The Importance of the Arts. Top Story - November 2017.
Whether people are willing to admit it or not, the arts are currently under attack in our nation's education. Funding is being pulled away from the arts or, in some cases, arts programs are getting cut from the programs offered entirely. Sometimes this is done in an effort to allocate funds to another department, like sporting programs, and others it's done in an effort to cut corners in a tight budget. Despite the quality of excuse, severely cutting the funding of arts programs or arts programs altogether can be highly detrimental to the students' overall educational experience.

Group Interview: 5 Tips to Survive and Flourish
We’ve all had that wonderful feeling of being invited to an interview, it’s confirmation that your application was top quality and the company wants to meet you. Continue reading further down the email or listening to the voicemail and your heart may drop, like mine did, when I read the words, ‘group interview and presentation.’ Since leaving school, I’ve always been someone confident in their ability and rarely shy, however, the idea of fighting for a job (metaphorically) with my fellow candidates sat next to me or worse, watching me, was something incredibly intimidating. I did however get the job that I was interviewed for and became close friends with my two fellow candidates (something I wasn’t expecting when I arrived for the assessment). It’s both tricky and terrifying, but here’s how you can survive and, perhaps even thrive in the group interview environment.

Teachers Aren't Heroes
Teachers are not heroes. Don’t worry. I’m a teacher. I can say that. Sure, teachers deserve respect and appreciation, probably even much more than the majority of us currently receive. A lot of us are busting our butts and emptying our wallets and baring our souls every day. So thank us, and send us gifts, and teach your children to listen to us, and shoot us encouraging emails, and give us discounts on Teacher Appreciation Day, and please, please, PLEASE show up on Back To School night.

Is College Right for Everyone?
Breathing in deeply, I flip the light on my register, a signal for customers that my register is now open. So begins the next six hours of cashing people out and listening to everyone’s life stories. Working at a grocery store gives you the competence to interact with a variety of different people. Some may decide you’re their new best friend. Some may believe they have to tell you what they did last night at Jenny’s party, or how their cat Maisy had ingested Antifreeze the night before and was now lethargic, unable to move from the couch. (Both of which are true). Each day, walking in you never exactly know what to expect. Each day I am meeting people of all different educational backgrounds. What is the same, is that people everywhere all share the common need for food and at least have a basic education. As I move the "closed" sign off of my register belt, I tighten my ponytail, douse my hands in hand sanitizer, put a smile on my face, and greet the first customer of my shift.

Stick with What Works
When I was a child in the 1980's I loved some things more than others: Garbage Pail Kids (this one was my favorite...) Don't you dare make fun of me! The Dallas Cowboys. Danny White was the man! Pee Wee's Playhouse on Saturday mornings. Weird Al U2 (Bono is awesome)
