Miracles of Website Development Outsourcing
Well, if you do not want to make a fool out of yourself, you should be bothered about your website. In the world of online marketing today, merely owning a website will not make it for the cut. Web development is a robust space, and you simply cannot afford to slack off.

I, Animator
I rarely say I'm an Animator. I say that I animate or that I do animation, but I rarely claim the title of Animator. I should, I suppose. People hire me to animate their music videos, company promotions, poems, etc. I get paid for what I do. But I never set out to be an animator. It wasn’t my dream since I was a kid and I have no formal training. Everything I’ve learned to do, I’ve taught myself. And sometimes it shows…

Youth Development
Almost two decades ago I started working in the youth development field as a counselor during the summer. I worked with school aged youth in Caton Park. I never knew it would become a career I was passionate about. Growing up in a house full of kids and being the older one, I had to assume responsibility over my younger family members. Because of my upbringing, being in this field felt right. As I progressed I began to love it more and more. However, the more passionate I became the more obstacles I faced. It became painfully obvious, after a few years of working in this field, that it was business as usual. Numbers to show funders were more important than the efficiency of the work being done. The politics of business had invaded a field founded on empathy and advocacy.

My Library Doesn't Support Indie Authors
I remember going to the library at least once every week when I was younger. I would walk out with an armful of books. I participated in every summer reading program, and the librarian knew me by name. I devoured Goosebumps, The Babysitter's Club, and the Sweet Valley Twins before growing too old for them, and moving on to other works of fiction. I stopped going to the library as much when I moved, but the library still shaped me into the book lover that I am today. When I started to take writing seriously, I knew I wanted my books in the library. I would picture myself going to the library for events and book signings. I saw pictures of other authors in their libraries, smiling and holding their books. I pictured myself doing the same, beaming from ear to ear while meeting new readers. I was under the impression that the library would be supportive of indie authors, so I googled my local library and noticed a lack of author events. I thought that was strange, but decided to reach out to the library. I was shocked to find that while some libraries are supportive of self published authors, the one nearest to me is not.

This I Believe
I believe in kids. I believe that kids can teach us some valuable lessons, whether or not they intended to. They can impact us and challenge us to think differently. Kids teach us that not everything has to be so complex, that life can be simple. They are always honest about their opinions. If they do not want to do something like a certain craft, they will tell you. Or if they will tell you if they like you or not. Kids also show others how to live a carefree life, and not worry about every single detail. Kids also have a great imagination, and dream big whenever they think about the future. All kids believe that they can make it to a major league sports team, or become the president of the country. Whatever it is that the child wants to do, they will go out of their way to do it, or at least have a lot of knowledge about the subject. These are just a few things kids teach older people, rather the other way around.
