What do you want to be when you grow up was the question that my generation (1970s/80s babies) was asked. Do you want to be a teacher, doctor, firefighter, or even a dancer (By the way, I was obsessed with the TV series Fame and Debbie Allen!)?

The Bull and the Baby
My father suffered a severe spinal injury when I was only five years old. It would be almost three years before he would walk without the aid of special made shoes with big steel braces that came up to just below the knee and strapped to his leg. Even then, it wasn’t that he didn’t need them, he just refused to wear them any longer. He walked with a cane to steady himself and learned to get along very well. My father knew his limitations but never looked at himself as a cripple.

How Can a Student Apply for a Personal Loan?
A personal loan is touted as one of the best ways to get funds in times of need. And this is the truth because it stands as one of the loans that could be granted by the lenders with or without collateral from the borrowers. However, when this loan comes without collateral, lenders try to make up for the security they fail to get from the collateral by looking at the credit history of the borrower and setting the interest rate accordingly. This makes it one of the loans with the highest interest rates. Students are among those that will always need money for different reasons, and because most of them cannot lay their hands on any collateral to present for the loans, this becomes one of the best options to consider.

Why I Decided to Change Careers
If you asked me a year ago if I still enjoyed my current job, I would have told you "NO." For the past eight years (since April 2011), I have been an Early Childhood Educator. Since starting my career as an ECE, I have worked in three different centres. The first one was in a big centre inside of a school, the second one started out in basement suites and eventually moved into a residential commercial space. My last daycare was in a house where I worked mostly by myself.
