Anything I can change that won't make e a loser? My parents give me an allowance every week, but if I didn't get a 100% or higher on a test/quiz, I reject them and say I don't deserve it. I even hate myself for being young and foolish and I want to grow up so badly. My mother says too much stress isn't good, my father likes my attitude though, but my mother says that there's no need to kill myself over an A. What should I do? Is it just because I'm Hispanic so I set those limits or could it be my personality or what? Help me change this please.

u dont need to change.honestly people would give so much to be u.u arent a loser,sex is meant for after marriage and u are doing the right thing.u strive for the best and that is a good thing.being really smart can irritate some of your classmates but there are times they would give absolutely anything to be u.all u need to is to socialize a little more but never let your guard down.people like u are what we need in this world to make it a better place and truly u are gifted.dont let what people say get to you.
