Ralph Waldo Emerson. Henry David Thoreau. Voltaire. what do these three great men have in common? They're very well known in the world of Literature not only as accomplished poets, writers, but more importantly, very talented and effective essayists.

.

A person can always start creating custom essays, but he / she has to follow some guidelines. Here are the selected guidelines in deciding custom essay topics.

1. Have a personal overview experience to support similar topic that describes something of personal importance in your life.
2. If you are planning for a topic which is a gimmick or just to make it funny, you have to be very careful. It is strongly recommended not to do this because it is not appreciated by the admissions committee and this is done poorly. The result may become not funny or not laughable nor amusing at all when it is intended for readers to laugh, to have fun or to get amused.
3. Choose a topic that the information listed won’t repeat elsewhere in your application. Do not mention in your essay the standardized test scores or GPAs.
4. Always choose an essay topic which you can offer vivid supporting paragraphs with concrete examples.
5. To write a topic on custom essay, make sure that you have the knowledge and the experience of that specific topic and not just to impress the readers with shallow topic. If they’re going to asked you, you are really sure that you can fully answer their question.
6. Keep the readers get interested from the first word. Also, the whole essay must be interesting for the committee will have only few minutes to read the essay.
7. An overdone topic is not a bad thing. Having a unique and convincing answer to a classic topic is really a hit.
8. Write a topic that a large number of people won’t be turnoff. Don’t stick to topics like religion, political parties or a topic which has pros and cons. You can write custom essays with the topic how it influences your life and why it was right or wrong.
9. In presenting a topic that is very controversial, you should acknowledge counter arguments so as not to sound very arrogant.
10. In writing  custom essays, take a topic that would be remembered by admissions officer even though they have read hundreds of essays.

Reading step one gives you now the idea on how to write your custom essays. Asking opinions from friends, teachers and colleagues, you must have at least 1-2 interesting topics to write.

Home Economics Program for Malnutrition

Tabuk City, Kalinga (18 October) -- The Department of Education (DepEd) in the province, in partnership with Bethesda Ministries International (BMI) recently held a joint activity integrating their programs to better address malnourishment and to improve the health conditions of public school children in the province.

Bolstering the Gulayan sa Paaralan (Vegetable Gardens in School), a project component of the Programang Agrikultura Para Sa Masa of the Arroyo Administration to fight hunger and poverty, DepEd Kalinga in cooperation Department of Agriculture Bureau of Plant Industry, conducted a two-day training on Organic Plant Production for all elementary and high schools in the province.

This is to provide educators the needed skills on organic vegetable production and provide them a venue to discuss the implementation and sustainability of the program in their respective schools.

With elementary and high school children appreciating the program and armed with the skill in vegetable production, they will learn to be self-sufficient and in their own way help alleviate hunger in the family, Deped officials say.

Integrating this program in their home economics subjects will also promote better appreciation among school children and students the importance of proper nutrition and the nutritional and economic value of planting vegetables in school and at home.

Jointly with the activity is the launching of the Bethesda HAPAG-ASA Vitameal Feeding Program, an integrated feeding program sponsored by the Bethesda Ministries International, Inc. where DepEd Kalinga Feeding Program Coordinator, Julia Bateg said that the project will benefit around 4,513 undernourished pupils in the province who were identified based on their height and weight status.

"To correct the nutritional status of our undernourished children, they will undergo supplemental feeding with the provision of vitameal everyday for 120 days, five days a week," she said.

Said vitameal supplement contains multi-vitamin fortified rice and lentil pack formulated to provide the ideal therapeutic food solution for malnourished children to regain back their ideal health status saving them from starvation and give them hope for a productive life and future.

She underscored that the school administration should closely monitor the project implementation to ensure that proper procedures are being followed and for them to assess the impacts of the feeding program.

Bateg said that parents also play a vital role in the implementation saying "they have to actively participate in the process where they will be undergo health and nutrition classes and will be taught how to properly cook the vitameal which must be mixed with other nutritional ingredients."

She said that the common procedure for using vitameal is to mix one part vitameal to eight parts of water soaking it for two hours, then cooked for 15 to 30 minutes mixing it with other ingredients.

"This can be eaten as viand or as a snack," she said.

Each pack of vitameal mixed with other food she informed could feed 130 pupils in one feeding.

This provision from the Bethseda she informed is the first shipment from the organization saying that with proper implementation, DepEd Kalinga will be expecting more to totally address malnourishment in the province which is identified as one of the food poor areas in the country.

"We are looking forward for more feeding programs in partnership with Bethesda International. Based on our proposal we are targeting at least 4,000 or 50 pupils per school in the province for this school year," she said.

During the event, BMI Executive Director Donald Soriano headed the turn-over of the around 500 vitameal boxes to Deped Kalinga and 100 boxes for Apayao. (ggd/PIA-Kalinga)
