I wish things were different...

Students' thoughts, feelings and inspiration...

I wish we had a better world

A world without war

If only there were peace and equality

People would live without fear.



I wish people hadn´t died

Because of diseases and lack of food

If only we had a better economy

To save people from this destiny.                                                                                         Adriana Jesus

 

 

 

 

If only I knew what occurred, I would know what's happening
I wish they knew I'm a fighter and they are breakable.

I wish I could reflect their image in order to show them the meaning of miserable.

If only I had enjoyed my old life, I would know how to do it now.

I wish I had taught you how to die, so that you could teach me how to live.

José Daniel

I wish I were still a kid,

no broken heart,

no painful tears,

only a wounded knee...

and a mom's kiss to make everything okay.

Cláudia Andrade



Peace

If only the world would know the definition of peace,

Without military police,

Just look at the capital of Greece,

It is falling piece by piece!

Day by day, society is changing

We need to try to encourage rearranging our attitudes,

In order to be one day more peaceful and thankful.

Daniel Everlien Berardo

You think you have to want more than you need

So I wish we wouldn't need to have it all to be free

Margarida Freitas

Ebony and Ivory

At the simplest level, the song is about the ebony (black) and ivory (white) keys on a piano, but also deals with integration and racial harmony on a deeper level. The title was inspired by McCartney hearing Spike Milligan say "black notes, white notes, and you need to play the two to make harmony folks!"

Paul McCartney & Stevie Wonder make a beautiful statement about trust, love, respect, understanding and education that we are more alike than meets the skin!

Ebony and Ivory

Live together in perfect harmony

Side by side on my piano keyboard

Oh Lord, why don't we ?

 

We all know that people are the same

wherever you go

There's good and bad in everyone

We learn to live, we learn to give each other

What we need to survive

Together alive

 

Ebony and Ivory

Live together in perfect harmony


Side by side on my piano keyboard


Oh Lord, why don't we ?


Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony


Ebony, Ivory, ooh


We all know that people are the same


wherever you go


There's good and bad in everyone


We learn to live, we learn to give each other


What we need to survive


Together alive


Ebony and Ivory


Live together in perfect harmony


Side by side on my piano keyboard


Oh Lord, why don't we ?


Side by side on my piano keyboard


Oh Lord, why don't we ?

 Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony


Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony


Ebony, Ivory, living in perfect harmony...

Cover letters

All cover letters should:


Explain why you are sending a resume.

Don't send a resume without a cover letter.

Don't make the reader guess what you are asking for; be specific

Tell specifically how you learned about the position or the organization — a flyer posted in your department, a web site, a family friend who works at the organization. It is appropriate to mention the name of someone who suggested that you write.

Convince the reader to look at your resume.

The cover letter will be seen first.

Therefore, it must be very well written and targeted to that employer.

Call attention to elements of your background — education, leadership, experience — that are relevant to a position you are seeking. Be as specific as possible, using examples.

Reflect your attitude, personality, motivation, enthusiasm, and communication skills.

Indicate what you will do to follow-up.

Sample cover letter format guidelines:


(Hard copy: sender address and contact info at top. Your address and the date can be left-justified, or centered.)

Your Street Address

City, State Zip Code

Telephone Number

E-mail Address


Month, Day, Year

 Mr./Ms./Dr. FirstName LastName

Title

Name of Organization

Street or P. O. Box Address

City, State Zip Code

Dear Mr./Ms./Dr. LastName:

Opening paragraph: State why you are writing; how you learned of the organization or position, and basic information about yourself.

2nd paragraph: Tell why you are interested in the employer or type of work the employer does (Simply stating that you are interested does not tell why, and can sound like a form letter). Demonstrate that you know enough about the employer or position to relate your background to the employer or position. Mention specific qualifications which make you a good fit for the employer’s needs. (Focus on what you can do for the employer, not what the employer can do for you.) This is an opportunity to explain in more detail relevant items in your resume. Refer to the fact that your resume is enclosed. Mention other enclosures if such are required to apply for a position.

3rd paragraph: Indicate that you would like the opportunity to interview for a position or to talk with the employer to learn more about their opportunities or hiring plans. State what you will do to follow up, such as telephone the employer within two weeks. If you will be in the employer’s location and could offer to schedule a visit, indicate when. State that you would be glad to provide the employer with any additional information needed. Thank the employer for her/his consideration.

Sincerely,

 (Your handwritten signature [on hard copy])

 Your name typed

(In case of e-mail, your full contact info appears below your printed name [instead of at the top, as for hard copy], and of course there is no handwritten signature)

Enclosure(s) (refers to resume, etc.)

(Note: the contents of your letter might best be arranged into four paragraphs. Consider what you need to say and use good writing style. See the following examples for variations in organization and layout.)

Child labour

An estimated 158 million children aged 5-14 are engaged in child labour - one in six children in the world. Millions of children are engaged in hazardous situations or conditions, such as working in mines, working with chemicals and pesticides in agriculture or working with dangerous machinery. They are everywhere but invisible, toiling as domestic servants in homes, labouring behind the walls of workshops, hidden from view in plantations.

■In Sub-Saharan Africa around one in three children are engaged in child labour, representing 69 million children.

■In South Asia, another 44 million are engaged in child labour.

■The latest national estimates for this indicator are reported in Table 9 (Child Protection) of UNICEF's annual publication The State of the World's Children.

Children living in the poorest households and in rural areas are most likely to be engaged in child labour. Those burdened with household chores are overwhelmingly girls. Millions of girls who work as domestic servants are especially vulnerable to exploitation and abuse.

Labour often interferes with children’s education. Ensuring that all children go to school and that their education is of good quality are keys to preventing child labour.
