Who is qualified to write a statement about my disciplinary history at high school?

April 24, 2010 - 6:17 am 2 Comments

I am currently applying for La Sierra University in Riverside, California.
On the application they asked if I have been dismissed, suspended, expelled, or otherwise subject to any disciplinary sanction by any school, college, or university.
If so, I am required to attach a statement from an appropriate school official corroborating my summary of events in addition to my own explanation of events.
I have been issued a Saturday school my junior year and so I need to have this statement.
My only question is, who do I go to to have this statement made?

Most likely a counselor, but you could also ask whoever is in charge of discipline at your school (at my high school, you knew a kid was about to get suspended when they were sent to the vice principal’s office).
Good luck getting into La Sierra.

What is a thesis statement and how do I write a good thesis statement for an essay?

I need help writing a thesis statement for a character analysis essay on Julius Caesar from Shakespear’s play, "Julius Caesar". But I’m not sure what exactly a thesis statement is and how to write one. Can someone please give me an example of some sort? It would be very helpful and highly appritciated. Thank you.

A thesis statement is the point you are trying to prove for your essay. So say you are analyzing Brutus, You could say, Although Marcus Brutus thought recklessly throughout Shakespeare’s novel Julius Caesar, he possessed an honorable stature and did not back down from his beliefs. And then you prove it by stating information and such. Your thesis statement is stated in your introduction paragraph too

What is the difference between the statement balance and current balance when i go to make a payment?

March 19, 2010 - 11:18 am 3 Comments

I don’t really understand what the statement balance is. My current balance is higher than my statement balance. I have no minimum payment due because I already payed it I guess but I like to keep on top of my payments and be really early before I forget to pay. How do they figure out what the statement balance is vs. the current balance. But I think I might want to pay the larger amount from the current balance. I’m just kind of confused as you can tell. This is my first credit card account.

Your statement balance is the amount you owed at the time they printed your bill.

Your current balance is the amount you owe in total. Not all of the current balance is due.

For example, on January 10, VISA printed your bill and you owed them $300.
On January 11 you have a meal and spend $30 on your VISA.
Then when you go online to check your credit card statement, you would see a statement balance of $300 - the amount you owe them right away. But the current balance would be $330 - the amount you owe them now plus the amount you’ll pay in the future.

What is a good thesis statement for a paper about the power of myths?

February 17, 2010 - 5:27 am 1 Comment

I am writing a paper about the positive ways myths can make sense of the world around us and potential problems belief in myth can create. I already have all my sources but I am just having trouble coming up with an opening statement so that it doesn’t sound like a 10 year old wrote it. Thanks for your suggestions.

Possibilities:
-The ancient greeks have a powerful mythology that explains the world phenomenon.
- Many of the ancient civilizations had strong religious beliefs that influenced their actions, and helped them to understand the ways of the world.
- The legends told in cultures of the past helped satisfy their curiosity on how the world functioned.

What is a good thesis statement for the Ancient Greek Olympics?

I need a thesis statement for an essay on the Ancient Greek Olympics, it has to have a support for it, and a reason to debate it. Any help would be very much appreciated, Thank You!

I hope you find this helpful.

Constructing A Thesis Statement:

1.Determine what kind of paper you are writing:

•An analytical paper breaks down an issue or an idea into its component parts, evaluates the issue or idea, and presents this breakdown and evaluation to the audience.

•An expository (explanatory) paper explains something to the audience.

•An argumentative paper makes a claim about a topic and justifies this claim with specific evidence. The claim could be an opinion, a policy proposal, an evaluation, a cause-and-effect statement, or an interpretation. The goal of the argumentative paper is to convince the audience that the claim is true based on the evidence provided.

If you are writing a text which does not fall under these three categories (ex. a narrative), a thesis statement somewhere in the first paragraph could still be helpful to your reader.

2. Your thesis statement should be specific—it should cover only what you will discuss in your paper and should be supported with specific evidence.

3. The thesis statement usually appears at the end of the first paragraph of a paper at which point it is referred to as a thesis sentence.

4. Your topic may change as you write, so you may need to revise your thesis statement to reflect exactly what you have discussed in the paper.

What is the tax statement provided by medical insurance providers for reporting medical expenses?

February 10, 2010 - 7:06 am 2 Comments

I need to know the name/number of the year-end statement that medical insurers provide for reporting medical expenses for tax purposes. I don’t know if my provider automatically sends time out via snail mail, or just makes them available online and I need to know the form to find out.
The insurance provider I had last year (I’ve switched jobs since) provided a statement outlining everything we paid out of pocket. Maybe it was specific to them and I assumed it was a tax form.

There is none. It’s up to you to assemble the bills and proof of payment from your personal records. Insurance companies do not provide statement, either. Only your actual out-of-pocket expenses paid are reportable. What the insurer paid to providers is not.

What was the official statement from the No On 8 campaign after it passed?

February 5, 2010 - 8:20 pm 1 Comment

No on 1 still has their statement about what the loss of the No On 1 campaign means. Does anyone know if there is an archived file of the No on 8 web page or at least their statement regarding the passage of Prop 8?

they snivelled and claimed that " nobody who isn;t affected should have had a vote on the matter" and " churches shouldn’t be allowed to weigh in on politcal matters"
