Different Diplomas, Different Requirements

Image
Even though I've known that there are three different types of diplomas offer, generally, I never really been told by school staff the requirements for each diploma; I only figured out the requirements when I googled it. however, today I finally got a sheet with all the requirements for getting a regents or advanced regents diploma. the major difference between a regents and advanced regents diploma is the foreign language section.

Another robot followed cockroaches and did what they did, eventually till it was recognized as one of them.

Dr. Collignon, one of the researches, believes this is a step towards animals becoming more useful towards human society. Some new uses that could be introduced is that small animals can be used to explore dangerous environments that humans cannot go into such as a collaps...

Today at school, we had another work based learning workshop and this time it was mainly focused on job safety. We started off by watching a tragic video of a new report on a young man who died because he got sucked into a wood chipper. This was meant to scare us and to let us know job safety is to be taken seriously. Then as a detour in the presentation a representative from Future and Options came to inform us about the internship opportunity and career program opportunity which was relevant to the students in attendance, including myself, because a requirement for the class was to have an internship. The internship was for the summer and it was a paid internship which meant if we got accepted then the program would pay us 13 dollars per hour. The college program was a series of college workshops that is to help us with learning more information on the college applications and the steps needed to be taken. Afterwards, we went back to job safety and discussed the rights we have while ...
