Am I On The Right Track For Getting Into A Good College?
It’s always been my dream since I was about in the 3rd grade to go to Stanford and am going to do everything in my power to best my chances of getting in. I’m currently a freshmen at a prestigious prep school, but our school doesn’t give out A+s and the best gpa you can get is a 4.0. I just finished my first semester and got all As, with the exception of PE, which due to my asthma, I performed poorly on the fitness testing. I’m currently taking:
Geometry Honors, PE I, Fine Arts (graduation requirement), World History (no honors history available for freshmen), English I Honors, Faith Formation, and Spanish II
Next year I plan on taking:
Precalculus Honors, Health, English II Honors, Hebrew Scripture, Spanish III Honors, Physics Honors, and either Chinese I or Journalism
Is this a good path? Note that the Geometry Honors is extremely accelerated and covers algebra II and Trig. Am I doing enough to get into Stanford? I’m also in the winter musical, part of drama club, and on the tennis team. Is it okay that my school doesn’t weight my grades? Will Stanford compare my unweighted gpa to someone else’s weighted gpa? Should I attempt to write a book? I love to write and English is my biggest passion. I know I’m only a freshmen, but I want to stand out. I’m not questioning whether I’m smart enough, but I’m questioning whether that A- in pe will hurt my chances of getting in and whether I’m on the right track. Any insight would be very helpful!

Hair Product Help, Seems Legit Or Not?
Legit hair product or not?
Hi, Need your opinion guys…
I just bought hair products from a hairdresser in our place.
But I dont know whether should I use it or not. I dont know whether it is legit or not.
The first product is some kind of hair wax, it says “Star 5 Professional” an olive hair wax, its a wax that is some kind of transparent and it smells good. But i noticed that the words in the label had some terrible english in it like (uifta imagia Tion, does not moisten the dus, little compnent the). I must say that it has a bad product labeling, I also noticed that in the back of the product there are some chinese characters in it. Created by KangFa LTD china.
The next item I brought is a milk protein hair mask. The product name is MILK, and it just says milk protein treatment. It smells good. It looks nice. But it does not look like legit. Only it just have an instruction and ingredients label on it, It doesn’t tell about the company who made it or some contact number, The product number is also missing, it doesn’t show where it came from.
Now the question is..
Are those products legit?
Should I use it?
Chinese Boys In American Family Only Stay At Home And Eat Junk Food Since Two Years. Normal?
Hi.
My mom is renting two rooms to two Chinese boys. They live with us since two years now.
What I have noticed is that they don’t go to school. They stay at home all day and play online computer games on Chinese servers and watch Chinese movies. They don’t do sports or socialize with other people. They sleep during the day and are awake during the night. I assume they live by the Chinese clock. Besides they only eat junk food and drink Coca Cola. When they smoke cigarettes they only smoke it the half way. There are much more wired habits I wont list right now.…
I honestly don’t know much about the Chinese people or culture. But it occurs to me that they are wasting their life, money and health.
My question is this: Is this normal? I have read that most Chinese families only have one kid (Law thing). So can it be that most kids are mama’s boys? In those two years they never cooked Chinese food or anything healthy (Microwave pizza is their favorite.) I assume they don’t know how to cook.
They pay their rent on time, which is a good thing. Money doesn’t seem to be an issue.
Thank you for clarification.

Do University/college Cafeterias Offer Healthy Food?
Do they sell fruits and vegetables? Or is it all fast food type things like pizza and chinese food? I’m a vegetarian and very health concious. All I eat is fruits, veggies, whole grains, eggs and yogurt. Im going to university next year and was wondering what I could do if they don’t offer things for vegetarians? I have to stay on campus dorms for the first year, so would I be allowed to bring in a mini fridge and buy my own fruits and vegetables for breakfast and lunch, and just eat dinner in the cafeteria?
What Do You Call A Doctor That Cures/heals Patients Using Herbs (like In Ancient China)?
When I grow up I want to be a doctor that cures/heals patients using herbs, like um.. do you know those ‘herbal inn’ stores where there are Asian/Chinese doctors there that cure people the ancient way like reading pulse and prescribing with herbs as medicine? Like they do not need to do stuff like surgery/operation and blood tests and all that modern day stuff doctors do? You get the idea don’t you? Please can someone answer my question!
Is It Safe To Work In China?
Even one of the most influential international manufacturers is a victim of the CCP’s policies.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/46143670/ns/…
“If Apple was warned, and didn’t act, that’s reprehensible,” said Nicholas Ashford, a former chairman of the National Advisory Committee on Occupational Safety and Health, a group that advises the United States Labor Department. “But what’s morally repugnant in one country is accepted business practices in another, and companies take advantage of that.”
“accepted business practices”?????
Why is the PRC government so willing to join with Apple in sacrificing Chinese lives?

What Would Canada Do If The Usa Didn’t Provide Canada’s Defense?
Seriously, would they have to abandon their socialist programs and start spending money on defense instead? How would they protect themselves against the Soviet threat or the Chinese threat or the North Korean threat or the Iranian threat or the Iraqi threat?
It must be nice having another country foot the bill for your defense, so that you can spend all the money on socialized medicine and socialized universities? It would also be nice if you remembered to thank us once in a while!
