Open Question: Can you please help me revise my transfer paper? Thank you soo much!!?



"Why do you want to transfer?" is the topic. I'm not a great writer. Thanks so much for revising!!!


To Have an Aspiration

What serves as your purpose for studying at a university? As I evaluate how I would approach this question, it is preferably sensible to retract from an immediate answer. Pondering for a response, I first thought about my father. In the pursuit of bettering his future, he immigrated to America at the age of eighteen. He started out with a job as a busboy at a restaurant in lower Manhattan, catering to customers and working from early morning till pitch-dark, late at night. Although for a while he has undergone trials and tribulations, his hard work and personal dedication to achieve that infamous "American Dream" eventually have him become successful. His work ethics, his maturity, and his strength from a young age define an undeniably compelling role model. I look up to him even today, as his examples proceed to inspire and motivate me to go for it.

My decision to transfer university developed through a process of self-evaluation since freshman year at Syracuse University. I remember the period when the fresh beginning of college made my emotions succumb to a mix of anxiety and excitement. Eager raced through my mind upon deciding which courses to take, evaluating community service opportunities, and meeting new people. Whirling in my mind are many suggestive routes and endless possibilities branched from my preconception of the college experiences. Through my one-year journey of being a freshman and now a sophomore in college, I evaluated a better sense of self and an environment that would help advance my academic abilities and develop my personal role. Although my current institution does provide a great pre-medicine program, however I want to study at a setting that I can correspond well. I have decided that transferring to another university is the ideal choice to gain experiences that would help enrich my academic career. There will be a better potential for me to broaden my perspectives in terms of challenging myself with new experiences, finding internships of my match, and connecting with people of distinct diversity. My father used to tell me; "learning also means acquiring a discourse with people, not just mastering a body of knowledge." His words kept me thinking if the school I am currently attending is helping me achieve this. I hope by transferring to a school prevalently with a city-based setting, I will be able to build interactions with people indiscriminate by age, gender, socioeconomic-background, sexuality, religion, and the list goes on. Ultimately, transferring will pave way not only for me to cultivate a sense of social awareness and understanding, but also to both educational success and future preparedness.

As a pre-medicine student, I have always been a 'science junkie' as early as I can remember. In fact, my 5th grade Science Fair Project on the "Osmosis and Diffusion in Egg" was what brought visual attention to how surreal chemical reactions are. I remember setting an egg into a vinegar solution and then the next day, the shell of the egg completely disappeared and the egg itself became enlarged! I became so fascinated, and indeed spellbound by the art of Chemistry. I am curious to understand its mechanics and experiencing the thrill of its challenges at University. Studying medicine offers knowledge so powerful and it becomes very useful when further applying it when its main intention is to help people. Those who study or have studied medicine are genuinely compassionate and inspiring people. Although mastering medicine is a long journey and requires an overall dedication to time and effort, I am honored to be following the footsteps of excellent doctors. I hope to build a credible foundation through transferring to a different school. I believe by to studying at a challenging university, there are faculties who are great scholars and mentors that can guide me through my academic endeavor. In addition, such an institution would have connection to renowned health facilities that I can engage in hands-on experiences. My motive is clear—I'd rather be no doctor than a mediocre one.

Above all, I have envisioned my alma mater to be where I have become proud of my accomplishments. My ideal university is one that can provide an array of first-hand experiences to both cultivate interests within my academic study, as well as stimulate visual inspirations for my inner love for art. Thus at best, transferring is the right route for me. I am confident that I can be provided with the kinds of resources I initially seek. In the end, I hope to foster my ambition, which is to eventually become a qualified health professional candidate. All in all, I believe the best can happen through personal dedication. As they say, "like father, like daughter."
With the privilege of receiving a college education, I eagerly work to my best abilities and fruitfully seek out different experiences offered at university. Each day is a new beginning, as the cycle of time hastily revamps itself. Pacing up with time, I work hard to become a worthy pre-medicine student. I always put a lot of pressure on myself. It's like competing with myself, but hey, that's what makes life worth living. By the end of the day, I smile knowing I've done my best. To be a first generation to have a formal education in America, I know that the scope is much greater, and there are far more to experience. Yet, along with becoming an educated thinker, what I value most is remaining my humble self as I continue to embark on with my college career.

Holi kele nanda lala



greeno777 posted a photo:



Holi kele nanda lala



Holi (Hindi: होली), is a religious spring festival celebrated by Hindus. Holi is also known as Festival of Colours. It is primarily observed in India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Nepal, and countries with large Indic diaspora populations following Hinduism, such as Suriname, Malaysia, Guyana, South Africa, Trinidad, United Kingdom, United States, Mauritius, and Fiji. It is also known as Doḷajāta in Orissa and Dol Jatra or Basantotsav ("spring festival") in West Bengal. The most celebrated Holi is in the Braj region, in locations connected to the Lord Krishna: Mathura, Vrindavan, Nandagaon, and Barsana. These places have become tourist destinations during the festive season of Holi. Large parts of South India, however, do not celebrate Holi with the same fervour as in other parts of the country.



The main day, Holi, also known as Dhuli in Sanskrit, also Dhulheti, Dhulandi or Dhulendi, is celebrated by people throwing scented powder and perfume at each other. Bonfires are lit on the eve of the festival, also known as Holika Dahan (burning of Holika) or Chhoti Holi (little Holi). After doing holika dahan prayers are said and praise is offered. The bonfires are lit in memory of the miraculous escape that young Prahlad accomplished when Demoness Holika, sister of Hiranyakashipu, carried him into the fire. Holika was burnt but Prahlad, a staunch devotee of god Vishnu, escaped without any injuries due to his unshakable devotion. Holika Dahan is referred to as Kama Dahanam in South India.



Holi is celebrated at the end of the winter season on the last full moon day of the lunar month Phalguna (February/March), (Phalgun Purnima), which usually falls in the later part of February or March.



In most areas, Holi lasts about two days. One of Holi’s biggest customs is the loosening strictness of social structures, which normally include age, gender, status, and caste. Holi closes the wide gaps between social classes and brings Hindus together. Together, the rich and poor, women and men, enjoy each other’s presence on this joyous day. Additionally, Holi lowers (but does not remove completely) the strictness of social norms. No one expects polite behavior; as a result, the atmosphere is filled with excitement, fun and joy.



Every year, thousands of Hindus participate in the festival Holi. The festival has many purposes. First and foremost, it celebrates the beginning of the new season, spring. It also has a religious purpose, commemorating many events that are present in Hindu mythology. Although it is the least religious holiday, it is probably one of the most exhilarating ones in existence. During this event, participants hold a bonfire, throw colored powder at each other, and celebrate wildly.



Originally, it was a festival that commemorated good harvests and the fertile land. In addition to celebrating the coming of spring, Holi has even greater purposes. Hindus believe it is a time of enjoying spring's abundant colors and saying farewell to winter. Furthermore, Holi celebrates many religious myths and legends.



Rangapanchami occurs a few days later on a Panchami (fifth day of the full moon), marking the end of festivities involving colours.

Open Question: Some high school questions...?



I'm going to be 14 in August and have been homeschooled my entire life. I'm going to be a freshman this fall and going to public school for an art class and creative writing class, as those are two of my talents/passions. I'm going to sound really stupid to people who have been to high school, but I want to make sure that I don't sound stupid when I actually go to high school.
Do I have to take my own art supplies or does the school provide them? If I have to take my own what should I take?
When should I use my locker and what all do people usually put in them?
During roll call when the teacher says your name, do you raise your hand or say "here" or does it not matter?
What are some things that I should NOT do under any circumstances?

Thank you so much if you answer! I know I sound really stupid, but I've just never been to a real school so I have no clue what to do, haha.

Open Question: Help with my essay, need to add more words?



I'm writing and essay for a contest, and the minimum word amount is 750 words, and I only have 396 :/
I am writing about an important invention, and I chose the camera. Please read my essay and tell me what else I should add (I won't copy and paste, I'll put your idea in my own words!)

Here it is:

When we snap a photo with our camera, we usually don’t think about how different life would be without it. Without cameras, we wouldn’t be able to capture memories in on picture. Imagine life without school photos, vacation photos, and pictures ID’s. With this amazing device, we have the ability to document the important events in our lives, and treasure those memories forever.

The camera was first designed by Joseph Nicephore Niepce, a retired military officer from France in 1826. It was known as the “obscura” and was made out of two wooden boxes- one box with a lens and the other with a screen. Before, it was used for viewing images, but now people could take photographs with it. In 1840, William Fox Talbot perfected the photograph method. A photo was developed by mercury vapor, and then salt was used on it. Each step led to 1888, when George Eastman made the first simple camera available to all. This would change the world and make life simple for many.

Without cameras, we wouldn’t be able to view history through photographs. We wouldn’t have any photos of the first man on the moon, or a famous battle during war. If you look through any photo album, you can learn the life story of anyone. “A picture is worth a thousand words” is a quote we’ve all heard, but that’s because it’s true. Cameras can capture events and people, and each person who looks at a photo will learn a different story. This great invention has changed history, capturing a special message in every photo.

The camera is a great contribution to a generation of art- you can capture a moment in time and have a huge affect on people. We can take photos of any special event, and in that photo we have captured a memory that will stay with us forever. The camera also helps us communicate. Anyone can look at a photo and find out something new, no matter what language they speak. The camera helps us capture different moments and helps us communicate through photos.

In conclusion, the camera is an incredible invention that has changed the lives of many. We are able to snap a photo that will stay with us forever, and create thousands of memories. The camera has changed the world, leaving us with a different story for each photo.



Let me know what I should add. I am really stuck and I need to basically double my word amount. Thank you SO much for your time!

Open Question: My teachers are so nice :)..?



Well I'm a good student so most of my teachers like me (not all). They just seem such genuinely nice people and most are quite young (20s/30s) there's a few in particular who always say they can't fault me and they're proud of me! My grades have gone up soo much this year because my teachers last year were cr@p to be honest.. Apart from a couple. They've just helped me so much and I really wish I could keep them next year, I'm worried I'm gonna end up with bad teachers because I only do well if I have a good teacher. E.g. History teacher last year: B/C history teacher this year: A*! English teacher last year: C/B English this year: A*, same thing happened with art too. I'm worried next year I'll get bad teachers and also I know I'll really miss some of them, I still miss one from last year!
