What year is best to be an exchange student for someone studying to be a lawyer?
I’m going into my sophomore year of high school and have plans to go into law. It is also really important to me to be an exchange student, preferably in a country with a native language other than English. I think it is important for someone who hopes to practice law to be able to experience the world outside of the United States, to be able to broaden my views and perspectives. I’m wondering both “Which year would be recommended to go?” And “where would you recommend?” #July20 #law #lawyer #exchange-student #lawyers #students #student #college #colleges #study #July #July2020

Majors alike oceanography, and where to find them.
I am a rising senior and am interested in oceanography. I have not been able to find many colleges that have this major. Should I look outside of the U.S.? Or is there another major that I should use in my search? I am leaning more toward the chemical side, but also want to look into the geological and biological side of it. #oceanography #july20
How did you stay positive when writing about touchy topics?
I have yet to publish any of my writings because of fear of rejects. I find it hard to see my own writing as good or with a good topics. For example, the story I'm currently writing deals with the controversial idea of "Black Self-hatred". I'm also planning on writing about another controversial idea that deals with Christianity. Having my first stories be so controversial isn't really motivating me to turn my writing hobby into a career because I fear the type of backlash I would get. #writing #stories #book #controversial #july20 How do you work around the fear of backlash in order to create stories?
What are ways to keep children learning in a non-academic setting, especially while quarantining?
With school being online, children being in daycare, the lack of summer camps, clubs, and other activities, it's becoming harder to help children continue to learn in a fun way. Many students, including myself, have found it difficult to learn from online classes: the material just doesn't stick. I'm currently working in a after/before school program that is possibly being transferred into an online program. Because of this, many of the activities I had plan had to be scrapped as they require us to meet in person. The activities that run through my brain right now seem like busy work or have is obviously a learning experience and may not be fun. What are some fun ways you've engaged students that kept them learning? #children #help #education #teacher #school #JULY20
I'm thinking I want to study something more technical at university next fall. How do I narrow it down?
I am undecided, so whenever I start describing what I want, it usually seems to me like "engineering", which I know is a broad topic. How do I pick a more specific subsection of engineering or even know if that's right for me? Can somebody explain what jobs you do with any sort of engineering degree or what you learn with it? And does anyone have a good method that they used for figuring out what they wanted to study? #JULY20 #undecided #engineering #university
In a world where passion has been overtaken by gluttony, what do you think is important while finalizing a career choice, money or passion?
Being a indecisive person myself, how can I ensure I take calculated risks in a career I'm passionate about and acquire financial stability and independence. The bitter truth about my career choice is it's low income and I would like to have a perfect work life balance, so how can I make money and still persue my passion, or should I place one over the other? This is a general question and is open for all, regardless of career. I would like to hear different viewpoints and experiences of individuals. #JULY20 #life
