Well! It is, indeed, a matter of deep regret that you have decided to drop out from the course. However, I feel that your decision is hasty. There are other ways in which you can arrange for finances for the course.

You could talk to the Head of Department and explain the problems your family has been going through. The university may give you a concession on the tuition fee and the course would cost much lesser. Also, you could apply for a scholarship program. Since you are so good at the subject, you would be easily able to get the scholarship. That would take care of the expenses of your studies. You could also take up a part-time job after college hours. That would help you to earn some money and get some work experience. If nothing works, you could apply for an education loan. Give your credentials; I’m sure the bank would be more than happy to offer financial support. Once the course is over and you have a job, you can repay the loan through monthly instalments.

You must consider these options before you decide to quit. I strongly feel that you should not give up on the course.

I think the most memorable time in school was when I went for a school trip. Our teachers had organized a trip to Singapore. The trip was organized not just for the purpose of recreation, but was also significantly educational. It was a lot of fun as I was accompanied by my friends and we had an amazing time. We visited Gardens by the Bay and saw many varieties of plants. We got acquainted with the wonders of marine life at the S.E.A. Aquarium. We went to their Science and Technology Museum and learnt a lot of new things there. We also got a chance to spend a fun-filled day at Sentosa Island and Universal Studios enjoying all the rides. The trip also taught us a lot about basic etiquette and manners to be followed when travelling abroad. Truly, it was an unforgettable experience!

The scene shows a family of four in the room. Almost everything appears to be out of order. The mother is dressed up for work and holding school bags. She is calling out to her son, who is running around the room. She is also trying to wake her daughter who is sleeping on the couch. The father, also dressed up for work, is making arrangements for breakfast. He can be seen serving some eggs in a plate. Although the kids are relaxed, the parents look visibly unsettled. While the mother seems to be yelling at the young boy, the father seems to be in a rush. It looks like a normal weekday morning for a family with school-going kids and working parents.

I think the family would probably have a quick bite before they leave home. Maybe, the father, after preparing the breakfast, would also pack some snacks for the kids to have for lunch. The mother would ensure that the kids are ready and all set to go to school. She will, probably, help them pack their bags. She may also organize the room a bit before heading out. Since both the man and the woman are dressed in professional wear, it is safe to assume that they would also go to their respective workplaces after dropping their kids to school. There may be a lot of commotion, in the room, as the woman looks very angry. Maybe they are all running late and the kids are being difficult to handle.

I’m glad you have decided to change your phone. To be honest, it is very difficult to choose the right smart phone these days given the number of options. I think it would be best for you to purchase the I-TEL phone. Currently, it is the best phone in the market. With an amazing 6 GB RAM, the phone is faster than other normal phones in the same price range. It has an impressive Full HD AMOLED Display and comes with a dual camera with multiple modes to take good pictures. It is priced well at $700. The Connectall phone is a good choice too, but it is not as fast as the I-TEL. I am sure you are tempted to go in for this one because of the Quadri-Camera, but its functions are very limited.

I’m sorry about not being here to help you in organizing the grand Christmas lunch that you have planned for your family. I wish I could have stayed to help you out, but my family really wants me to be home on Christmas. A lot of my friends and cousins are coming over to our place. I haven’t met many of them in ages. I have already made all my bookings for travel. If I postpone my plans, I might not get tickets as everyone is travelling back home in the holiday season. Had I known about your plan earlier, I would have made plans accordingly. I’m in town for a few more days. Please let me know if you need my help for anything. I could help you with the decorations before I leave!

I think it is a misconception that home-schooled children are unable to adjust in the society. Adjusting with peers and colleagues depends on the temperament of an individual. Some people are introvert while others are extroverts. It’s a well known fact that extroverts make new friends and adjust with new surroundings and situations with greater ease.

Home-schooled children might have a deeper conceptual understanding of things, if they have been educated well. But they are at a disadvantage because they do not get a first-hand experience of learning discipline, classroom etiquette and manners and other social skills that are taught in school. They also do not get many opportunities to learn from their peers.

Home-schooling may not be a perfect model of education, but it would be wrong to say that home-schooled children do not fit in the society. If they have in-depth knowledge and a friendly nature, they can easily prove themselves once they step out of the protected environment of their homes. For that purpose, while home-schooling young children, it is essential to keep reiterating the importance of making friends and being cooperative. Children should be taught significant life lessons and encouraged to be helpful, kind and respectful to others.

Hey Debbie. You know how I have been wanting to jazz up the office for a while and I went to an interior designer to see what can be done. Guess what? I came across the most perfect coffee table. It is a round glass coffee table. The top of the table is a clear glass. Are you ready to hear the best part? It has an octopus at its base. The top is supported by three legs that are shaped to resemble sea weed coming out the ocean bed. The base is made to look like the ocean floor with star fish and sea shells on it. There are little sea weeds around the bigger one. Oh! I forgot to explain about the octopus. The octopus has a rust metallic colour. It is climbing on the sea weed to get on the top. It looks very real and the details on it are amazing. I think I’m going to get it for the office. It will beautifully complement the aquarium. Apart from this, given that my work is related to aquaculture and fisheries it would be a very good addition to the office. There’s more. It also has a beautiful octopus shaped candle holder in which a mini version of the octopus on the table is wrapped around a square holder. So what do you say? I should definitely get it right?
