Do I fit the description of descendant?
Do I fit the description of descendant?
I want to apply to the Hispanic Scholarship fund but there requirement is as follows: " You or your family (parents, grandparents) must be descended from at least one of the following countries: Spain, Mexico, Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador, Costa Rica, Nicaragua, Panama, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Uruguay, Paraguay, Cuba, Puerto Rico, or the Dominican Republic. Students from Brazil are eligible to apply. However, students from Belize, Guyana, Portugal, Suriname and French Guiana are not considered Hispanic. " My mother is from Montevideo, Uruguay, born and raised. Her parents are from Spain and moved to Uruguay. But I was born in the U.S. and am half Italian and half Spanish (dad is Italian). Since my mother is 100% Hispanic and I am only half, do I still qualify as a descendant of Uruguay?

For something a little different, why not consider one of the G30 programs in Japan. Many universities there offer degree courses taught entirely in English, while you would also be able to learn Japanese. Generally, they low fees (compared to US schools), small class sizes, and often they also have scholarships available.
2 :
Dont be stupid, the education here is the worst.
3 :
First of all you need to learn the language of the country you are going to. You can look up some information on internet about Universities in Colombia. There are some Universities that are connected to the USA ,Canada and some other countries. I am Colombian and the university i go to is a pretty good University and is not expensive.

Getting into med school in canada?
Getting into med school in canada?
I have lived in the US since i was four years old, but due to a family emergency I must go live with my father in Bogota, Colombia. I will be a senior in an american college prep high-school, but I was wondering if this will affect my chances of getting in to a good pre-med school in the US or Canada. Are these schools good with accepting foreign students?

You should take Med course in India. They are world famous and relatively cheap.

Getting into Ivy league school?
Getting into Ivy league school?
I am a B student, SAT 1500, ACT 22 (yes i know they are poor grades). The only thing I have to my benefit is a good essay, great extracurricular activities and the only thing that separates me from other people is I started a new sport at our school, which was a rugby team. We are now an official school sport. I applied to Ivy leagues just to see if by some miracle I could get in. I have had interviews with Duke and Princeton, but not Yale or Colombia. Any Chance of getting in?

I think it is unlikely. There are, however, many good colleges that are not Ivy League. You should still be able to get into a good school.

Your english is very good. You need to know how to stop studering although, It's very good, I think your english is good enough to live in usa. Although it's good, You still need to practice a bit more so people could understand. I could clearly understand, and people can as well, im sure you can make a conversation's.
4 :
You're English is understandable, not bad. You said you lived in the US for about 2 years, do you still know anyone in the US? If you do, you should start talking to them. Start having conversations on the phone or on Skype if you don't want to deal with phone cards and long distance stuff. You hearing a fluent English speaker should help you learn how to enunciate your words better.
5 :
your pretty good. you studder a bit too much but overall your vocabulary and pronunciation are pretty solid. As someone who is trying to learn to speak a foreign language (french) in my native speaking country, i found that something that has helped me improve my fluent speech is reading things written in french out loud (ie books, newspapers). i see you were reading from a newspaper in the video and that makes up for not having anyone to talk to in english and it might help you out to do that alot more. also try reading more casual things than news writing. you can find transcripts of movies or TV shows online and reading those out loud to yourself will help with conversational talking. just some tips that have worked for me. good luck!

it depends on the standards of education for the country i dont really know

Why in the world would you go to Southern America for education? Why not Europe, I'm pretty sure it would be much easier there.
6 :
Call or visit their consulate & they will give you information. I doubt though that other countries have enough money for loans, scholarships, etc. Usually in other countries you get in college by entrance exams which are extremely competitive. Also research universities on the Internet & contact the schools you like directly.

Is it okay that the UN wants to give away half of California to the Abujans, who currently live in Colombia!?
Is it okay that the UN wants to give away half of California to the Abujans, who currently live in Colombia!?
The Abujans are Native Americans. The group's Holy book, the Abuja, mentions that their ancient Holy Land is in the southern area of California, roughly extending from Los Angeles down to the Mexican border. There are some Abujans (a very small number, perhaps 2-10%) that live in Southern California now, in peace with everyone else. The UN has dominion over this southern part of California. Do you think it's okay if the UN declares a new State will be made in this part of California and it will serve as the Homeland for the Abuja, as it is their "Historical Homeland," referenced by their Holy Book. These Native Americans suffered greatly at the hands of Colombians; it was essentially a Holocaust. They didn't suffer at the hands of Southern Californians, though. They've essentially suffered everywhere they've been. They say they need this Homeland to be safe, since no one else accepts them. Millions of Abujans from around the World can then go to Southern California. Do you think it's a good idea for the UN to take the Land and Homes of the people that currently live in Southern California and designate it the new Homeland for the Abuja? No? Do you think that Southern Californians, Northern Californians, and Americans in general might consider this to be a little Unjust? You think they might fight back? Yes? Then you kind of understand how Palestinians feel. Christian AND Muslim Palestinians. Here's a site that is maintained by a troupe of PhD students at Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, UCLA, and the London School of Economics, in addition to contributing scholars, that describes what Americans NEED TO KNOW about the situation in Palestine and Israel: Here it is again: http://www.ifamericansknew.org/

When the arabs give Israel back the land it possessed in 'ancient times' I guess I can feel fine with the Native Americans getting their space back...(but you might want to check the maps from 2000 BC before you start measuring off your new yard...) Now you understand that if we do the ancient times thing, native americans will also be able ot claim portions of Mongolia and Russia AND possibly China.... Anybody else want to revert to the 10th century BC like the Muslims? If so, start packing your bags, YOUR leaving for 'Home'....Palestinians first....
