Please help, i will miss 2 years of school and i dont know what to do with my life?
I have been living in Norway for about 1 year now, and that 1 year i went to a school that barely taught me any norwegian, so my norwegian is pretty bad. And i appplied for my 10th grade class (i would have been in the 11th if i was still in Canada, but im still in the 10th because i needed to learn norwegian), and now i wil lhave to go to anotehr school to teach me norwegian so i will miss 1 more year, so when i am supposed to be in gr.12, i will be in the 10th. So pretty much, i need backup plans. What could be ideas to make a stable living without completely relying on too much school? I play guitar so i plan to form a band and just sell albums and make some money off that, and i also plan to buy a house in the city centre and open a Metal music cafe/clothing shop, and i use to be an extra in comercials, so i may try that again. Would those ideas be good? And is there anything else i could try to do to make a decent living?

You are still young don't panic. How about the military? There are also many options in both Norway and Canada and plenty of people/programs that can hrlp you.
2 :
i would get off the computer and get a job than go back to school
3 :
Stay in school. Where are your parents?

if you sell albums, it means you are famous. so I think its very hard to become famous. and those who are famous, are just very lucky. dont think of this dream too much. my opinion: if you wanna be famous, you have to face the fact that you might never succeed. otherwise it will hurt and you will push things too far. but if you wanna be famous, you need a job, so you can support yourself, pay an agent and everything else. or at least you will need a job, if you never become famous, so you dont waste time and you can have money all this time. I think that almost every singer that is now a star, used to work a lot before they become famous, like kelly clarkson. she was working anywhere she could, so she could afford everything. if you have money, then a Metal music cafe/clothing shop is perfectly okay. but you have to know how to run it, so you wont fail. if nothing works, then just find a nice job.

Think you're paying at the pump?
This chart is from CNN's website. Gas prices around the world (in US dollars per gallon). Pretty astonishing collection of data: Gasoline prices in the United States, which have recently hit record highs, are actually much lower than in many countries. Drivers in some European cities, like Amsterdam and Oslo, are paying nearly 3 times more than those in the U.S. The main factor in price disparities between countries is government policy, according to AirInc, a company that tracks the cost of living in various places around the world. Many European nations tax gasoline heavily, with taxes making up as much as 75 percent of the cost of a gallon of gasoline, said a spokesperson for AirInc. Netherlands Amsterdam $6.48 Norway Oslo $6.27 Italy Milan $5.96 Denmark Copenhagen $5.93 Belgium Brussels $5.91 Sweden Stockholm $5.80 United Kingdom London $5.79 Germany Frankfurt $5.57 France Paris $5.54 Portugal Lisbon $5.35 Hungary Budapest $4.94 Luxembourg $4.82 Croatia Zagreb $4.81 Ireland Dublin $4.78 Switzerland Geneva $4.74 Spain Madrid $4.55 Japan Tokyo $4.24 Czech Republic Prague $4.19 Romania Bucharest $4.09 Andorra $4.08 Estonia Tallinn $3.62 Bulgaria Sofia $3.52 Brazil Brasilia $3.12 Cuba Havana $3.03 Taiwan Taipei $2.84 Lebanon Beirut $2.63 South Africa Johannesburg $2.62 Nicaragua Managua $2.61 Panama Panama City $2.19 Russia Moscow $2.10 Puerto Rico San Juan $1.74 Saudi Arabia Riyadh $0.91 Kuwait Kuwait City $0.78 Egypt Cairo $0.65 Nigeria Lagos $0.38 Venezuela Caracas $0.12 In a few Latin America and Middle-East nations, such as Venezuela and Saudi Arabia, oil is produced by a government-owned company and local gasoline prices are kept low as a benefit to the nation's citizens, he said.

The wacko european countries end up forcing people to take public transportation and make everyone lived in crowed, rat-raced cities because the governments keep the price of gasoline so high. And, it destroys the economies of small towns by making it hard for people to travel.
2 :
Yes...we are paying at the pumps. We have the ability to produce our own oil, but for some reason there are people in congress who won't let us get it (I'm looking in the Democrats direction).
3 :
Man has the intelligence and mechanical technology and capabilities to invent (and it has been invented) vehicles that burn on natural solar energy, and the reason this hasn't been brought to fruition is because there is no money to be made and money is the reason we stay trapped in using gas for our cars.

Right, but almost all these countries have comprehensive public transportation systems which are inexpensive and run frequently and reliably. The cities are also constructed much more closely together and in smaller areas, unlike the US, which makes walking and biking much more feasible. A few decades ago, GM illegally purchased all the mass transit systems in the US and systematically shut them down so that people would be forced to buy their cars. That's when our real problems started! GM was slapped with an anti-trust lawsuit but the people responsible were only charged a few dollars each; the entire corporation was fined $1,000.

FWIW, US gas prices have not yet hit a higher record then that from the early 70's, in inflation-adjusted dollars.

Why is there concrete on the ground?
Why is there concrete on the ground?
Hi, I have been traveling trough many cities before, but when I went to places like Thailand & Norway I saw huge areas of land that had no buildings or parking lots, no concrete at all (not even wooden boards, gravel or nothing!) I am not sure what an area like this is called, so I will name it gigantic-park and it had some beautiful things to look at. Why can we not have more gigantic-parks around? I am sure that we can make a effective public transport system with modern technology that goes together with nature. They could make it free and people would not need their cars. Humans could live in gigantic-parks and work with nature, not for power, money and personal gain.

why not, thats like asking why stop hitler or why go to the moon. you gotta think about these things

Because they are a 3rd world country and can not afford to keep their countries.

Because it won't hold in the air. The Romans tried but it just kept falling to the ground, so there it stayed.

Parks are nice, but I don't like walking in mud when I'm going to the store so sidewalks are a necessity.

Someone Read my essay and crtique it...?
Born in 1901 Florence South Carolina, William H. Johnson grew up in a poor family of seven being the eldest child. Without any money and Johnson was limited to the skills that were hidden within him. Johnson at an early age discovered that he had strong abilities to draw. Using these drawing skills to his advantage he started to create penning cartoons for local newspapers. With the help of this and a variety of jobs, he was able to save enough money to pay for the art education program at the Prestigious National Academy of Design in New York City, where he moved at the age of seventeen in 1921. His teacher Charles Harthorne helped Johnson throughout his years and helped him get into the Cape Cod School of Art in Provincetown, Massachusetts during the summers of 1923 to 1926 where he graduated. Johnson did not have the supporting type of family when growing up. His mother was black with a Sioux ancestry and his father was white. His father had never supported him in his life, and was not looking forward to the goals he had. Johnson had never given up, winning the Cannon prize in 1924 and 1926 and the Hallgarten prize in 1925. In 1926 Johnson moved to France in search of a better life with more Opportunities. There he met a weaver; Holcha Krake in 1930, before marrying her, Johnson went to South Carolina. In South Carolina he was thrown in jail, because he painted a brothel known to him only as the Jacobia Hotel. Returning to Denmark he married and lived with Krake for the next eight years in rural areas of Denmark and Norway. During these years he sold paintings until he was employed as a mural painter for the WPA. While employed he learned art techniques such as silkscreening. Some of his paintings were silkscreening, like the Going to Church, Jitterbugs, and the Street Musicians. Some of his other works are oil on canvas and oil on board paintings, such as Minnie, Landscape with the sun, and Lamentation. During World War II he moved back to New York City to get away from Nazism. Johnson moved back to New York just to find himself in even more problems. Interracial marriages and the horrid depression were obstacles to live with. During his time in New York City, Johnson taught at the Harlem Community art Center around 1940. In 1944 his beloved wife Holcha died from breast cancer. Following Krake’s death, Johnson was deteriorating. He spent twenty-three years of his life in a state hospital in Long Island, New York. Johnson died April 1970 due to physical and mental health problems. William Henry Johnson was a well educated man. He went through thick and thin during his years of life. He lived a hard childhood, but managed to make it through during his teen and adult years. His great fortune was not money, but his creativity and ability to draw. Johnson was one of the greatest artists during the Harlem Renaissance period.

It is an excellent story. I would suggest that you slow it down somewhat and make clearer breaks between topics. You might break it into more paragraphs. The conclusion worked well for me. It summarized the story well without duplicating detail. I am not a writer but the painting names should have quotes or something. If you are preparing the document in Word, they have a grammar feature that gives readability statistics. I have personally found it to be helpful. Good luck!
