See the image above? Imagine having all of that work confined into one place, and still having all of that room on your desk to put whatever you want on it. Putting all of the information that's scattered throughout your desktop on a computer/tablet that is built into the desk itself not only puts everything into place that is easily accessible, but leaves more room for other things.

Actually, children like to learn. Actually. Many children lose their motivation to learn early on. Every child is born with an incredible desire to discover and shape. Never again in his life will a child be as curious and inquisitive as in his early childhood. Parents (and educators) should become aware of this treasure and this openness and uphold it because this basis can facilitate the school career.

What I Learned at My First Semester of College
1. All the bad things are easy to get. It is true, and everyone knows it. Getting anything is easy: Alcohol, weed etc. I quickly made friends with people over 21 who always had some type of alcohol, so it is obvious what we did when we hung out. This point is not limited to only drugs. You have a boyfriend with his own room? Everyone knows what you guys are doing and no one bats an eye.

Living the Dream While Paying the Cost
The Cost of Chasing Our Dreams Many come out of high school with goals for the future: Career aspirations, personal dreams, etc., and see the next logical step for those as college. For some people, they are first generation and aspire to go where their family hadn't been before; for others, like yours truly, were guided towards college as the chance for better jobs, more opportunities and the experience of a lifetime. I personally came from a woman who took the first-generation college description to the extreme: My mom earned six degrees, including her PhD., by the age of 45—talk about setting a high standard for the rest of us.
