Can anyone explain what deferred senior life insurance is? Can anyone explain what deferred senior life insurance is?

It's basically a high rate, guaranteed issue policy, where the death has to be at least two years after you start paying on the policy (death must be deferred) in order for you to collect. It's the most expensive way to buy insurance, because people who are already critically ill, can still "buy in".

How can I find the names of the board of directors of hebrew senior life?

You can call them and ask them if that info is on their web site. If not, it is in their brochures (we've seen them years ago). Ask them to mail you one.

How do i maintain my GPA and my life my senior year of HS while applying to college?

Does it get cold in Maine? I was thinking about applying to New England University in Maine. I was wondering if i should, because i've lived my whole life in New Jersey and it doesn't exactly get very cold here. I mean we get snow but i usually just wear sweat shirts in the winter because it only gets to like 30 degrees out or something. Plus, i'm not a big fan of winter jackets. I don't think i've worn one since 7th grade. The photos i've seen of the school are so beautiful and i want to major in psychology, which they pretty much have anywhere. I was thinking i could visit the school this year and was wondering, when is the best time to go? i start my senior year in 2 weeks and still have 2 take my ACTs( moms makin me :)) and my SAT retake( mom again) and my SAT 2s plus apply to colleges. so please help! i need all the advice i can get about scheduling! to do all this stuff and maintain at least a 3.5 GPA with my new Ap class extracurriculars and a job.

Maine isnt too bad once you get used to it. (Take it from someone who's lived there half a decade) But NJ's got pretty nice weather compared to the possible negative 10 degrees in Maine. But hey, the worse only lasts a week or two in the winter time.

Dont be afraid of pursuing your dreams just because of the weather. Winter jackets are not that bad. Khol's has nice, lightweight jackets that does not give you a bulky look, but a nice figure, rather. I have a long, red jacket that's light as a feather ( cuz its made of down ) and it looks fine.

About planning your senior year, just know what you have on your schedule, brace yourself for a fierce road and keep working at it. Apply to all the AP classes, try a job if you know you can handle it, study but also have fun while studying ( it's possible - do with with a friend to learn a variety of ways to study)

And before you know it, jr year will be over. You'd find yourself totally exhausted, however you will have made quite a progress in your life and find that there is nothing to regret about.

Once someone told me that the brain can only maintain its capability to handle more and more each time around is only if the person knows his/her limitations, work a wee past it, until the he or she can get used to that level of hard work. Once that is achieved, then more workload can be added further on, piling on past what was thought to be the limit.

Just don't worry. Breathe. Relax. Take things one at a time. Like walking. Place one foot firmly on the ground before continuing with the other foot. Left. Right. Left. Right. And once you have reached your destination, look back at the path you've traveled and savor the magnificent history you have created.

Good Luck! =D

I am a high school senior. And I have no social life. Due mostly to school work. All my time is consumed by school work. When I do get some free time, I am so tired. All I wanna do is sleep. Then there is the conflicting schedule with my friends.

Having no social life in High School(Senior year) normal?
All fun I have now is school related activities. I have no life outside my school.
Any thoughts?

You only think it might be abnormal because by American society standards you should be out partying, getting into trouble, or whatever else teen-vision shows brain wash kids with. The fact of the matter is, after high school IT WONT MATTER if you hung out with friends or not..your investing torwards your future, and while their out "living it up", you;ll be living it up with a get career while their playing catch up

Is it morally acceptable to sacrifice the life of a senior citizen in order to save a child's life?

If there was a famine and the food available was so scarce, would it be natural to let the older ones go without food in order to save the younger ones?

What would you do if you had the power to decide who was getting food and who was not?


Thanks a lot.

If one looks at nature and the lessons of animals and native man. Then the answer is yes. Most tribes that live in a substance traditional culture, only survive because of the tribes offspring. Whilst the tribe needs and adheres to the teachings and wisdom of the elders, the tribe needs the strength and courage of the young men to hunt, the young girls to procreate and the cycle of life continues.
However, once too old, no teeth, slow or infirm the elderly knew that they could no longer keep up with the tribe, and feared the risk of the whole tribe's survival, so they would either be left behind or would walk away from the tribe.

However, I hope that I was never in a situation to have to decide, but yes I would make the decision, to restrict food, if it meant the survival of the young and healthy - but the caution is, how old is too old and how young is too young. What can the old offer the tribe, what benefits can the child bring or consume. All the facts would have to be taken into consideration. If the elderly can't mind the children then who hunts and gathers for the children?

How can parents help their HS senior prepare for college life?

My oldest child is going to be a HS senior this school year. I'm looking for information on what other parents have done to help their child get ready for that transition in their lives. Everything from banking, to cleaning, to doing laundry, everything that your child needed to learn in order to live on their own-even in a dorm setting. If you have some tips that have helped both you as the parent, and your child as a student, I'd love if it you could share those. If you're a current college student, I'd love to hear how much your parents help you out currently, how you guys handle issues such as spending money, going home, car issues, etc. Or, if you tried something, and it blew up in your face, please share that as well. Thank you in advance from a parent of a class of 2008 student!

Ive been out of college 2 years, and my little sis just went (rather unsuccessfully) through her first year of college. They need to know some basic life skills, balanceing a check-book, laundry, cooking small meals, the things you HAVE to be able to handle that they decided weren't important to teach in high school anymore! Start NOW on teaching how to use credit cards responsibly. My dad gave me his when I went to college but stressed that it was EMERGENCY's only...and I was to call and verify before I swiped it...lol! That kept me from goin crazy. The toughest part on me at first was the general adjustment, I went to a very small high school where my mom was a teacher and she did practically everything for me, and I got pretty bad homesick. I was tougher than my little sis tho, I stuck it out b/c I refused to go home with my tail between my legs...haha! Once that first semester was over and I got into the swing of things, I LOVED college.

One thing I think you should advise is get your child active in things. I was on the dance team in college and met a ton of people that way....it was so much easier to make friends when you had a common ground. Sororities and Fraternities are great too, they didnt offer them at my college, but had they, I would have certainly joined, once agian, to meet more people.

As far as going home and car issues, I had a car (not the best in the world, but it got me there!) and went to college about and hour and a half away so I came home most weekends (boyfriend, now husband was at home) My parents gave me an allowance every week for gas, toiletries, etc, and I got a part-time job on weekends to help out. As far as financeing it all, I got tons of scholarships from my ACT score and from things like being on the dance team. Start applying for them NOW....the sooner you get in the better. What I didn't get covered I got student loans for that I am now paying for. Some people think its awful that I basically paid for my college and my parents didnt help with that, but I'm proud of it, and they did, remember that gas money? Also, start figureing out what you need to do to get in the dorms at the colleges your child is interested in, the sooner you can get applications and deposits in, the nicer a room your child will get!

Now to tell you what NOT to do, based on my sister. My sis has always been pretty attatched to my mom, lots more so than I was. She went to a local college, but decided to stay in the dorm. within 12 hours, she was freaking out. and I mean litteral nervous breakdown, because she couldn't grasp the idea of staying away from mom. Mom bailed her out. She attended classes, but lived at home...she's not active in anything except for hanging out with high school kids, shes made this past year into a second senior year b/c my parents let her. Now they regret it. They wish they would have made her stick it out and gotten her involved in something to keep her mind off things. She doesn't have a job, she mootches off my parents, they had to take out a parent loan b/c she wouldn't do all the scholarship apps and missed out on alot of help, and hten the student loan people wouldnt give her enough $$ to cover it, its been one big expensive nightmare. shes on anti-depressants now, crazy basically. Long story short, don't go bailing them out the first time they have a hard time. It's gonna be hard on you too, but you can't always make it better for them! My sis has now put off living her life indefinetly because she now thinks she doesn't have to. My parents now would totally tell you to make them tough it out for a little bit. If it truly never gets better, then step in, but the first few weeks are tough but so is life!

Hope it helps!
