Which has more to do for a teenager and a family?
Which do you like better and why?

West Los Angeles Area….near the Getty Museum

Better place for a Asian/White mixed couple..I’m Filipina/Hawaiian and my Husband is white, blonde hair/green eyes. We are both in our mid-thirty’s with a three year old son. We will be relocating from Southern California after the holidays. Our Budget is 320-350k max price for a new home. We looked at both areas last weekend and are having a very tough time deciding on what’s the best choice for us. Sugar land has so much to offer but the homes in Cinco Ranch are so nice for the price and all the great amenities..My husband is a analyst and will be working in the galleria area, I am a RN who will be working off hours at the medical center. So I guess we would love to hear from families who currently live in both areas and get their feeling on how they like living there. We know that both areas have excellent schools and are very safe, what about daycare facilities? Overall quality of life, outdoor activities, retail and restaurants in the area..drive times etc. Are there any other Filipinos living in Cinco?? Love to get every-ones feedback. Thanks in Advance!!

My husband and I are thinking (very much) about moving to the Phoenix area of Arizona. We have visited there, but have some questions about living there. What are the best suburbs to live? Surprise? Chandler? Gilbert? etc.. Also, who is the best home builder? We have looked at Taylor Morrison, Richmond America, KB homes, Maracay homes on line, but not sure about the quality of each. We do not want to live in Scottsdale as the price of homes are higher than we would like and we may as well stay in Southern California if we were to look there, lol. We do not have any children yet, but will be starting a family soon , so we don’t really have to be close to night life or lots of bars.

We have looked at a few answers on here and most that we’ve seen favor Chandler for raising a family? What do you think about this?

We, for sure, want an area that has access to good shopping and restaurants. Hope this is not to broad of a question and look forward to your thoughts! thanks! =)

Describe the world you come from — for example, your family, community or school — and tell us how your world has shaped your dreams and aspirations.

I would come exhausted, wanting nothing more than a cold glass of water and a nice cool shower. At the age of the twelve I no longer yearned for many material objects a kid my age would desire. A the age of twelve my innocence was extinguished by the act of work. My families financial situation enabled my father to start selling oranges door to door. This in my mind was violating city ordinances, but when I advised him of such, he responded with a very solid and cheerful “so”?. Although I was never forced to engage in my fathers attempt of entrepreneurship, I felt the need of doing so. I was no longer a simple twelve year old, to my mom I was precocious, very hard working, and someone who cared for the family’s well being.
My step father and I were routinely occupied in purchasing the oranges at five in the morning at the Los Angeles Food Distribution Center. It was crucial to be at the locality no later than five, since anything later would interfere with our desire to purchase the best oranges. Selling approximately seven hundred oranges every Saturday proved to be a challenge. A challenge I had to endure for the sake of my family’s financial well being. This challenge took me over periods of embarrassment when I would come along a friends home, or when I heard from inside of a home the angry yell of someone stating “Read the no solicitor sign on the door”. I grew tired and the southern California sun was adding frustration to my embarrassment.
Although, these feeling of frustration and embarrassment were expected from a pre teen, I never allowed for these feeling to take over. I was clearly aware of the hard lived situations my family had gone through, we were unable to tour Disneyland or even go out to a restaurant like many of my friends at the time bragged about. At the age of twelve my life experiences had proved to me that if I wanted anything in life, I would have to work for it and positivism would play a great role in my desire in acquiring anything I longed for.
As a child I did not understand how this experience was shaping my character. Indirectly I was learning the misfortunes of my community who by not having acquired a higher education was limited in working a blue collar job. I was directly learning that my life had a better future and that although I loved my family, ultimately I did not want to inherit their lifestyle. Being aware of their hardships and burdens to try and makes end meet, motivated me to form a financially secure future.
As I matured I developed myself into a capable young adult, who understood the importance of balancing studies and leadership. It was now my job to supersede the assumed future, predestined to my community. My studies and my leadership involvement around my city depicted a picture I had not been previously exposed to, a picture of success, every type of success physically, financially and emotionally. A success I yearned to make mine, by adding to my curriculum AP classes and to my resume governmental recognitions, paid internships and active leadership roles.
The experience in my childhood indirectly taught me to strive for hard work and dedication. I appreciate the financial circumstances I underwent and still going through, since for they have motivated me to inspire my younger siblings to make every effort to acquire a higher education. Selling oranges has shaped my dream to crave a higher education, a career in human activism, defending a cause not yet know to me, to be involved with the public, who unfortunately have limited dreams, and most importantly a limited voice. So I can facilitate their voice to be heard, someone who like those with limited voice was predestined to a dysfunctional past, a present with no goals, and a future with no vision. Someone who worked a young age, only to figure out how adequate he truly is.

I will be moving with my 12 year old daughter and my 4 year old son. I would really like apt rental quotes. For a three bedroom I suppose. Also, what are utilities like?
Thanks

The Cheesecake Factory in my city in Southern California (MDR) has been putting up a bunch of ads on Craigslist saying that they’re hiring servers for months now. I really need a job so I’m interested in applying. You have to go in person and ask for an application. I’ve never been a server in that big of a restaurant before but I have a great memory and I’m willing to learn and do whatever is necessary to become great at the job. Does anyone have any tips when it comes to applying here and getting the job? I really seriously need work so this would be amazing. I know the training is supposed to be hard but I’m more than confident that I could do well at that. I’m kind of a bigger girl, overweight not obese, just a bigger build, strong, I was a soccer player for years. A friend of mine said they might look at me and not like that but I’m not sure.. Should I dress nicely when I go in to fill out the application? Is there a certain time of day that is best? I just don’t want to mess this up.
