What is the difference between elementary school and middle school?
I personally thought that both schools are the same, just that in middle school the work is a bit tough. Many different students have different answers and would make me happy to hear a few answers. #graduate-school #college-student #student-affairs
Should I choose the job I love or the job that makes me money?
Looking back at my 16 years of life, I would have never thought I would have to choose between doing what I love and making money. As a little girl, I always dreamed of being a teacher. I looked up to the agents of change at my school and appreciated all of the things they do for me and the...

What are some ways a high school student is able to answer the age-old question: "What do I want to do for the rest of my life?"
