i wanna fly?

From your posting I gather that you are still very young. I would advice you to do this: Hang around airfields, especially if they have ultralights and/or homebuilt small aircraft under the Sport Pilot license. Get a hike in one of those planes, get a feeling of it and if you like it so much, […]

From your posting I gather that you are still very young. I would advice you to do this: Hang around airfields, especially if they have ultralights and/or homebuilt small aircraft under the Sport Pilot license. Get a hike in one of those planes, get a feeling of it and if you like it so much, get a few lessons with an instructor.
My point is: If you like to fly, as I do, it doesn’t matter the type of aircraft; it’s the real pleasure of being ‘up there,’ the beautiful nature experience to be like a bird. Then, with time, you can see if you want to become professional.
I am 60 years old and fly my very little Kitfox aircraft as much as I can. And when I am at the airfield alone, I always check if someone want to sit in my right-hand seat. I am sure you will find such pilots (and younger ones! at an airfield near you. Good luck.

Is public elementary school lunch good or bad for kids?

Well, as a teacher, I have to tell you I avoid walking past the lunchroom at my school because of the smell of the food. I believe most school lunches are very high in fat, salt, carbs and other undesireables. The law says they have to meet a certain nutritional requirement, so I suppose in theory they are healthy, but then, they are only nutritionally balanced if the kids are eating everything offered to them. Most kids throw away the fruits, veggies or anything else healthy, but they load up on the mac and cheese, pizza, etc. LOL - my students all bring their uneaten (still wrapped in cellophane) salads to our class guinea pigs - there is always WAY too much salad for the guinea pigs to eat!

Personally, I think I would pack a lunch for my child. I honestly think that Peanut Butter and Jelly on whole wheat is healthier than school mac and cheese. If I wanted my child to eat healthy, I wouldn’t count on the school to feed completely healthy meals….I’d take that responsibility myself. Besides, most kids say that school lunch passes as food, but it really doesn’t taste that good - my students groan in the morning most days when they hear what the school lunch will be…then they chat with each other about how gross that food is…
