Answer by Lori
Call the office that issued the juror summons – usually the clerk’s office. Explain that you are a student and cannot afford to miss classes. Ask to be excused from jury duty, and if they agree, ask if they could confirm it in writing. You may also offer to be put back into the juror pool in the summer, or the next time you are home/classes are not in session.

Question by Young Black Smart: What would you grade this expostory essay i wrote should i shorten it?
Good things happened to those that wait Nonsense good things go to those that chase.

I am going to teach you about something I’ve mastered the art of making money I will teach you how to make money fast and make it last! Now before you read forward I need you to say “Everything I know about money is wrong” Believe me when I tell you I know more “tricks” to making money I am not talking about the cereal. I strongly believe if you can count your money by hand it’s not enough. You can’t make money being a good guy and following rules you must bend the rules and twist the rules. Bill gates the wealthiest man in the world(and soon to be second) stole various ideas from the rival company of Microsoft Apple but bills had other effects to Microsoft not only does Microsoft have what apple but more. Bill gate is a marketing genius his products has all the effects of apple and more and are the same price. Which one would you buy its obvious? How could a guy who didn’t finish collage become the richest person in the world (and soon to be second). How could Shawn Carter (formally known as jay z) become extremely wealth once again a person who did not go to college and grew up poor he created something out of nothing. So how could people who did not graduate from college and even some junior high school dropouts become so wealthy? Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune. Also they have mastered and implemented these proven techniques and now I will share them with you. I will teach you how to successfully run a business. Here are some tips Create Something out of nothing, create a realistic business plan stick to it, Work Like A Slave Eat Like A King , Never stop looking for the best deals on products and buy low and sell high.

Something out of nothing

Fob a clothing company started in a basement but now is a multimillion dollar company. The people who created the clothing line didn’t have a lot of money but they took what they had and made something from nothing. The company was created by 5 neighbor friends living in queens New York the largest projects in the world. The company then became popular amongst queen New York and it became bigger. The 5 neighborhood friends who never thought they would grow this big did. How did they do this? They took what they had their expertise and made something out of it. If you are a great drawers draw and auction your pictures if you are a good writer sell your writings even if you have a basketball goal in your backyard charged to get on the court you will gain enough money eventually to extend your idea. If are a goodstudent and understand an subject you can teach offer to help a student in return of money. Once you gain enough you can even start your own tutoring company. Got a big screen get some movies charge people to come in your house to watch them. Go to a used bike store bikes cost about 5 dollars fix them up make them look better and they will sell for any more. Once you make a profit invest half of it back in your business. Is it snowing? Shove snow? Good with computers teach the elderly mow lawns, wash cars, baby sit, and as soon as you make enough money washing cars you can buy more supplies hire your staff and send them to different areas to wash. Let them keep 25 percent of the money they made and you take the rest, you can do the same for shoving snow mowing lawns etc. Once you gain enough money you can expand your small company always looking for ways to make money you must be an opportunist, you must be a persuading, if you want to be wealthy.

•Create An Idea
•Expand on it
• Hire employees(optional)
•Launch it
•Advertise (business cards)
•Go find costumers
•Sell your products
• Be polite To Consumers give them two business cards one for a friends and for themselves

Nothing will come to you, you must go out and get it this is serious good things go to those that wait is a lazy philosophy and it truly disgust me. Nobody can be successful unless he loves his work and put in work second place is the first losers place.

Read your competitors like a book constantly think of new ideas to receive more costumers everywhere you go bring out business cards .Go to the bookstore and place business cards in books that relate to your business. Put a banner on your car put it work and you will eat like a king.

•Put in work
•Eat like a king

Follow these proven methods and you will see results

D or so at this time but can be improved:
I think you are trying to stuff too many things into the essay so it doesn’t flow very well. Maybe do an outline on what you want to say first. It should flow but right now I can’t figure out what one paragraph has to do with the other let alone within each paragraph. For example, your fist paragraph starts about teaching people how to make money then you talk about Bill Gates and Shawn Carter dropping out of school, then other stuff.
Instead of doing a business 101 in an essay, pick the part you can elaborate on more. What stands out most when reading is creating a business out of an idea. Use that but stick to the subject without going off on other things or it sounds a bit “flighty”.

You need to make sure you have a period after each complete sentence. You are missing a bunch of comma’s.

Leave out personal opinions like “that disgusts me” and unproven accusations.

FYI: The cliche “Good things happened to those that wait” is a reference to patience – not sitting and doing nothing.

I think you can turn this into an A or B paper if you do an outline first, don’t try to cover too many things in a short essay, make your story connect from one point to the next, and stay focused on your topic. The point you keep coming back to is taking and idea or dream and make a business out of it. Stick to those examples because the other examples don’t hit that message.

Why doesn’t government stop spending money on college scholarships and promote jobs instead?

Question by Lever: Why doesn’t government stop spending money on college scholarships and promote jobs instead?
Instead of giving millions and millions of dollars for students to pay for college costs, when it’s not even guaranteed that the college students will get a job, why not have government encourage business growth through tax breaks and incentives? This helps everybody, including college graduates.

Question by : How to find a job at 20yrs old and very little experience?
I have only had a job for a few months and then the store closed. I am a junior in college and never felt the urgency to find a job because all of the money I was receiving from scholarships. I also wasn’t able to get my car until I was 18. Now I’m 20 going on 21 and can’t seem to find a job anywhere and have no friends or any family to help me with references or networking. How should I go about finding a job since I’m out of ideas.

Would this transcript work for the good student insurance?

Question by : Would this transcript work for the good student insurance?
Ive transferred to a different school since this January of 2011. I have been doing well with getting a GPA above a 3.0, let alone a 3.45 cumulative GPA and even made the deans list at my previous school. I also have done more then 12 units there as well.

Yet since transferring I admit that I have floundered with a GPA below 3.0. My first quarter, I was not familiar with the workload and studying that was involved and took time. Second quarter, I had picked up fortunately yet it still remains below a 3.0 unfortunately. I am planning on getting better and picking myself up in the upcoming fall quarter and two so hopefully my grades will be better.

But since my parents ask for the good students insurance on my insurance, Im screwed. I am afraid that I will be in trouble if my parents find out, especially my GPA from the school Im currently attending. Instead of sending my transcript from my current school, would it work if I send my previous colleges transcript to them? Other then the discount they will find out, will they likely find out which schools transcript I sent to them? Are they going to verify?
Sorry I mean good student discount on the car insurance to be more specific.
Its not that my previous college transcript has any forgery to it or anything. And fortunately through email, the agent is interested in the transcript and not the ID as far as I know.

Answer by bengali
I’m 90% sure they’ll verify. I wanted to include my son under my insurance and I had to send the insurance company(Amica) his transcript and his student ID. But every company do it differently, so I say ask the company if they’re gonna verify. Tell them ur gonna have to notify the school or they won’t release your information to them or something.

Have you tried applying for scholarships? Your local library should have a book full of sources for scholarships. If you can’t raise the $ 30,000 you need for WVU, I would suggest you attend a local junior college or community college to take the courses for your freshman and sophomore years.

How can I buy a street bike with no credit? –CLICK if you ride a motorcycle!?

Question by WAHOO: How can I buy a street bike with no credit? –CLICK if you ride a motorcycle!?
I want to get an 08 or newer yamaha r6.I have a part time job making a little over minimum wage and I am going to start stripping a few nights a month. I am almost 19 and would like my parents not to know about the job, but if they find out, whatever. So pretty much I am trying to figure out how I can manage this on my own. I have no credit, but I am responsible. Also I have a clean driving record and am on good student discount for insurance on my car.

What would payments look like for a 8-10,000 bike?
Also what would full coverage insurance be like (approx) a month?

Best answer:

Answer by Dogbettor
You need to strip more, gather all the singles you can and put a large down payment. Yamaha was once the easiest bike credit grantor but with the economy bad they’ve tightened up some. I think $ 3000 down might get you done. Talk to your audience and prompt them to cough up the 5s and 10s. Ones are so passe. This is 2010 !!
