topic for my Service Writing Project?
Alright, so I have an essay/project coming up and it's a "service writing project". Here is some information my teacher wrote about it: "Your sixth writing assignment is to find a creative way to serve someone with your writing abilities. Some ideas might be to write a letter to a missionary, a story to share at a children’s hospital or nursing home, or a recipe to share with a neighbor." Some other info: "The topic is open. You may write using any format that will truly be a blessing to someone else. Be creative. Writing a letter to a relative is off limits. It needs to be something that you would not normally do." Just to avoid confusion, it's OK if I write to someone who's not going to write back or someone who has passed. I obviously don't want you to do this for me; I just want a little help getting the ideas flowing. Some examples my teacher has attached are things like a letter to a man who created a curriculum for home-schoolers, or a man who escaped the nazis in Germany (kind of like Corrie Ten Boom). I have ideas already, which consist of a letter to...founders of the Boys and Girls club of America; Peter Benenson, the lawyer who founded Amnesty International; Susan B. Anthony, regarding women's rights; and Edgar J. Helms, founder of Goodwill Industries. If you could give me maybe one or two ideas so I have a larger group to pick from, that would be great. If not, do you think the ideas I already have go along with the instructions and will get me a good grade? Thank you!

Writing a letter to anyone can be good enough in itself. Giving people hope in themselves, others and humanity are always good. You should try to stay away from cliches such as writing to people who have already achieved great things in their lives. You can catch your teacher off guard by choosing a close family member who you have never gotten close to, your neighbor, someone who recently lost their job, or even a person in your school that no one talks to. Choose average people around you, even a complete stranger would work. You don't need much to make a difference in the world. Just show someone you care. Also, you can always write to someone serving in the military.

Do what your heart says!!! If i were you, I would personnaly chat with him a lot about his past and his background first. Then I would decide if he is okay for me or not. Do not hurry to take decision on this matter. You can make him wait for few days more so you can see his reaction.

You won't know if he's right for unless you get to know him better. It seems to me that you are ambitious and plan to have an interesting and fulfilling life. This guy doesn't seem ambitious at all. You may find that his lack of drive annoys you after a while. It would be a shame if he held you back from achieving your goals.

Hi Sword, No, he doesn't sound right for you. Why? Because of the drinking, smoking, and swearing. He'll probably also expect sex before marriage. You could go out with him, but most likely he won't seem so attractive after a few dates... especially not after kissing him and getting a whiff of smoker's breath. Don't ever think that you'll be able to change him (i.e., getting him to stop smoking, drinking, and swearing). Would you want him to try and change you (i.e., try to get you to start smoking, drinking, swearing, and giving up your virginity to him before marriage)? BTW, well done on deciding to keep your virginity intact... you've avoided lots of heartache, drama, pregnancy scares, and diseases. Signed, PC .

what makes NYC so AMBITIOUS
what makes NYC so AMBITIOUS?
I need a direct linkage for the insane work culture here!!! At first I thought it came from London and Europe and its initial settlers. Can't be!! I've trained and been place on work projects in London, The Netherlands, Germany, Francais...Nothing compares to the NYC pace. Could it be an American phenomenon then? We have offices in LA, the South, and midwest. Whenever I visit these offices everything feels soooo sloooooooow, so that can't be it. Could it be Wall Street culture extension? Could be, but this work hard mentality seems to span ALL industries in Manhattan. Legal, Advertising, PR, Accounting, even Nursing. Hours worked here are much, much more, so that can only be a partial answer. NYC pays more than anywhere else? Quite possibly so, but some studies have shown competence doesn't always equal pay (look at DC for example, ha!). So that can't be the full story. Melting pot immigration? Hong Kong, Tokyo, and Singapore are just examples that you don't need diversity to promote this type of ambition, so that's not it. So what exactly is the DIRECT reason for NYC's insane work hard (and thus, play hard) mentality if you could only pinpoint it to one historical event or influence? WHAT MAKES THIS TOWN SO DAMN AMBITIOUS?!?!?!

It depends on whether you need a guy who is totally compatible with your own interests, or not. Obviously this guy is not the same as you, he likes different things, but that doesn't mean you cant be happy with him. I dont think you know him well enough to judge, but you dont have to decide right now. That's what first dates are for. And second, and third, if needbe. Date him, since you find him attractive, and see whether or not you have a connection that's deeper than lifestyle and interests.
