Selena Hammel's blog

Ok I took the S A T in early June 08 and I was just able to check out my scores online but I dont really know what they mean!!!

Ok so I've written blogs about books before and about how old classics are just not very interesting but books about gosisp are more interesting to me. Well my opinion has changed again!

My Parents got divorced when I was ten years old. Before that my parents would fight a lot. Basically every time they were in the same room together they were fighting. My mom worked every weekday from eight am to five pm my whole life. My dad was around more when I was younger. He never really had a stable job.

I'm a junior in higschool and I am so ready to go to college. I'm ready to get out of this town, start my life, further my education, become independant etc. The idea of college has been the only thing that has gotten me through these past few years. I live in Washington state and I would love love love to go to San Diego State University in California.

Definitions of Progress:

Evolutionary progress, the idea that there is a largest-scale trend in evolution of organisms and that the trend is toward improvement.

Scientific progress, the idea that science increases its problem solving ability through the application of some scientific method.

Social progress, process in which societies or individuals become better.

For the past year I've been trying to read a lot of books that are pre college books or just plain old classic books that in general you should just read but some of them are just so boring. I got a Gossip Girl book and a William Faulner book and I've read like the first 15 pages of the Faulkner book and have already finished the Gossip Girl book.

I've had an acoount on Fastweb(a scholarship site for those of you who dont know) and have only been able to apply for 12 scholarships. And I havent recieved any of them. I'm only a high school junior but still I dont feel like I'm doing enough. Will I be able to apply for more scholarships as a senior? Is there other sites like Fastweb(or even better)?

What is family?
