No Excuses
Richard and I in Fiddler on the Roof, October 2016. No Excuses Three weeks after my 10th birthday, I had an experience that would be the beginning of a change in the way I see myself. I walked into the Dayton Jewish Center multipurpose room, hit a button on a CD player, sang my best “Colors of the Wind,” and went home. There was no way I’d get to hear the word "yes." No way the kid who looked like me would get a shot. Two days later, I got the phone call informing me that I had been cast into the ensemble of a production of Fiddler on the Roof. The seemingly impossible had happened—I was being told yes. After what seemed like a lifetime of being told I couldn’t, I was being given a shot. That was when the theatre bug bit—hard and fast.

How To Actually Be Productive Working from Home. Top Story - February 2018.
Slowly but surely, a lot of jobs are moving to the "remote" world. This not only saves companies on office space costs but also allows for more flexibility in where their staff are located. With the technology these days, it's easy to still communicate with colleagues and clients on a regular and professional basis.

I Am the Boss
I was always taught to go to school, get a good education, go to university, become a professional. This was pretty much drummed into our heads from childhood. No one ever taught me that there was another way. I did well in school, went to college, then decided this was all a little too uniform and decided, to the horror of my family, to drop out of study and be a rebel...I was under this illusion that my parents wanted me to go to university so they could show off to their friends. I had many jobs, from cleaning to factory work. I never lasted long in any job, as it was never fulfilling who I was. There was always something missing. I did not want to live from month to month. I could never understand why I was building someone else's dream and not my own, but never understood how to switch that around as I was never taught this at school.

Teaching English Overseas
It’s something many people desire, to pick up and go. To embark on an adventure, and leave our mundane lives behind. The idea brings pleasure, but the reality is that most of us need some sort of assurance in order to fully be able to embrace the situation for what it is. Whether it be a travel companion, the blessing of loved ones, or attending school, we tend to long for the adventure with a safety net. For me, that safety net was a job. To be honest, I had recently completed my Bachelor's in interdisciplinary studies, and had a direction but nothing to back it.

What I Want with a Law Degree
I want to spend my first three years of Law school at Santa Clara University, never mind the three years or so I’m going to take to get my general education retaken, done, etc. I don’t have my transcript from my junior college yet, but I know which classes I need to do better in, because it is almost memorized. It is quite the long trip to my junior college by light rail, and it has to wait a touch until I’m ready to enroll in online psychology class. I also need my knee all the way better since my junior college has hills.

Starting a Business at Eighteen
I grew up surrounded by hardworking family and friends that led me to be the same. In 4th grade I asked my teacher for extra homework because I was bored. In high school I took honors and AP classes while starting work just months after turning 16. At 17 I bought a car with that hard earned money.

I Hated My Primary School
I went to two different primary schools, neither of which were perfect. The second one was, however, significantly better. But I even hated nursery. The time where you're supposed to have the most fun during school. It's basically a daycare with learning colours and shapes.
