For the past few months I've been tutoring a young lady here in Baltimore, a recently resettled Meskhetian Turkish refugee who (as you can imagine) is struggling a bit with life as a 9th grader in a large American public school. She absolutely kicks ass in math and science (and dreams of going to Hopkins to become a doctor), but government class is much more difficult and so has been the focus of our weekly study sessions. As always, I feel like I've probably learned more than I've taught, and revisiting subjects like Brown vs. the Board of education and the electoral college in her company is kind of amazing given the discrimination and persecution she and her family have faced.
I thought we were in the home stretch with the end of the school year upon us, exams wrapping up, etc and was planning to do something fun this weekend since the pressure to study would finally be lifted. Until my phone rings tonight, and its Lutfiya, and she's calling with a question before her last exam (government, of course!) tomorrow:
"Dana, what is the Declaration of Independence?"
Crap! So much for my tutoring skills since I seemed to miss covering this one, uh, sort of important piece of American history. If only I could smash all the episodes of HBO's John Adams into one night and have her watch them before the test tomorrow...

Good day, sun shines!
There have were times of hardship when I felt unhappy missing knowledge about opportunities of getting high yields on investments. I was a dump and downright stupid person.
I have never imagined that there weren't any need in big starting capital.
Nowadays, I'm happy and lucky , I begin to get real money.
It's all about how to select a correct partner who utilizes your funds in a right way - that is incorporate it in real deals, parts and divides the profit with me.
You may ask, if there are such firms? I'm obliged to answer the truth, YES, there are. Please be informed of one of them:

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a nicey, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of financial piramyde, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I'm very close at catching at last a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
