I used to think that people who managed to get into the top universities must be very smart but a few months ago, I discovered that there are people who utilize companies that provide college admission essays to secure a place in the university. I would not say that they are not smart but they are not taking any chances in giving themselves a better head start by getting into a top university and then work harder from there.

I did not know that top universities only accept the top ten percent of qualified applicants. Boy, that sure is competitive and can we blame these students for finding ways to get in?

Just now, I was told to check out a website of a company that offers college admission essays at http://www.admissionsessays.com/college.html. They offer two kinds of services; writing the essay or revising the essay.

Of course, they charge fees according to how fast you want your essay done, the faster you want it, the more expensive it becomes but they also offer bulk discount so it is a good idea to get a few friends together to qualify for a bulk discount of up to 30% off regular prices.

Do you think that you want to use a service like that or will you slog out your college admission essay by yourself? What happens if you are not able to secure a place in a top university just because of ONE essay?

I remember a long time ago, I wrote about how a good set of teeth and a perfect smile can boost our confidence. I have seen the difference in a friend of mine who one day decided that he has had enough of not being able to smile or laugh without attracting stares. Yes, he had a problem with his gums.

Finding a dentist that you can trust for cosmetic dental rework takes a little research. I was just at the website of “Find The Right Dentist” where they have a database of cosmetic dentists no matter the procedure. Whether you are looking for a New York dentist or a Mission Viejo dentist, you will find him here on this site.

There is a long article on the site where they guide us on how to search for a Mission Viejo dentist. Of course, they are using Mission Viejo dentist as an example only and we can adopt the same guidelines n our search for a local cosmetics dental surgeon too.

A good set of teeth will make a world of difference to your self confidence. If you know you need something done to your teeth, then go ahead and do it. It will be worth every penny. Even if you have no need for a dental rework, remember to visit your dentist at least once every six months.

My friend, Paul, is always telling me that I can be whatever and whoever I want to be. He knows that I have a slight chip on my shoulder for not being able to complete my college education due to financial difficulties back then. And I think that is true because I see so many people accomplishing much more in life with worst set backs then me.

This morning, I was told that Tubus Racing Team will be taking on the challenge of Dakar 2009, if everything goes as plan. I have always been interested in Swedish affairs because my friend, Carey, is half Swedish now by marriage!

Most of us do not know that the driver of Tubus Racing, Pelle Wallentheim, is a cancer survivor and the fact that he is now taking on Dakar is a real motivation to all of us and shows us that we can take on anything that is thrown at us in life and come out tops. Some of you may know that I lost a friend to cancer not too long ago and it brings tears to my eyes to know that there are people who survive cancer. I will definitely be cheering for Tubus Racing Team come Dakar 2009!

Check out their ride, which is sponsored by Isuzu who will also be sponsoring the team in Dakar 2009. In fact, Tubus Racing Team is the only Swedish team to receive sponsorship. I guess the sponsors do see their talent and determination! Both Pelle Wallentheim and his co-driver, Olle Ohlsson, have twenty years experience in motor sports competition and Dakar 2009 will be a good avenue for them to test their skills and experience.

The paint job is sponsored by Jotun as you can see from their website. I was told that we could vote for the paint job but I could not find it anywhere on their website or blog. So for now, let’s just admire the car.
