Equipping you with the tools you need to succeed.
My Non-Profit
I talked to my co-leader yesterday since I’ve decided nobody is truly in charge yet except the both of us, and we both decided I work on the business plan, she works on finding a suitable third-in-command for our organization. I came up with a name for the said organization, and that is “We Help,” because we are intent on helping people with chronic illnesses/disabilities that make it hard to get away from families whether the family is abusive or stable. For starters, I as a leader need a job that can do that for me, by making a stable income.

Reach Out
High School: a four year period in everyone's life that will always be memorable for better or worse. We all remember the overcrowded halls filled with faces you've watched change and age. However what we didn’t see was each person’s own set of baggage they carry each and every day. You have the popular blonde holding the neglect of her oh too busy parents in her Michael Kors tote. Then there's the shy freshman carrying the weight of the world in a hand-me-down North Face. Let's not forget about the pressure to be perfect weighing down the senior football player’s Nike duffel. During those four crucial years it feels like everything will always be this way, whether it’s good or bad. Now wouldn't it be helpful as a 14-18-year-old carrying so much baggage to have someone help lift it? To have someone there for you when it feels like no matter how hard you try, you just can’t win.

Chronicles of a ULL Student - Mini Series
Like everyone in high school I knew that college was going to be no joke. Just how serious, I had no way of knowing. First, let's start from when was looking into all the colleges I could go to. They had the same fun flair, some more serious than others, but most had the impression that they had the downtime for students to not always feel the pressure of massive amounts of debt and studying weighing so heavily on them. This way it'll just be that little voice in your head that you can ignore for a couple hours.

My Life After High School
You know, I’m not ready to be an adult. I wish there was a way to time travel back to when I was a kid. By junior and senior year everyone always told me that I should get prepared for college and to be ready for adulthood, but I put it off because I thought I had time. Now it’s here and I’m just making it. Adjusting to life after high school is definitely different for everyone, but I’m going to tell you about mine. Right now I’m in college about 170 miles away from my house and I’m struggling between missing my family, friends and dog and trying to keep up with my college classes, homework and having some relaxation time.

The High Cost of Managing Without Flexibility
This is an article about a story that seems to repeat itself almost every day in the 24/7/365, social media-oriented culture that we live in today. Yes, it's an embarrassing, "gotcha" moment—and in this case, it is McDonald's in the crosshairs of people from around the world. Yesterday, it may have been Starbucks and what happened in their Philadelphia location involving two black men who chose one of their locations for a business meeting that led to a corporate crisis, both in terms of public relations and internally with their employees (see below).
