When a 17 year old male turns 18 they are required to enlist in the selective service system by law.  In order to get financial aid for studies at a college or university males need to sign up to the selective service system within 30 days from his 18 birthday.

The selective service system is also used for student loans, grants, job training, federal employment, and naturalization.  If a male fails to register, he will not be eligible to receive benefits that are part of being enlisted in the selective service. 

Women are excluded from the selective service because they are excluded from combat.  So if your an 18 year old male planning to get financial aid or job training, REMEMBER to sign up within 30 of your 18th birthday.

One of the things we simply can't put up with is harassment of any kind, sexual, physical or mental.   Every person has the right to feel safe and secure, on the street, at school, at a job, at home, anywhere. 

Harassment can cause many psychological and emotional harm, whether its a "harmless" tease or accidental.  Be aware aware of your actions and behaviors, consideration is key.  There are different types of harassment that can occur between co-workers, classmates, strangers and

family:

• Racial
• Bullying
• Stalking
• Sexual
• Job
• Internet

The life of a college student can be hectic, with work, school and possibly volunteer, life can become a jumbled mess.  If your stuck in a similar situation, you don't have to sacrifice any of the extra activities you do in your normal life, you just have to learn how to put everything together.

One thing you can do is get yourself an agenda so you can write down important dates, such as:  quizzes, midterms, finals, assignments, and work schedule so  you will be able to refer to it to remind you of the task you need to complete. 

Depending on your classes and what time you need to attend school, you can look for a job that fits your schedule, whether its everyday or only specific days, you can also fit in activities such as exercise time, or a hobbie, or even save yourself a day of study and homework, so you don't have to stress about having time to do school work.

It is out of our hands who we meet in life, someone who'd become our best friend or someone who we cannot stand to be a room with.  The only tool we have to deal with this is professionalism and work ethics.  Always remember that honesty is key, which includes work ethics, behavior, respect, communication, and interactions with other co-workers.

All of these components can lead us towards success and it can also help us achieve a lot of goals we want to accomplish for example if we provide a great environment to our fellow co-workers and we can work well in teams, then we can also look like a good role model to our employer. This can lead to better work ethics and better recommendations in the future when we decide to to transition to another job in another field, allowing you more opportunities.

You might be gaining skills and experiences from others without you even noticing it!

This can give you advantages over others, personally and professionally.  Maintaining a good relationship can lead to long term  friendship, referrals to jobs and opportunities.  Not very many teenagers or youth adults know what it means to work hard, ethics and responsibility. 

On the other hand if you show that you're experienced, honest, hard working, and most of all reliable and that your appreciating the opportunity that your given, you look responsible and most important mature, compared to other workers trying to get hired, this benefits you, since your employer wouldn't want to loose an employer that brings in good hard work with good attitude. 

As a teenager or a young adult, by having good work ethics, you can achieve or earn successful opportunities.This can make you have a great impact in your life.

Ever get stuck in on a research project, no ideas, no inspiration, no direction for what you want to do?

Probably everybody has gone through the same situation before.  However, not very many realize that there are tools that can make  this daunting task, simple.

1. Give yourself enough time to do research, finding useful articles, journals, or books will make the task of writing a research paper that much easier. 

2. Avoid using Wikipedia as a source of information, at the same time, Wikipedia is can be used for ideas and jump start your research path. 

3. Ask the librarian to give you some advice for free databases that may have information you can use, or how to utilize the library search to find books that relate to your topic.

4. Lastly, when in doubt, ask someone for help.  Clarification, restatement or the mere fact of hearing someone else explain the task to you may help you understand the prompt or directions clearly.
