I fell in love with him already but I cant love him. He is my online chatmate for a year already. The relationship progress immediately at the start but i distant myself when i learned she has a girlfriend already in my country Philippines…he is from California–but he said he will chose me over her. Still i did not agree with that situation….
Then,we are also of different religion he wanted me to convert but i dont want to, I am a Catholic and he is a Jehovah Witness…we cant talk long about religion without ending in an argument…he got also an ex for 10 years whom he has still in contact through facebook. Sometimes they talk about how they love and know each other. And I get jealous so much because of the length of their relationship. But he assures me its nothing….—I want to control my feelings but, the more I want to tell him I love him and I miss him….He would visit the Philippines if only i agree with a relationship with him but i cant, i got fears that he will be disappointed with my looks, too. I want to love him and be loved but its hard considering all these situations…what will i do? For him, I dont want to choose him because he is less to what type of guy i like but its not true….I feel, I am less for him….

I’ve asked a question about this before, but people said it was kinda hard to read, I hope this is better?)
Ok something that has been bugging me lately is um my GPA… I’ve been reading chance threads and look at my GPA and freak a little out. Weighted, my GPA is very high, but unweighted it’s not bad, I just made mistakes in the past.
Here:
8th Grade: I took two High School Courses. Algebra 1 Honors and IPSceince Honors. I did fine in both except in my County you take your two quarter grades and combine it with your semester exam. As the idiot as I was then, I didn’t think how this would affect my future. I was unsure the exam was actually counting towards high school?

I didn’t think about college at all back then, and I didn’t think back then the exams would affect me. I got A’s all four quarters in both quarters. I did fine on the Algebra Exam, but on the IPS Exam, I studied but I didn’t take it seriously. So A on Algebra Exam, C ON IPS EXAM which meant for IPS: A A C = B Final Average TWICE!

Freshman Year I was literally forced into an AP by my father. For me, I wasn’t ready then. I got a brand new teacher, teaching the course for the first time, I unluckily got the bad teacher out of the two teachers who taught the AP Course. She made the course harder than it had to be, made the tests harder than they had to be. We had one A every quarter, except for the last quarter where no one in my class got an A. Comparing it to my friend, who had the better teacher who taught it for many years, had students with a lot more A’s, and high AP Exam Pass Rate: like 95%. I’m not so upset, because I know I couldn’t of prevented it unless I waited a year, and got the better teacher, while being more prepared.

Next, the AP Course first semester affected me in my first two classes. I got a B in Geo Honors. I just found myself not having enough time, English Honors I was 1 point from getting an A for the Semester, I even got an A on the Exam. Luckily next semester I got control in my schedule and got an A in English Honor, but got a B for the 2nd time in Geo Honors basically b/c I couldn’t handle it then.

Is their a way to replace my Geo Honors score, by retaking it online. So it will help me on the SAT? and my GPA will be better? Same with IPS, and the Stupid Exam Mistake. After Freshman Year I had the low UW GPA of 3.62

Sophomore Year, I took Control of everything. I got all A’s in every course. We have 7 Class Periods. I excel in every class. So, when I look back at this it upsets me.
At the End of the Year (Coming Up Very Soon): 3.78 UW Round that to a 3.8 UW, and a 4.81 W. This doesn’t seem bad, I just worry because Junior Year Schedule, and the Schools I want to apply too. My Schedule Will Be:
AP English Language
Spanish 3 Honors
AP United States History
Pre Calculus Honors/Analysis of Functions
AP Psychology
AP Biology
Physics Honors
________________
Class Unsure About, but could always replace AP Biology with: AP Chemistry
Not Sure What To Do?
Finally, I know I can handle these courses, but I have no idea what is in my future. If i play my cards right and keep all A’s Juniors year, which would mean 4.0 UW 10th and 11th I could have a 3.85 UW which isn’t that high for some schools I want to go too? I will try my hardest in each course to get an A. I look back and if I didn’t make these small mistakes in the past my UW would be so much higher right now, and a bit nervous on keeping all A’s next year. Should I switch my schedule around?
Schools I’m most Interested In: UPENN, Brown, Northwestern, Cornell At UPENN, Brown I have family who are Alumni. 11 Alumni at Brown Including Grandfather. 2 at Brown including my Grandmother. The rest are cousins, great cousins, aunts, uncles, great aunts and uncles, you get the drift.
Basically, I’m freaked out after seeing the Chance Forum on CC.
Any Advice? I know I may seem freaked out, I’m not. Just a little ranting, that feels good to let out, and questions and advise I like to know with my situation.
Thanks.
I’m about 25 or 26 of 660, and about Top 3.7%? But UW counts a lot right? I know there is more when applying, I’m just concerned with GPA now. I’m good with EC’s lol, and studying for SAT.
I’m in many clubs, done plenty of hospital, museum volunteering, won a couple nothing huge awards, on varsity tennis, and planning to be officers in a bunch of clubs next year.
When this semester closes soon. I will have a 3.78 UW 4.81 W. If you round the UW I will have a 3.8 UW.
Edit: 11 Alumni At UPENN. 2 at Brown.

? I am 15 years old and want to start my own online business to make money for college. I would like to use the drop shipping method and have the items go through my own website and not Ebay. Is this possible for someone my age? My parents would support me and I would use their credit card, which I am already using for my Pay Pal account. But I need to know if this is legal. If not can I still sell through Ebay?

Thanks!

Something that matches you to colleges based on SAT/ACT scores, majors, locations, etc… NOT collegeboard.com, i don’t really care for that one.
Also, My Major is Marine Biology, but i am going to Med School, so if you know of any schools with a good marine bio program, that’d be nice too…
Thanks!

Hi I am a student seeking admission in First Year Degree programme. I can’t do full time degree since I secured low percentage 65% in HSC & MS University in Baroda doesn’t allow for lower percentage. Do suggest me your views if I’d be eligible for a full time MBA after finishing my Distance learning degree….. Also, if I can apply for CAT/MAT/XAT??

Alright, I’m not stupid but I’m only a hs sophomore so I really don’t know all the course terminaology when talking about applying to college. I was looking at a college online and they said they required one year of a lab science. What consitutes as a lab science? I’ve already taken Academic Biology and Conceptual Physics. I love science and I am planning on becoming a docter or some kind. I’m taking Honors Chemistry next year, than I’m taking Honors Physics and A.P. Biology. Did I already take a lab science? Or will the courses I’m taking in the future qualify as one?

I have been married 4 years on 2/26. I have always loved my wife very much and have done a poor job in communicating it to her. We have two children, one is from a previous marriage and the other is my biological child. I love them both very much. I also consider both to my children and if the option of adoption was available I would gladly adopt her.

After my wife and I had our child together things changed within our marriage. I began to change the way I behave toward our other daughter. At times I can say I was out of line and mean. It always seemed after I was mean I would ask myself why I acted that way. This caused problems between my wife and I. I am shameful and embarrassed with my actions.

Three years ago was also about the time I started doing side businesses on the internet. I thought if I could come up with a website that takes off i can really take care of my family. This is when our marriage began to decline rapidly. I was so involved with my online crap I lost touch with my and her needs. My computer is root cause of why I also stop getting what i needed. So my wife and I would have a blow up every two or three months. We always managed to work through them. However, my wife would always tell me we needed to go to counseling. I would say yes, but never took action. She says she wanted to see me so some initiative. Basically, I failed my wife and kids. I became distant and never took anything seriously. I always thought no matter what my wife and I faced we would make it through it.

Well 7 weeks ago my life stopped. We had a massive blowup. I mean it was big. Of course my usual arrogant self I thought well we will get through it. A few days later my wife waled in and said she was done. She was empty and had nothing else to give. She wanted out, a divorce. Something happened to me that i cannot explain. Something clicked and I realized everything that I want was about to be gone. I was devastated. I convinced her to go to counseling with me. She went for two sessions and stopped going. I have still been going to counseling sessions for myself. Seven weeks ago something happened. I opened my eyes and saw how I had been the last three years. I was the problem. Ever since that day I have vowed to be a better husband and father. I have since been able to rebuild my relationship with my girls. I no longer have the feeling I did with the two of them. The counselor opened my eyes, and I can now treat them equally. As far as my wife it has been different. My pursuit for her has been over the top. I want to longer be selfish. I want to love the my wife the way a man should. I want her to think of me the way I think of her. Finally, in my pursuit I have pushed her further away. I moved out of the house about two weeks ago. I still come by often to see the kids, but also just so I can see her. I moved out because she said she needed space and time and I could not give it to her while I am at the house. I now understand that. My wife and i do not curse or abuse each other. I believe we both have too much respect for one another to do that. How do i completely give her the time and space she needs and still keep the kids close? My wife has seen my transformation over the last seven weeks. I have made drastic changes for me, my wife and kids. I and now working out and have lost 23 pounds. When I come to the house i do all the small things I know she always wanted me to do. The difference is i do them now because i want. I do them because I know it helps her. I do them because that is what a husband should do. I have read the 5 Love Languages, The Love Dare, and went and saw fireproof. In fact, our story is identical to Fireproof except without a happy ending. My wife can now tolerate me, and we can have a conversation. However, she is not there yet. I need to give her total space. Is it ok for me to go a week without seeing her or my kids? No communication at all. This is what she wants. She wants me to show her I can listen to her and give her the space. I just want to show my wife how a man is supposed to love his wife and kids. I write this with loads of regret, shamefulness, embarrassment…I want to show my wife the new me….I think as of now the divorce is on hold but I really do not know…I pray to good space and time will allow her heart to heal and anger to subside a little so i can love her again.

Sorry for the book…
I have failed to mention a few things. While I beleive I am the root cause of our problem my wife is not the perfect one either. I have caught her in several lies, but not stood up to her. It has always been her way or the highway. Most recently when all this started she told all her friends I cheated on her. This is a flat out lie. I confronted her on this and she denied it. However, I have email proof. She also has been having late night conversations with a "friend". Friends do not talk from midnight to 3am everyday. She said she has been helping him through a hard time. Did I mention all this started when she joined facebook and started connecting to old pals. I take my share of the blame and as a man I have stepped up. However, she sees no fault on her own, and it takes two. I told her the other day i was coming back home to move in the upstairs room and she said if i did it was over definitely. I just wanted to be near my kids. What to do i have no idea?
Also, right before all this started 7 weeks ago marked her 5 year anniversary of her mom passing away. Oh and not to mention that is the time she started taking a prescribed diet pill called phentremene. My therapist who met with us twice believe there is more with her than just me, and i am the outlet. Not to mention she does to school two nights a week, has a job and works out of the house while taking care of the children. For the record, I do my share around the house. I cook and clean when i get home. Help bath the kids and get them to bed. My faults are getting on the computer afdter that point. Any I feel like my wife has over done her limits and is about to have a mental breakdown. Her behavior is so erratic. First she’s telling me its over. Then inviting me to hang christmas decoration in the house with the kids. Then has our oldest daughter come ask me if want to go to dinner. Then after that she flips and is rude and hateful. I just don’t know. I love her so much!
