I have to write to about the way you dress . Iwas a little intimidated to comment in person, so am writing instead. Ihope this doesn't upset you, but something has to be done. I must appeal
to you to start dressing like a mom.
Your unique sense of fashion is more like a sister's
than a mother's. Personally, it's embarrassing to have a mom who dresses younger than Ido.you wear tshirt with torn jeans and your nose is pierced My fnends say it's strange, but I thinkthey re being a little too negative. It's most likely because their boyfiends think you are pretw. Still, if you want me to have any
friends in this community, it is vital that you remove the ring
from your nose and start dressing like the other moms. Dont
your peers ever show any concern?
Don't you remember how horrible being a teenager can be?
I feel awful because I think people of my age would rather
talk to you than me. Last week at the shopping center, I had
the absolutely worst experience of my life. The young man
who took our money asked if you were my older sister.
thought he would likely ask you out if 1 hadn't said"Thanks,
mom "to you. It was disgusting.

Some people just can't keep from giving. That was the way it
was with my neighbor. Despite being crippled, she was very active.
In fact, she seemed to do more for the community every day than I ever
do in a year's time. I was always amazed at the pace she kept. On
Mondays and Fridays, she worked at a college giving students guidance onwhat career to choose. On Tuesdays and Thursdays she helped out
at a church that gave aid to people without homes. And on the
weekends, she taught local kids who needed extra help with their
schoolwork. And most hnportantly she always had a positive attitude
I don't remember once hearing her complain about her troubles.
The stresses of everyday life never seemed to bother her. Instead,
she looked for every occasion she could find to spread her good
humor around. I remember when I hadjust lost myjob. She took a
day off work to spend time with me and listen to my trifies. She
never once became impatient With my complaints She never acted like
there was anything in this world inore important than what I had
to say.Wnat I regret now is not having ever really done anything for
her. I suppose she never needed it.

and changing the tone of my voice. I don't think ! have ever had

AIDS has emerged as he world's biggest problem over the past
25 years. The epidemic has touched the lives of people around thc
word but no other place like Affica. In Affica 20
million people were infected with the diseace 1999. That number
continues to grow. Africa has accounted for nearly four out of five
AIDS related deaths in the world. It is estimated hat as of 1999, 13
million children had lost their parents to AIDS. Although there is
no cure, people in more developed countries can get medicine to
help. In Africa though, most do not have access to new medicines.
Most people neglect going to the doc. Find out if they have the disease.

When we stepped out of our door last evening, something
seemed difrcrent. I had this unusual feeling that something bad was going to happen. Our neighbnhood isn't the kind of place where
you would expect to get robbed but I guess you never know.
My husband and I were wallcing across our lawn to our piwked
car when a man leaped fiom behind our bushes. The man pointed a gun at my husband and demanded that we qive Mm our money. We
of course did so, and then begged formercy from Mm. He told
us to get on our knees andAhen he shoved my husband's forehead
iqto the dirt. He then grabbed my watch my wrist and told me
to lie down and close my eyes. I did. Not if we were going to
survive Then I heard Ms footsteps fade away into the darkness.
1 went to the police, but I couldn't the man because he
was wearing a stocking over his head. They admitted that they probably wouldn't be able to anything about it.
Of course, we can afford To lose the money. I can find a replacement for the watch he too. What bothers me though. Is how scared it made me to even go out in my own yard. I hate this
feeling of fear.

Think of success as water. In the course of progress, it flows.
Water breaks rock and reshapes land. Success similarly changes things, altering the world in ways both great and small. Think of outstanding inventors and information scientists. These were people for whom success flowed, and their names will be with us always.
Your personal river of success might be blocked, however. It may be backing up and forming behind a dam. Destroying this barrier, and setting yow potenital flee, must be first on your list of things to do.
Maybe you have concentration problems that keep you from succeeding
at school. Surely, if you cannot concentrate in class, you cannot
learn and hold onto vital information. Enhance your ability to
pay attention through a process of thought direction. Classes in this
timeless practice are offered in most universities. If it's not taught
at your school, maybe there's a religious group nearby that offers
instruction. Your personal barrier might be mental, however. There's a
chance that you have possibly encountered awful events in your life
that are now distracting you from being more productive. Be glad that
fortunately therapy is available for you. Seek help from a therapist,
and maybe you can make steps toward the life that you want.
Remember, the capacity for greatness is within you. And
the responsibility to awaken this greatness, to break the dam, is your
own. Good luck!

What's more important to you, money, a comfortable life, or
self-respect-Many people believe that we are living in an age
where values are in decline. They say that a standard for morality
has been replaced by self-interest. Some people even predict the
people of this earth will soon be punished and that disasters will destroy
much of the civilization today. Most disagree with such conclusions but
they do think that it is time to stop our excessive ways.
A non-religious woman from California commented, "I do
believe that a moral compass should guide our actions. We share this
planet and we need to keep the values like integrity and treat each
other with respect. There is a significant need for each inhabitant of
this world to take a good look at how they are behaving."
Another man from New York said, "It's not enough to be a
good person in your heart. We have to demonstrate our good intentions
though our actions. There is plenty of temptation out there. It often
causes people to give in to convenince instead of doing what is right. I
conscience instead ofwhat's easy, things will improve. We are all going to be heed with some tough decisions. I think we're ready hr the challenge,
