Woman's pants locked for 12 years
FOR 12 years, a man reportedly locked his girlfriend's pants shut with a "chastity belt" each morning in fear that she would be unfaithful.Dr. Pete “Doc” Chambers and a small group sat around a table tonight rewatching this dance of death. We don’t know what to make of it. Doc has some medical observations — maybe I should ask him to make a video explaining. I will see Doc again tomorrow.
Some alleged victims of the death vaxxes die suddenly in similar, strange ways. Turning in circles, about three times, looking skyward as if they are seeing something. Notice the clenched hands and similar arm movements. Sometimes appearing to fight, as if fighting back some demon only seen by them.
The entire incredible video by Stew Peters is attached.
You really must see this. Share it. Discuss it. Rip it apart with facts, if you can. A mass death event is unfolding even while zombies march for more vaxxes. Industrial strength brainwashing means death doctors.
Israel heavily vaccinated. Bibi lead the way.  Bibi has done to Israel what Hezbollah, Hamas, Nazis, and more…could only dream of. Evil has been perpetrated.
It’s an excellent documentary, I’m a veteran nurse, in my profession 54 yrs. I’ve followed closely since Nov 2019 and watched my profession and healthcare industry change before my own eyes. It’s astoundingly evil what we’re dealing with here. Right away I looked close at my relationship with God and Jesus as I knew I wouldn’t make it without them. Then I started prepping like crazy. It comes down to 300 lbs per person of rice, beans, flour, etc per year, not including water. Start there and pass this on to everyone you can think of. It’s just the tip of the iceberg.
So true and an excellent documentary. Bibi and unfortunately Donald J. Trump both rushed in with big Pharma on some very bad advice (maybe in Trump's case from his son-in-law) but neither have admitted a mistake nor apologized though millions are and will be adversely affected.I'm going to tell you a story about the last year of my life, and hopefully this will not only answer your question but give you some motivation as well, because I was in the same position as you a year ago and I came to realize some very important things. Sorry if it's a little long, I just think it would be good for you to read.

When there's something that you want, you can either find a way to obtain it, or you can find an excuse not to. It is really that simple. You can either use your low GPA as an excuse not to seek the life you desire, or as motivation to become something great so that people will be willing to bend rules to accommodate you.

A year ago, I was sitting in exactly your position, I was a brilliant accounting student, having received all A's, but I had slacked off in my other classes (they were just boring to me) and had something like a 2.5 overall GPA. All of my friends were obsessed with getting big four jobs, and were like worried that their 3.6 GPA's weren't going to be high enough since they had heard rumors that you need a 3.9 to get hired. It was discouraging, and I couldn't help but think if my friends are worried about getting hired with 3.6's then I had absolutely no chance with a 2.5. I couldn't even go to the on campus interviews with the big 4 because you needed a 3.0 to even register. (Also did I mention that I had spent time in jail, so my chances of getting hired really weren't looking too good.)

So here I was, beginning of my senior year, no job prospects, not sure what I wanted to do, not even getting interviewed while all my friends did their big four rounds. But I was really good at accounting, I knew I had a passion for it, and I knew that I was smarter and would make better asset to a company than every single person in my classes that I saw going through this process. It would have been really easy to get discouraged, to want to give up, but I was lucky, because I had people in my life who gave me incredible advice, and I was able to realize something very important. 

I had a bad GPA, that was something that I couldn't change, but what I could change was how I let that fact affect me. It would have been easy to be worried about it, to be afraid to apply for things, to not even bother trying and just settle for something easy that I didn't really want to do. But instead, I decided that I was going to double down. That I was going to try so hard, that my GPA would become irrelevant, that I was going to figure out a way to make someone say "You have to hire this kid, I don't care what his GPA is". I was going to find the person who made the rule that you needed a 3.0 to attend on campus interviews, and I was going to make them change it, to make an exception for me. Instead of sitting lazily in the distance and hating on a system where GPA defines you, I was going to fight to my dying breath convincing the world that despite my GPA I was the best accounting student in the country, and that I was someone worth changing the rules to accommodate.

So I started by going to one of my accounting professors and asking for help, accounting professors are great resources as they are normally very well networked with local internships and she understood from my performance in her class that I was a talented student and agreed to forward my resume along. I went to the library that night and spent the entire night revising my resume, making it perfect. I could write a whole separate essay on how to make great resumes, and how even if you have no experience that is not an excuse for not putting together a great resume for an accounting job. Through my teacher I got an interview for a paid internship at the PCAOB, something that I knew was the perfect opportunity for me, but was also incredibly competitive. 

So here it is, here's the answer to your question about GPA. I had spent a lot of my fall semester learning about programming. It was something that I also really enjoyed, and that I knew would be important for my life. It is such an incredible skill to have, to understand the languages that computers operate in. It allows you to create things that help people and make their lives easier, thus making you a valuable asset. I had it written on my resume that I knew PHP, MySQL and VBA etc. When I went to interview at the PCA
