(Graduate programs) Obama Intends To Introduce Scholarships for Single Mothers

By Fred Jackson

 Single working mothers have probably the hardest job of all, in having to take care of their families on their own. A wish or a goal for many moms that has to be put on hold in order to take care of other responsibilities, is higher education. With his new administration, however, President Obama is encouraging moms to make their education a priority. Obama scholarships are giving working mothers a great chance to improve their futures.

Obama is urging working moms in particular to participate in his Scholarships for Moms program, whilst still encouraging people of all ages to seek higher education. The Scholarships for Moms program will build on the federal government’s long-standing offer of Pell grants. Pell grants are the most commonly applied for forms of aid for students going to college, and are applied for through the Free Application for Federal Student Aid, or FAFSA. The Obama administration is now making some changes to encourage more mothers to return to school.

For the Scholarships for Moms program, the biggest incentive is with the amount of money being offered. $4000 per student is the maximum amount awarded through Pell grants. That amount is increased to $5,000 for mothers who apply to the program. The goal of these grants is to allow working moms to return to school and earn a degree that allows them to better provide for their families now and in the future. The administration also envisages that by equipping mothers with skills to earn more money as working professionals will also be a stimulus to the economy. Moms can receive an education without worrying about the costs of school or having to pay back money for a loan.

In addition, a great incentive for moms considering this program is that it applies to enrollment in nearly any type of higher education institution. Four-year university courses are covered as well as smaller community college courses. You have the choice of going to a private school or a public one. An option for busy moms who can’t stay on campus is to study through online courses. The government’s Scholarships for Moms program is a comprehensive attempt to get mothers back into the classroom.

With the Obama scholarship, the worry of returning to school is removed. Working moms can earn a degree in almost any area of interest so that they are fully equipped to provide for their families. Higher education no longer needs to be an unobtainable goal or an unfulfilled wish. The Scholarships for Moms program has been designed to help create a brighter future for mothers and their children.

The Importance of Monitoring Children’s Computer Use

By Marlin Rollins

 Every parent has an anxiety attack whenever they hear a report of a missing or abducted child in the news. They pray it never happens to them and rightly so because it is a parent’s worst nightmare.

Unfortunately, teenagers do not always get that same attention or elicit the same feelings as the missing or abducted child. Teens are almost automatically considered runaways rather than missing children.

And teens that are reported as runaways do not grab people’s attention. The police do not actively search for runaways. It is not a crime to run away from home.

However, in many cases when a teen is missing a crime has been committed. By the police not actively pursuing the conditions surrounding the teen’s disappearance, the crime goes undetected and unpunished.

If some adult lures your teenager and they run away from home and you did not know they were talked into leaving, then the police will not know it either. The police will assume your teen is a runaway and will add it to all the other runaways to be on the lookout for, but will not actively pursue the case because they do not know a crime has been committed.

We all have seen Dateline NBC where they entrap guys who want to have sex with teenagers, then arrest them once they get to the rendezvous point. That’s all well and good that they are out there hunting the hunters and preying on the predators. I applaud their effort.

However, that does nothing for the teen that is considered a runaway because no one knows she or he met someone on the Internet who talked them into running away from home.

The time has come for every parent who has a teenager who uses a computer to start monitoring his or her activities. Teens will scream about their privacy, but you need to know that if they do run away from home that they were lured away.

You need to know and the police need to know because if they were talked into leaving by an adult, then a crime has been committed and the police can put more resources into finding them.

There is software that will allow you to not only block your children and teenagers from accessing inappropriate content on the web, it will also log everything your child or teen does on the computer so you have a record. That record includes online chatroom conversations, email, instant messaging, and websites visited.

The software will even send you a message on your cell phone or to your email whenever your child or teen accesses inappropriate content.

You cannot afford to let your child or teenager decide for themselves what is or is not ok to do on the web. The predators are smarter than they are no matter what they tell you. Your teenager may be smarter than you may when it comes to the computer, but you know what is or is not good for them when it comes to their safety.

Do not be intimidated if you do not know a lot about computers. Do not let that be your excuse for not monitoring your children and teenagers. In the footer of this article you will find resources that can help you monitor everyone who uses your computer. I recommend you start doing it today before IU have to go out and search for your runaway or lured-away teen.
