23 years old, no job, no major education and I need help from someone please?

Posted on May 20, 2012 by admin| 6 Comments

Hi, my name is Robert. I am 23 years old and still living at home because I don’t currently have a job. I am also a college drop out. For now, I am only doing an online course for computer repair. Well, because computers are my forte to be honest(as well as painting). I want to advance in that area.
The real reason I made this question is because I am scared for my life right now. The only real skills I have obtained in the past 5 years are in art. Specifically digital painting. With Photoshop elements and Gimp 2. Whenever I show my artwork to people online or in the real world I cannot get that person to take a comission for the sake of survival in this world. I know you might be saying “If you live at home you should be fine.” Even though that might be somewhat true, at the same time it’s not. My mother has a very limited income which I’m not sure of. We hardly talk anymore since her boyfriend moved in. Whom I hate by the way. He stays here all day doing nothing but online poker and chatting on his cellphone which my mom pays for. I’m not trying to say I’m better than him but hes taken my territory I call “home”. I VERY MUCH HATE HIM FOR THAT.
It would be great if for once in this life time, that I could just get a break and get paid for painting after all I’ve been through. I ran away from my dads house when I was 15. Tried to join the army when I was 17-18 and failed. After that I’ve been bearly surviving. I know you guys will say just go out and get a job. Believe me I have tried over and over. filling out 10 apps a day for 6 months every other week then just gave up on it. It’s been 3 months since the last time I tried for any job cause I already know I’m not going to get it because of no work experience except for Taco bell for 2 months out of my entire 23 years of exsistance…I know sad…
I cannot do this anymore though I need someone who will do a deal with me with art. The area I am truely skilled in. I’m sorry if I bore you with my story but I really just need a break from this broken home scene I’ve been in the last 5 or 6 years. Ive tried to get a pack of friends together to motivate me and build a website for my art and sell stuff at a flea market but the motivation dies after they forget about it. Cause they don’t take it serious enough. I need someone online to really help me be fruitfull at this stuff. Even if it’s just to get me noticed somewhere, I’ll take it. I need some help. I’m scared for my life! Please someone help me with my skills. Someone who knows where to put my paintings. I have some of my stuff on deviant art and youtube already. My user name is kasumisman on both sites.

Is joining the Canadian Armed Forces a good idea?

Posted on April 30, 2012 by admin| 3 Comments

I’m 16 years old and I’ve always been interested in joining the Military since I was a young kid, unfortunately my parent’s will not approve of my decision because I am their “one and only precious little boy.”I don’t know what I want to do with my life as far as education and getting a career, if anything I’d like to pursue music. As far as my upbringing and knowledge on weaponry, combat skills, survival, etc, it is very limited. I did 8 years of Boy Scouts so I know some essential basic skills for surviving in the wild, but that’s about it. I know politics decide what happens in the Military but I’ve always been a caring, concerned, open-minded person who has always wanted to help others in need. I’m fairly intelligent and tall, I’m 6’2 and unfortunately pretty skinny but I’m sure the military would change that asap. Base Borden is only a 30 minute drive from my house also which is a plus. I’m willing to cut my hair short (its fairly long) and I’m able to take directions and listen to instructions without questioning, etc. I think I would survive in the military and I would be determined to go through all the hard, harsh training and early wake ups, etc. I’m willing to train my body psychologically, physically, and emotionally for whatever they want, and I’m willing to go over seas if I have too.

So is the Military a good career choice if I’m willing to take the challenge and possibly help the world someway or another? And be honest with me, if I want to help others should I just join the Peace Corps? I’m not afraid to go into battle, I know my life will be on the line, I’m not some stereotypical Call of Duty teenage nerd, I know there are no re-spawns, I know you can’t just customize your gun in the military, etc. I just want to fight terror and help other people in need who don’t have the wonderful privilege of living in an amazing country such as Canada, and if I figure out this is what I want to do I will be signing up as soon as I turn 18 (even though you can join the military at 16 my parent’s would not allow it, would not drive me to the base, support me, etc.)

Undergraduate admissions ESSAY about achievement Afghanistan UC prompt 2?

Posted on April 20, 2012 by admin| 1 Comment

My aunt handed me the packet of papers while looking me in the eyes. She firmly said, “You are the one I know who has the ability to change this.” Flipping through the papers, I saw names of waitlisted students at the adult education school where she worked. These students needed to learn English fast, yet here they were, either waitlisted or unable to learn due to language barriers. They were blocked by the same impediments my parents faced ten years ago. Although before I had no assistance to offer, this time I wanted to make a difference and use what I learned witnessing my parents struggle in order to bring about a positive change in these students’ lives.
When I first met the students to whom I had offered to teach English, I saw the image of my own family before me. This diverse group of students was comprised of immigrants eager to pursue the American dream. Throughout the journey, many individuals including the Afghan women would confide in me stories of their past. Their battle against oppression and discrimination sparks a vivid memory of my own parents, and I vow to emulate the resilience these women have, despite what they are subjected to.
Watching my mother struggle with English literacy, I understood the obstacles these individuals faced, and was able to capitalize on my bilingual abilities to ease their transition. I set up groups to address these challenges one by one. I knew it would be difficult as it was for my mother to learn from a teacher who primarily spoke English, so I took it upon myself to give these groups of students what my mother had to struggle without. My fluency in Farsi, Dari, and Spanish allowed me to tutor the students English in their native language, thus allowing them to progress much more quickly than if they were learning from an English-speaking-only teacher.
There are countless times where I reminisce about the memories I have created alongside these individuals. Acting as a bridge, I have helped close the gap between their past and present. Although I may be teaching them English, a valuable skill, the reality is that through teaching them I have experienced the truth about my own humanity, and the richness is a tangible lesson that will always be with me.
The truth is the most significant aspect of being human has nothing to do with language or nationality, or even culture or religion. The most important element of humanity is just that—humanity: helping each other and giving what we can to aid in each others’ survival. Without that basic moral, we would all just be lost, searching in the dark for ourselves. My future career, regardless of any field will allow me to add to the human experience of humanity by sharing my background and family’s struggles with others going through the same thing.
keep in mind that im over word count so i cant add any more words!

Let the markets close down- now how useful is your “education”?

Posted on March 19, 2012 by admin| 21 Comments

Just wondering what a socialist, government dependent society has to say about this matter.

And yes, this matter is spiritual. I can make this claim by asserting that it relates to Revelation 13:17

“And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.”

I think that there will very well be an economic takeover like that. But that’s beside the question. How will your college degree help you when your only economic option will be to stand in GMO cheese lines and sleeping in gymnasiums? Or have you acquired survival skills, to live off the land like the rugged pioneers of early America?
