Why is it bad to squander your money?



Is not wise to squander your money, because when you spend all your money struggles comes right away. I think people should be very carefully at spending their money because is not reasonable to waste all money in a little amount of time, when it took a lot of time to get that money. People should be carefully at buying stuff, in order to save some money for an emergency. I think it is not wise to squander your money because if you do then people would always come to you to get more money. If you always give out money to the people then you would not even have money for yourself, and you'll have to borrow money for what you need. When you borrow money you have to pay it back to the person you borrowed it from. It is not wise to squander your money because you should save it for something important, like a house or car or something useful instead of little things that are useless. Squandering your money can make you not be able to do things with your friends or not having enough money to but something that you really need. Too much squandering and you don't have any money can lead you to the temptations of a credit card. Every one has fallen in to buy something they know that they probably do not need. Like a new pair of shoes or a new video game. It's nearly impossible to not fall in to those temptations.

Future


Neonatologists provide specialized care for infants with special problems, such as preterm babies who need to be in incubators.I would like a future in the medical field. I want to become a Neonatologist. In order to become a Neonatologist I must go to Medical School. Medical school applicants must submit the transcripts from their undergraduate work and their scores from the Medical College Admission Test. Schools require letters of recommendation from undergraduate professors and may specify that the recommendations come from science and math professors. Medical school admission committees also interview potential students. The first two years of medical school focus on work in the classroom and laboratory and include coursework in anatomy, physiology, psychology, biochemistry, pharmacology and legal issues in medicine. In the final two years of the medical degree program students complete rotations in various medical specialties including surgery, pediatrics, family practice, psychiatry, and obstetrics and gynecology. While students do not have a chance to specialize in pediatrics during medical school, rotations do offer the student doctor the chance to spend some time working with children. Rotations provide practical clinical training in diagnosing and treating illnesses in different areas of medicine.In addition to a residency program in pediatrics, physicians planning a career in Neonatology must complete a specialized fellowship program. A fellowship in Neonatology may require the student to complete a pediatrics residency program that is at least three years in duration before entering the program. The additional training in a fellowship program exposes the physician to preterm babies with a variety of clinical issues, such as respiratory failure, growth restriction and infections. Fellowships usually include a combination of direct patient contact and lectures in Neonatology.

Favorite Celeb

My favorite celebrity is Raven-Symoné. In 2001, Symoné auditioned for a role on an up-coming series for the Disney Channel titled Absolutely Psychic, about a teenager with psychic abilities. She actually auditioned for the recurring role of Chelsea Daniels, but her role was changed to the lead character Raven Baxter and the series name changed to That's So Raven. The series debuted on January 17, 2003 and ended on November 10, 2007, becoming the Disney Channel's highest-rated and longest-running series. The title character draws on her talent, ingenuity, psychic powers and a variety of disguises to get in and out of amusing adolescent and pre-adolescent situations. It spawned a franchise including soundtracks, dolls, episode DVDs, and video games. That's So Raven was nominated for Outstanding Children's Program during the 2005 and 2007 Emmy Awards. That's So Raven, was the first Disney Channel series to have four seasons and 100 episodes. Merchandise has earned to date $400 million. The show also launched the channel's first spin-off series, Cory in the House. In 2003, she starred as lead singer Galleria Garibaldi in The Cheetah Girls, a Disney Channel Original Movie about four city girls who dream of becoming superstars. The movie was the channel's first musical and was the basis for another franchise, including dolls, video games, platinum-selling soundtracks and more. The film also starred Adrienne Bailon as Chanel Simmons, Sabrina Bryan as Dorinda Thomas, and Kiely Williams as Aquanette Walker. The film was directed by Oz Scott, and produced by Grammy-winner Whitney Houston. It attracted more than 6.5 million viewers opening night, making it (at the time) Disney Channel's most-watched movie and most highest-rated Disney Channel of 2003. In 2004, during her time on the show (That's So Raven), Raven-Symoné provided the voice of Danielle in Fat Albert. It had a moderate performance at the box office, earning $48,551,322 million worldwide during its theatrical run. She made an appearance in The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement as Princess Asana, during which she sang a duet with Julie Andrews. It was her first film with Walt Disney Pictures. It was also a hit performance at the box office, earning $134,734,481 million worldwide during its theatrical run. The sequel television film, Zenon: Z3 a Disney Channel Original Movie, included Raven-Symoné as Nebula Wade, reprising her role. On opening night, the sequel brought in more than 1.3 million viewers. The same year, after the unexpected success of the film and the film soundtrack, a pilot episode of The Cheetah Girls was recorded for the channel ABC. It was never picked up as a series due to her not being able to be in two series at the same time.

Favorite Book


My favorite book is the first book in the Pretty Little Liars series. The story introduces an exclusive group of friends: Alison DiLaurentis, the perfect yet manipulative queen bee, Aria Montgomery, an independent girl who is considered to be the oddball in Rosewood. Emily Fields, a swimmer who holds secret feelings for Alison. Hanna Marin, a shy, overweight girl who strives to be thin and popular like Alison. And Spencer Hastings, an overachiever who is brave enough to stand up against Alison's manipulative ways. Alison mysteriously disappears during a sleepover with the girls in the summer before 8th grade. The story then jumps three years later, when the girls are living their own lives and don't speak to each other. Aria returns to Rosewood from a three year sabbatical in Iceland with her family and comes back much more sophisticated than before she left. She meets and kisses a guy in a local bar who is revealed to be her English teacher, Ezra Fitz. Emily befriends the new girl in town, Maya St. Germain and soon develops romantic feelings for her. Hanna is the new popular girl in town alongside the former nerd, Mona Vanderwahl. However, she and Mona sometimes shoplift as a way to feel dangerous. Hanna battles the urge to turn back to bulimia, and struggles to manage the stress of keeping her queen bee status. Spencer continues to struggle in her long-standing rivalry with Melissa, her perfect older sister. Problems occur when she begins to feel attracted to Melissa's new boyfriend, Wren Kim, when he is introduced to the family. Throughout the story, the liars get messages threatening to reveal their secrets of the present and past, including a terrifying incident the girls refer to as "The Jenna Thing". They automatically believe it is their missing friend, Alison, because she is the only one each of them confided in regarding their darkest secrets. However, they are shocked when the police find her corpse buried in the backyard of her former house. The book ends with the liars receiving a text at Alison's funeral saying, "I’m still here and I know everything. - "A"

Favorite Song



My favorite song is Trust and Believe by Keyshia Cole. "Trust and Believe is the second single from Cole's album Woman to Woman. It was written by Guordan Banks and Jessyca Wilson of R&B duo The Righterz. It was produced by Grammy-nominated producer and songwriter DJ Camper. It premiered on Tuesday, October 2, 2012. The heartfelt ballad reflects upon Cole's position, with being cheated on by her ex-lover with her best friend. With it being one of Cole's favorites on the album, it shows the true premise of the album to help ladies with men who have done them wrong. I also like this song because of the amazing music video. The music video is actually like a mini movie and I enjoyed it and watched it many times.

Favorite Movie

The Cheetah Girls 2 (also known as The Cheetah Girls: When in Spain) is the 2006 sequel to the Disney Channel Original Movie, The Cheetah Girls. Its premiere received the highest ratings of all Disney Channel Movies at its time, a total of over 8.1 million viewers, beating the premiere ratings of High School Musical (7.7 million), and beating previous highest rated DCOM record holder, Cadet Kelly (7.8 million) as well as becoming the highest rated Cheetah Girls movie in the trilogy. The sequel is about a talented teen quartet who take a whirlwind tour of Spain to pursue their dreams of pop superstardom. Unlike its predecessor which incorporated karaoke-like musical numbers, The Cheetah Girls 2 turned into more of a musical.This is also the last film in the series to star Raven-Symoné. The film is currently the 6th highest-rated Disney Channel and most highest-rated Disney Channel of the year 2006.



I really love this movie because it stars my favorite childhood actress, Raven-Symoné. I enjoyed this movie a lot because of all the singing and dancing that a child my age would love at the time.

What if Christmas never came?


 
Many people in our society today may have never even thought of such a notion. But it is surely one that provokes some deep feelings. You see, if you take the Christ out of Christmas, there is no Christmas!Many people in our culture might object at this point and say that Christmas is more about the giving spirit, "peace and good will toward men." While we as Christians applaud these holiday expressions of love and kindness one to another, that is not the intent of the Bible verse. When the angels sang "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men" (Luke 2:14 KJV) they praised God for the gift of His Son. The peace and good will was from God to man (not man to man). But what if there were no Christ to believe in? No Jesus to live for or even die for? Let's consider together what would happen if that were true.

What if Christmas were cancelled?
Apart from all the crass commercialism of Christmastime there is an inescapable deep meaning to this holiday (or holy day). This meaning permeates many of the traditional symbols of the season. For example, the song The Twelve Days of Christmas was created as a musical allegory. It was a teaching tool used in England to instruct young people in the truths of the Christian faith. The meanings were hidden in the lyrics to avoid severe persecution and almost certain death.Faith and new life in Christ have inspired countless songs, books and expressions of love and gratitude - but what if there was not Christmas at all? Isaiah the prophet wrote over 700 years before Jesus was born: "Behold, the virgin shall be with child, and bear a Son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which translated means, "God with us" (Isa. 7:14; Matt. 1:23). It is incredible to think about the fact that the very One who causes all this controversy is none other than God in human flesh! (John 1:1,14). The Bible makes it crystal clear that in the person of Jesus Christ "all the fulness of Deity dwells in bodily form" (Col. 2:9). Jesus, who is God, became a man. He "emptied Himself, taking the form of a bond-servant and being made in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross" (Phil. 2:7-8). Miraculously, His true identity reveals that He is God with us, who died for us! But in our "make-believe" story Jesus wasn't here. He never came, never touched the sick, comforted the brokenhearted, never healed the blind, deaf and lame, never calmed the sea or called to the other side of the grave. Never preached, cried or died for our sins and never conquered the grave and rose again from the dead (see 1 Cor. 15:12-22). There is no adoption into God's family, no heaven, no chance of a joyful reunion. No hope of being in the wonderful presence of God forever, no life! (see John 10:10; Rev. 21:1-6; Psalm 23:6). "And she will bear a Son, and you shall call His name Jesus, for it is He who will save His people from their sins" (Matt. 1:21). In this sad scenario - He never did save us. That wonderful baby was never born, Mary never sang her song of rejoicing, that baby never became that man (all the while being God) and never died a horribly excruciating death on the cross for our sins.
Aren't You Glad That Christmas Has Come!?
