Being as an 8th grade student, and the year coming to an end, comes time to reflect on the times you've had as a middle-schooler. No longer will you be treated like 'young adults.' Now we face the real world as independent high-schoolers.

As a social worker working with homeless families, I can say that hope is a word that does not exist in the vocabulary of the majority of the families I work with. Granted, these families may have just cause to feel hopeless. They are without shelter, security, a place to just brush their teeth and do life. They may be struggling with domestic violence, disability, foreclosure and a myriad of hopeless situations. I often ask myself, "What can I possibly do to turn hopelessness into hopefulness?"
Family, Hope, Life, Social Work in Family Life Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at 4:23PM MAD21 There is a whole lot of advice out there these days about how to survive in today's fallen economy. Some really good, some not so good at all. Sell everything and freak out? Not such a good idea. Calmly look at your financial portfolio and decide on short and long-term goals? Pretty good advice.

Quest For Compassion is a great site sponsored by Compassion International that is ideal for kids.
It is designed for kids ages 6-10 (but of course some of us are kids at heart). It is a great way to learn about Compassion as well as giving them a perspective of what a child's life in the developing world may be like. I think you will find it engaging and entertaining.

Fortunately most of us have not had to experience the horror of someone taking the life of someone we love, which to me is probably the worst thing that could ever happen. But for those who have,
