I really want to teach! I’ve always loved working with kids and I think I’d be a great asset to a school. I have a bachelor’s degree in History, but I didn’t go through a formal teacher certification program. I’ve been subbing at my local public schools, and honestly, the bureaucracy is a bit overwhelming….
I’ve been thinking a lot about homeschooling lately, and one of the biggest things holding me back is worrying about my child’s pace of learning. At school, they’re (ostensibly) learning at the same rate as their peers, which feels…comfortable? But also, sometimes it feels like my child is being held back by the pace of…
Okay, so, I’m really struggling. Lately, I’ve been feeling SO overwhelmed. Work is crazy, my family is demanding, and I just can’t seem to relax. I’ve been turning to things I know aren’t good for me – like comfort eating, scrolling mindlessly through social media for hours, and just generally avoiding anything that feels difficult….
Okay, so I’m applying to grad school in the fall and that means I need to take the GRE. I’m really nervous about it because I haven’t taken a standardized test like this since the SAT, and that was ages ago. I’m specifically worried about the Quantitative Reasoning and Verbal Reasoning sections. I need to…
Okay, so I’m applying for this scholarship, the "Future Leaders of America" one, and it’s a pretty big deal. It could really help me out with tuition, which is skyrocketing! The essay prompt is pretty broad, though: "Describe a time you overcame a challenge." I’m usually a pretty good writer, but I’m just staring at…
Okay, so I’m working on a research paper for my Sociology 101 class and I’m having trouble really nailing down the relationship between literacy and poverty. I know there’s a connection, it seems pretty obvious. Like, if you can’t read well, you’re probably going to have a harder time getting a good job and making…
Okay, so I’m starting to look at colleges and Harvard keeps coming up, obviously. But it seems huge and I’m just getting lost trying to navigate their website. What are all the different schools within Harvard? Like, are there specific programs within those schools that are super well-known or really good that I should look…
Okay, so I’m starting to apply for college and the tuition is, well, terrifying. Everyone keeps saying "apply for scholarships!" like it’s magic money, but I have no idea where to even begin. I know there are tons of different scholarships out there, but what are the general things I need to have to even…
Okay, so I’m a junior in high school right now and I’m starting to seriously think about college and scholarships. I really want to go to a top university – think like, Ivy League or Stanford-level. I know those schools are super competitive to get into and expensive, so I’m really hoping to get some…
Okay, so I’m really struggling right now. It feels like everyone around me is just effortlessly acing everything, while I’m constantly stressed and barely keeping my head above water. I’m a sophomore in college, majoring in biology (pre-med track, which is probably half the problem). Specifically, I’m finding it really hard to balance everything. I…
