Name: Julia Rosetti
Email: n1950215@droid.fit.qut.edu.au
Location: Brisbane, Australia
Age: 18
Sex: Female
Drugs: No
Alcohol: No
Sports/ Activities: I used to do a lot of ballet and stage work, my ambition was to be a professional
dancer before I got sick. Nowadays I love to read, and other stuff like that, as well as spending a lot of
time with my family and friends.
Grades: I finished high school last year, and I haven't started college because I've been sick. But I got
subject prizes in three subjects and high as in the rest.
Favorite Subject: I loved Music, English, History and Biology. Hard to pick a favorite - they're all so
different.
Volunteer Work: It all depends on what you call "volunteer". Nothing really official, but I spend a lot
of my time working and playing with really sick kids, and they come to me for advice a lot.
What My Future Goals Are: I'd either like to go on to do stage work, or work with kids with serious
illnesses. I haven't decided which, yet.
What I do in My Spare Time: Talk to my friends and my family. Hang around with my hospital friends. Watch TV. Go to the movies when I can. I love going on picnics and other outdoorsy stuff.
How I'd Change the World: No question. Cure cancer. Eradicate it forever.
Largest Problem: Sometimes, I think it's having too many choices, and having too many expectations
and others having too many expectations of you. And all the implications (牵连) of this.
Why Would I Make a Good Counselor (顾问): I really want to help other people. I've made that my
life's ambition, to help as many people as I can.
Qualifications: I spend a lot of time doing this sort of stuff "unofficially" - I am the Discussion Manager
on a discussion list for seriously ill young people. People also write to me because of my homepage,
often wanting advice, which I try to give them.

| Adults are often surprised by how well they remember something they learned as children but have never practised in the meantime. A man who has not had an opportunity to go swimming for years can 1 swim as well as ever when he gets back in the water. He can get on a bicycle after several decades and still 2 away. A mother who has not 3 the words for years can teach her daughter the poem that begins "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" or recite the story of Cinderella or Snow White. One explanation is the law of overlearning, which can be stated as follows: 4 we have learned something, additional learning increases the 5 of time we will remember it. In childhood, we usually continue to practise such skills as swimming, bicycle riding long after we have learned them. We continue to listen to and 6 ourselves of poems such as "Twinkle, twinkle, little star" and childhood tales such as Cinderella or Snow White. We not only learn but 7 . The law of overlearning explains why cramming (突击学习) for an examination, 8 it may result in a passing grade, is not a 9 way to learn a school course. By cramming, a student may learn the subject well enough to get by on the examination, but he is likely soon to forget almost everything he learned. A little overlearning; 10 , is usually a good investment toward the future. | ||||

| You probably have lists of remember and steps to follow in order to have the best pet-friendly trip. There are, however, a few things that are best left at home. Here are a few things to forget when you're traveling with pets. Forgetting them will make your trip run more smoothly and more effectively. Time Traveling with pets will take longer and will have unexpected turns. In reality, forgetting about time means leaving impatience behind. Don't be in a rush. Your pets will require more extra stops than you will, and they'll often surprise you with unpredictable delays. Plan on leaving early and arriving later and you'll be right on time. Anger Getting angry at the delay will only make matters worse. Your feelings can add unnecessary stresses to you and your pets' travel experience. If you feel yourself becoming out of control, stop and take a deep breath. Your pets have little control over their emotions, bowel movements, or motion sickness when traveling. Remember to be kind and understanding at all times, especially when under pressure. Work Attitude This may seem like a no-brainer, but when you are traveling, leave your work attitude behind. Traveling is not a task to be accomplished; it can be an enjoyable and memorable experience for both you and your pets as long as you have the right attitude. Control Part of the joy of traveling with pets is dealing with the unexpected. You can't control everything and trying to do so will only end in frustration (挫败) and anger. Knowing that things will happen beyond your control will bring great relief to you and your pets. Messes happen; accidents happen. Once you accept that, traveling with your pets will be far easier to manage. Selfishness Traveling with pets often requires an extreme amount of selflessness. Your pets rely on you to take care of their needs, and sometimes you will need to put their needs before your own. Leave your selfish bitions behind when traveling with your pets. They need your attention and care more than anything else because of the stresses and strains of traveling. Traveling with pets can and will be a joy if you remember to leave these five items behind. It can be difficult at times to handle, but the traveling will go well if you can manage to do so. | |||||||||||||||||
