Daycares hiring 14 year old Bronx New york ?
I think you are to young to work in a daycare center
What is it like to go to high school in New York? 15 points for best answer?
Schools vary so much here in NYC. There are so many different kinds of high schools here! Most kids start high school at 14 in 9th grade. In NYC it's very hard to enter high school after 10th grade. This is because it is so competitive o get into the really good schools here, and the better schools often won't take new admits after 10th grade. Kids who move here after 10th grade can end up with very few options. The sad fact is that there are great high schools in NYC and really terrible schools, with little in between. I suggest that you check out a really great website called insideschools.org for lots of really helpful information on how to get into a good NYC high school, and what te different schools are like. BTW, as you asked about kids getting out at 1 pm, my daughter's schedule has her coming to school at 8 am and not leaving till 4 pm! It's a long school day, and she has an hour commute on the subway to get there (and another hour to get home, as well). But it's such a great school, she doesn't mind. EDIT: I just read the answer above me. That person is wrong about the Bronx and Brooklyn. I live in Brooklyn, and there are several good high schools here that are NOT specialized schools! I'm sure that must be true of the Bronx as well. The Bronx and Brooklyn are BIG places made up by different neighborhoods. Some of these neighborhoods are good and some are bad. This is true for the schools system as well.
Teens: What are your plans after high school? (College, Careers..)?
Go Gators! That's so weird, my best friend is planning on going to UF and she wants to be a pediatrician! After graduating from a top tier boarding school (I'm applying for next year), I want to go to college. Preferably an Ivy League, preferably Columbia, and major in biology, minor in psychology. Then take two years and go into the Peace Corps. Then go to medical school (not sure where yet). Then take a year off to travel. Then start my two year psychiatry residence. Then I finally become a licensed psychiatrist. Meet the perfect man along the way and marry him. Move somewhere glamorous, like New York City or Southern California, and have two kids: one when I'm 35 and the other when I'm 37. A boy and a girl: Belle and Benjamin. Maybe write a couple books and become a college professor when I get older. Oh, and spend a couple summers in Disney World as dancer, singer, or princess. I would really want to be Belle from Beauty and the Beast.... ((: Okay, now I'm getting really ridiculous! Haha I'm sure this won't happen just the way I planned, but I'm only 14. I may change my mind in a year, a month, or a day. But it's fun to dream:)
Teens: What is your life plan right now?
Me: When I graduate from my highschool (I'll be 18), I'm heading straight to my preferred university to earn my Bachelors of Elementary Education. I've wanted to be a teacher ever since I was 6 y/o. I love kids! I would teach at the school that I graduated elementary school from :) I want to meet a man who loves me for me and will do whatever it takes to make me feel special :) He'll be sweet, gentlemanly, family-oriented, funny and easy to talk to. Hopefully, he will also have a well-paying job, just in case. Hopefully, I want to get married in my early to mid-twenties in a very simple, small, yet beautiful beach wedding, during the time of sunset. Lol. Then I want to honeymoon for about a week somewhere in Europe, but I'd say mostly Italy. ;) After we get married, I want to settle in a nice apartment with about 2 bedrooms in area near we work. I want to have two kids when I am about 26-30 years old; a boy and a girl so I get a taste of raising both genders. For a girl, I'd name her Mia Gabrielle and for a boy I'd name him Connor James. (I got these names from another user and I think they're very nice :)) After I have my second child, I want to move into a single-level contemporary house that is cozy yet modern at the same time. I want it to be in a good, suburban area with a pool and have just enough space for all of us. Hardwood floors would be a bonus too! I want to adopt a small abused or abandoned dog and raise him/her in a loving home. I would adopt a yorkie, jack russel terrier, chihuahua, or a toy poodle. I want to drive either a BMW or a Range Rover :D I want to retire with my husband and see my grandkids and great-grandkids. I want to move to the country and raise horses and just enjoy natural, peaceful life until I die warm in my bed ;-) I plan a lot lol So, what are yours; I love reading your answers! Nikki
Breaking into Hollywood: What is good advice for teenagers today who want to make and direct movies?
At 12 our oldest always had a video camera in-hand. Not knowing anything about cameras, I phoned an old college friend who'd been art director for Texas Chainsaw Massacre and twenty-something other horror films and told this 50-year-old bachelor my son was coming to spend the summer with him as his apprentice. "Like HELL he is!" came the response. But I persisted and he eventually relented.They hit it off big time. For the next nine years until Bob died, my son spent two or three months a year working for him on commercial projects. A big part of what made it succeed was that Bob was absolutely inappropriate. He was a demanding perfectionist with no concept of normal boundaries for a child. For instance, he had my son, at 12, on his go-to-bed-at-2-in-the-morning schedule. They'd spend whole nights watching horror films, the original storyboard in my son's lap and Bob pointing out the camera angles and the psychology behind them. At 14, my son took a month off from 7th grade to lug equipment around the badlands and rattlesnakes of New Mexico shooting a public service film on its more famous Indian ruins. He slept behind the seat of the truck as they traveled to the next day's location.My son skipped high school to work with Bob and others. Bob died ten years ago right when my son was graduating college with a degree in film and video. So off to New York City my son went and landed a hundred-dollar-a-day production assistant job. With the solid grounding he got from Bob, he shot up. He's now been cameraman/producer on many TV shows and director of photography on feature films. Today he's directing a TV pilot, and he's received two primetime Emmys for his work.I describe his life as getting well paid to take one adventure vacation after another with fascinating people. It's a great career. The path we sort of ended up choosing for him (we were making it up as we went along) ended up giving him an unfair advantage over kids who dabbled on their own, went to film school and then went looking for a job.Bob literally gave my son a million-dollar education for free and loved doing it. The opportunity was there just for the asking. So ask. What we learned is that for many talented people, the chance to pass their knowledge along to the future is a priceless gift in itself.
