Tutoring a student from a foreign country.

Yes, some of those lists are ridiculous. Especially ones that list income, but don't take into consideration medical expenditures. Like they wanted to give my brother $10 in food stamps per month because of his income being close to the poverty line. He had high blood pressure, diabetes, all of which costs for all the stuff that goes with it and the Drs wanted to see him once a month because nothing was under control. So he had to tell the Drs. to forget it so he could by food. I thought they were supposed to deduct medical. Sexually inappropriate is running between the bathroom and the bedroom in a towel? Who dreamed that one up? At our ARC, the mens' side and thw womens' side for bedrooms and baths, they can't go to the other side on the second floor. At least they're wearing a towel. How disabled other brother was , I thought was determined by IQ and the questions the Drs. were asked about him. He has to prove he's still mentally retarded every few years. Like there's a cure for that. Like you can stop being 60 IQ after a few years.

Write that on a 3 x 5 card, what you want to do and why. Put it somewhere prominent in the house and every time you pass by it, read it. Soon you'll have it memorized and every time you see it, it will be a prompt. A friend of mine did that and eventaully, little by little, she worked a little each day and obtained her goal. Take care.

Yes, it is satisfying to help her. Frustrating at times, too. She's very good at English, but still, language barriers do arise. But usually not for long. I so want her to get her GED. She graduated in another country, but we don't honor that deploma, I guess.

That must be sort of frustrating and unfair. Hope all goes well.

I don't thinki it's off topic. I think that's part of the topic. I hope people appreciate freedom before we loose and it and don't have any, too. May they always be able to afford you and may you also be able to afford them, plumber, Drs. auto mechanics, whoever you need. Thanks for coming and answering my discussion. Take care.

I hope you enjoy your learning about Wicca and Scientology. There are probably many people here who are from each one. We have similar as far as we can do what we want with religion here, but many people do try to tell us what to do, but we have the freedom to ignore them. I wished the same thing when I had a full time job. I cut my pay so this person could afford me, but I can't cut it much more. I have paper and print outs to provide. I bought GED books, gas, time, etc. Sounds like you're quite "the brain", C programming language instructor. Thanks for responding.
