Apologies for boring Teh Box, but I'm not turning down good free advice.

In the fall of 1996 at a high school in New Jersey, more than one thousand students sat in classrooms listening to various teachers expound on the customary array of high school subjects. Only one out of those one thousand students, however, looked up at his US History I teacher and thought to himself, “That is what I want to do”. My name is Copa, and that moment is in part why I am seeking admission to the Master of Science in Teaching program in the K-12 Social Studies track and writing this essay. Now, nearly fourteen years later after a few bumps in the road, a nontraditional path to a baccalaureate degree, and six-plus years of service to my country, I have come to realize that my role in life is to act on that original inspiration and become the best teacher of Social Studies that I can possibly be. Admission to :rolleyes: University makes that goal achievable.

You have a special routing when you call :-:

Do LH miles melt in your mouth and not in your hand?

I just read this post on non-refundable tickets: http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/9674698-post51.html and still am a bit :confused: as to what to do.

Here are the details:

I bought my sister a non-refundable ticket to LAS and she wasn't able to make it due to some medical :rolleyes:. I spoke to the elite line and they said they would waive the $150 change fee and she would be able to rebook travel with the full ticket value. The two issues are that 1) the ticket is non-transferable and 2) she doesn't travel often

What's my best course of action here? Thanks in advance!

:rolleyes:

I think you're right. It sounds like an el plato answers the phone.

:p

Mine are answered by "El Pato." :-:

CO is show 0 availability on YYZ-SCL. I am pissed.

How many duckies do they have? I like the ones they tweeted about yesterday!!

Possible suggested revisions:

No changes.

Picky point, but in the first sentence you state that there are "more than one thousand students." Now you simply say "those one thousand students." Which is it?

Two suggestions:

1. Change "in part" to "one reason"; and

2. Delete the phase "and writing this essay." To me, it seems out of place and overly wordy. Furthermore, it is surplusage, given that you are writing the essay presumably because you are seeking admission to the program.

If you don't do the first change, at least put commas before the word "in" and after the word "part."

Personal point, but I'd change "my country" to "this country." (Unless your service was not given to the United States of America)

Also, consider changing "the best teacher of Social Studies that . . " to "the best Social Studies teacher that . . ." Likewise, consider changing "I have come to realize that . . ." to "I have realized that . . ."

No changes.

YYZ-SCL is a tough one for redemptions. I've rarely seen it available.

! Job opening in NJ :-::-:

I don't know. I've only got Futbol Ducky and two of the regular yellow ones. I've also seen :rolleyes:v's photo of Spa Ducky.

No other real choice, CO was x2.5 the price, at least *G and the miles should help-besides it's only about 1.5 hours total

BNA-mini do?
I get in on Monday, out on Friday, Have no idea where I'm staying. Co-worker is making those plans, soon as I know more will get back to ya'll
