Education & Employment: It's OK to need Help

As a member of society, I have noticed that times have changed. I understand that resources are available for students today, and I took advantage of these resources as a student myself. But the real question is: how accessible are these resources?

According to recent studies conducted by the National Center for Education Statistics, the high school drop out rate for students between the ages of 15-24 have increased over the past decade, due to what students call: non-interesting classes.

Because students feel that the material they are learning is absolutely redundant from year-to-year, they don't see the need to reorganize learned material and use it to their advantage during the upcoming school year.

I believe that students need to realize that higher education is a privilege! Not everyone can successfully complete high school and go on to college. There are many negative influences that can harp on a person's ability to seek a greater education including, but not limited to, not understanding life, family issues, financial instability, etc.

With that being said, I have come up with a way to help those students in dire need of assistance. It's every blue moon that a young adult can come on the internet and get honest help from someone who has been in there shoes.

INTRODUCING...
MISS BUILDING BLOCKS TUTORING

Tutoring is available in just about every high school course there is; from Algebra to Zoology. And if there are any questions that I can not answer for you, I will be sure to direct you to someone who can. This service is absolutely FREE for those students who would like to invest in their future!

To sign up for free tutoring services, you can subscribe to my blog and comment on this post. Or you can visit Miss Building Blocks at missbuildingblocks@yahoo.com!

Why Building Blocks?

First and foremost, I feel the urgent need to introduce myself and my reason for starting Building Blocks.

I am a 20-year old college student residing in the state of Michigan. Because I am just beginning, I currently only have access to resources in the state of Michigan, but will eventually venture out to access information for those of you in neighboring states. I have been compelled to believe that young people need me! Not per se, but as a guide... as a mentor... as a go-between.

Building Blocks, as stated before, is a blog for young people between the ages of 13-18. On this site young people will not find solutions, they will find GUIDANCE.

So that my viewers can better understand my site, I will break down for you the blocks that I believe need to be built in order to evolve into a responsible adult.

Here's the Building Blocks that this site is built around (P.E.A.R.L).

♥ P-ursuit of Happiness
♥ E-ducation & Employment
♥ A-dvancement
♥ R-elationships
♥ L-ife Issues

Each day of the week will build on a different block, in no particular order.

My site is aimed towards those individuals who are interested in making an investment in their future (not only financially, but emotionally and physically as well).

They are implemented into each post, on a weekly basis. They are structured to provide the most insight into what I believe is the problem for most young adults: inaccessibility to the resources that should be available to them!

At Miss Building Blocks, I am dedicated to providing the most up-to-date, reliable information pertaining to, but not limited to:

• Finding Scholarships and Grants
• Resume Tips
• Time Management
• Relationship Advice
• Establishing Credit
• Greek Life
• Tutoring
• THE LIST GOES ON

I would like to thank you for visiting, encourage you to subscribe and tell all of your friends, and check out my biweekly polls at the bottom of my page! I hope that this information is useful to all of you!
