A quick definition of personal guardian:

A personal guardian is someone who is chosen by a court to take care of a child or someone who can't make decisions for themselves. The guardian has the power to make choices about where the person lives, what medical treatment they get, and other important things in their life. This person is also called the "Guardian of the Person." Sometimes, there is also a "Guardian of the Estate" who takes care of the person's money and property.

A more thorough explanation:

A personal guardian is someone who is appointed by a court to take care of a person who is either a minor or legally incompetent. This person has the authority to make personal decisions for the ward, such as where they live, what medical treatment they receive, and other social aspects of their life.

For example, in Florida, a personal guardian can:

  • Determine the ward's residence
  • Consent to medical and mental health treatment
  • Make decisions about the ward's social environment or other social aspects of their life

Personal guardians are also known as "Guardians of the Person." It's important to note that there is also a "Guardian of the Estate," who is responsible for controlling the ward's property and finances. These two roles can be filled by the same person or different people.

For instance, if a child's parents pass away, a personal guardian may be appointed by the court to take care of the child's personal needs, such as where they live and what medical treatment they receive. This ensures that the child is taken care of and their best interests are protected.

@NemoPropheta: mine was on a chill team so i had a good time, but apple works like a bunch of little companies that report to the same ppl so its a little isolating if you're not in the same office/don't go out much. i didn't take RO to intern again

@Sex-Drive: we have entirely different living standards if you think 60k is "hardly anything to live off of:"
i make around that in a hcol area and feel like im balling out while saving over 20% of my income
@Sex-Drive: Seconding what Windy's saying. I live in a LCOL and I'm fully able to support myself and my family on my paycheck alone. $60k in a HCOL while single was living check to check.

What did they even post?
probably calling me an anti-hispanic slur
if I want to transfer to nyu is it better to go to washu or cardozo
(also why does nyu accept so many transfers from brooklyn lmao, what other t125 will let you transfer that high)
15:07
transferring is grades dependent so "better" is a little weird to define - a lot of ppl don't want to give up schollys/networks for ranking purposes. that being said im going to dozo and hoping for a nyu transfer lol
15:08
i think they take a lot from brooklyn just by the nature of being a nyc school. 3 out of 15 transfers out of cardozo went to nyu last year which is technically a good sign but you'd consider that the rate of ppl at washu wanting to move to nyc and pay sticker after a year is probably lower than the rate of ppl at nyc schools who want to
15:09
i dont really know how important it is to be median vs 75th of transfer gpa but id imagine keeping a B+/A- average is pretty hard in 1L and easier said than done
