Not to mention, it's police operated, and you can't get a better referance than that.
Similar maybe...the price of my course was subsidised a little, as was my equipment. In this country, you can also recieve ongoing payments (something called austudy) while studying to assist you in general living and expenses. The more you work yourself, the less these payments become, they endorse actually earning it, and as it helps with my skills, I don't mind doing a night or two per week at my college restaurant, sure, I could work more, but I'd rather actually focus on my studies more...and having the oppertunity to do so is great, something I will rightfully use to my advantage.
Very respectable...nobodys race should completely pave their way, and I'm against attitudes to the contrary...just because I'm not part of a minority myself, does not mean that I can't see there's always two sides to things, and two kinds of people, of ANY race.

We have a similar version of austudy. Heh, It's rather boringly called work study.
What I really wanted to say, also, is that you need to hook us up with some Cheebacheeba recipes, even if they're works in progress. A lot of us that can cook, could test them out...give you feedback...get it...feedback...ahem.
