Formalize Your Approach To Problem Solving
There are those one or two people in an organization that are known as excellent problem solvers. It is not always clear why, and chances are they may not even know themselves why they are as good at it as they are. This is because they probably possess a certain combination of skills that make them particularly good at this job.

Loophole out of the Madness
Stereotypically, “adulting right” consists of a lot of bare-minimum, seemingly just-average days being our most chaotic where we itch and claw at the insides of our heads to escape out. I find myself seriously impaired - as if an unknown force is stirring life this way or that, barking such a loud commotion until I’ve found even the most basic of things that should provide comfort, are hassles just to figure out and follow through on. It isn’t hard to recognize the number one battle in young adults today will always boil down to: income stability, a maintained mental health, and on top of those, finding a way to contribute to the world in a meaningful way (all the while trying to find a joy through these processes). “So what, huh?” you may ask, when it’s so easy to point out obvious struggles - without providing much more to it than that. This however is my first effort to provide more to it than that; this is a letter is to my young adults of any age range that can relate. I truly believe there is a set of standards that has not been so easily provided to us through written lessons, but just as easily, is out there, and does seem to offer a set of standards for life if we lived by we could find joy through the mundane. By no means do I aim to take shot at any functioning members of society by discrediting hard work when hard work is apparent, or to discredit anyone’s choice in life, or will I be discussing any specific faith as I think we all have our own welded ideas that won’t leave our brains - let me share with you my theory, based on my story, on a loophole out of the madness.

Student's success is teacher's success
Last year around this time I was so lugubrious. I received the news that Kealy Bannon took up English Literature as her major in college. Kealy was the best of the batch. She was the eighth student of mine to take up a non-STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics) major. I have nothing against humanities. In fact, reading fiction is one of my favorite pastimes. I am also part of the poetry club of our locality. My major issue here was that I would not have a contribution to the higher education and career of these students. Who am I? I am a robotics and technology teacher. I teach New York Public School students robotics and technology.

Dad's Hierarchy of Needs
I know that it's almost 6 AM, because my cat Tracy is purring loudly and shoving her head against my shoulder. I make the sweet little girl wait until my watch buzzes at exactly 6:00, but she is almost as punctual as my wake-up alarm. She darts between my feet as I carefully step to the kitchen and place her breakfast in her bowl.

Because You Don’t Want Me To Be Good, I Will Be Great
There is a certain characteristic trait about those who are living at a lower level of consciousness. And that trait is universal among all of them. It is a bit interesting and disconcerting how so many people have a low-level consciousness behave and act.

Mabast King: The Journey of a Small-Town Boy to the Big Road of Success
“Dream big, stay positive, work hard and enjoy the journey.” The above-mentioned quote could very well be considered the motto of the young YouTuber’s career and life. This old saying must have had some value because it has been true for extraordinary people, coming from an ordinary background. The journey of Mabast King is one such story of a young boy, hailing from a not so famous town but through his hard work, dedication and passion reached the height of global and international fame.

Life as a food service worker
It’s always the after effects I think. I mean the place is filled with beauty, but the after effects of the work place is my fulfillment. When I was hired to work in food service at the hospital, I was thrilled. I mean, there was this beautiful eight hour orientation in a greenhouse type room. All of the new hires watched the presentation projector closely, because we knew a test would be given shortly after. I became so excited when I learned the hospital I was working for, was ranked number one for some of the surgeries they performed worldwide. I was honored to be given a chance to be in such a prestigious place. Shortly after orientation, I was issued a badge, I mean a real work badge. The first day of work, I swiped my badge and went through the door. I passed the receptionist desk and went up the elevator to the second floor. When I entered the bagel shop it was so busy and high volume on my first day, I immediately offered assistance to my co- workers. On my first day, I hung around stations asking my co-workers question like, do you need me to slice bagels? Brew coffees? Pass out orders? Do you need me to work at the cash register? After months and then years, I shifted from a frontline cashier in the bagel shop, to a cafeteria floater and a sandwich maker. I began to love the outcomes or after effects I say, of the cafeteria, after closing. The beautiful fully stocked soda coolers. The freshly stocked milk, and yogurt coolers. Beautiful ripe banana baskets filled to the brim at every cashier stations. Fully stocked potato chips on the shelves. Sub sandwiches with visible pricing. The after effects of a high volume cafeteria is what moves me when I work. I gain so much satisfaction after closing. There is also crazy satisfaction at the bagel shop. Once the sandwich line is put back together, it resembles a beautiful garden on one side and a whipping section filled with cream cheeses and cheddar cheeses on the other side. I love the fresh, beautiful lettuce and juicy red tomatoes.
