Disabled People Need Money
Disabled people need money just like everybody else. Some of us are fairly functional and can handle working. I’m applying as a cook at a chain restaurant. The open interviews are today. My knee is more functional, so I’m making myself get up, get dressed, and go. I will walk to the light rail and take the bus. It’s just one location because there is a restaurant in my neighborhood. I need a fast-paced job that is not boring, that will not stress me out. I’m a good cook, so cooking is it.

Interview with We Sway's Founder, Danny Tirmizi. Top Story - April 2018.
Have you ever wondered how brands were able to get major pop icons and local celebrities to tout their products? In the past, it actually used to be very difficult. Entire agencies would need to be employed in order to get the right person with the right business. Now that people are increasingly interested in keeping up with social media influencers, one group has created an app that promises to change the way businesses do social media.

The First Year of College
I’m you’re typical girl from a small town where everyone knows everybody, and you can hardly get away with anything. So you can only imagine how excited I was to start school four and a half hours away from my hometown in the fall of 2017.

Write Better Emails, Get Better Results
I don't know about you, but I send and receive hundreds of emails every day—at least, it feels that way! Emails to colleagues, clients, suppliers, friends, and family are all whizzing across the internet to and from my inbox all the time. Some are fun, some are serious, many are just "business as usual."

Freshman Year: High School
Some say these four years are the best years of your life; the archway, or the bridge of new opportunities full of new adventures. Some say these years go by so fast you really don't remember what happened. But what they don't tell you is that first year—freshman year—is the worst. They don't tell you that you will spend countless nights up all night trying to meet a deadline. That you will lose hours of sleep trying to get up early and look "perfect" and look up to high school standards, but you will always think someone is prettier than you, or has a perfect body. They don't tell you that girls are bitches and guys are man whores. Girls will make fun of you for things you say and things you do, they will even make fun of you for who you talk or hang out with. Some will act like your best friend and within a day or two, they will hate you. They leave out the part where guys will tell you that you're "beautiful" and he "loves you" and will lead you on for weeks, then all of a sudden he is dating a new girl. They also didn't mention that you will study for hours on end and still get a C or D on your test, and that trying your best means that you have to emotionally kill yourself and put huge mental strain on yourself. But they swear "these are the best four years of your life."

Stocks That Offer Shareholder Perks. Top Story - April 2018.
Owning a stock is a great way to make your money work for you, and as most people will tell you, the longer you own it, the more you will be able to profit from them as they increase. Dividends are typically seen as the "ultimate perk" of stocks, since they offer direct payments to the shareholders at least once a year and are definitely a benefit to consider before purchasing stocks.
