Dear College.
You are like waiting in line to ride a roller coaster. First, it's exciting, but then that person waiting might start to feel scared or anxious for what's ahead. Eventually, she gets annoyed because it's taking so long that she starts to think about turning back, but she is so close to the front, that she decides to stay. Finally, it's her turn to ride the roller coaster, and it all becomes worth it.
You are exactly that, but with your own complications. Almost everyone nowadays has to go through you and those feelings. You are something I don't always understand, like why do you feel the need to be so expensive? I already give you my time, but now my money, and it’s a lot of money at that. Yes, financial aid does help, but not with all of it.
So, I won't...
Education
It’s a new year, so this has to be a new you. I say that with the kindest pretext I possibly can. Clearly, you’re new to the gym, and everyone knows it. You can feel it, every time you look up at someone they quick look away, everyone’s looking at you… but why?
I’m trying not to stare while you’re “warming up”, doing a bicep curl/shoulder press movement. But I just can’t help it, I want to run over and tell you what you’re doing wrong. Not many of us “seasoned vets” will though. We don’t want to draw attention to you because we were you, and we know what it’s like.
I wouldn’t have wanted someone drawing attention to me telling me I’m doing everything so very wrong. Or worse, making me notice how “small” I was. What you should be doing is watching us and paying close attention....

It’s been a while since I shared my innermost turmoil, often running through my mind by way of insidious thoughts. I am not sure sharing these would really make a difference, but as they say one has to be more forthcoming, when in doubt, especially when the matter concerns grave humane considerations.
The world we are living in; the place inhabited by myriad beliefs, faiths, emotions, cultures, is controlled by some intellectuals who proclaim themselves as community head/religious head, the heads who guide us; tells us to follow their path, who are ready to rage wars in the name of religion in the name of religion.
The heads of states who can spend billions to create new weapons to destroy humanity but cannot even spend a penny to fight hunger, illiteracy, child labor, woman abuse and...

What are values?
Are they something that can be quantified or something that can be bought? Does education teach us values or is its only aim to make us street smart and to teach us to earn a living and make financial fortunes?
Are values to be taught in a school, as part of a curriculum or should they be nurtured at home? Should a government create a place for values in a nation’s education policy and impart as a classroom subject?
Is earning money and being successful more important than learning and inculcating values in children?
Alas…All these questions can never have a real and satisfactory answer. We can have endless avenues for questioning and debates on this topic but can never conclude one way or the other.
Amongst, all these questions and debates, there is a matter of...

Last month the coronavirus, to us anyway, was just a meme about some sickness and China. Last month we had no idea the effect it would have on the world, our nation, and us personally. Last month we thought that we’d still be in school laughing with our friends over a semi-decent hot lunch.
From the time that we were young we were told by our parents, the movies we watched, and by our teachers that senior year was our year. It was the year that we ran the school. It was the year that we were supposed to find the Gabriella to our Troy. It was the year where everything in life was supposed to be perfect. But kicks and giggles hit the fan and it was an incredibly large fan. The thought that our senior prom, our senior year being the captain of our team, being the officer of our club, or...

Affirming an occupation candidate's past work experience is one of the most significant personal investigations a business can direct.
It additionally speaks to one of the most widely recognized zones where a candidate may adulterate data.
As per a HireRight report, in the United States there was a 27 percent disparity rate in work narratives dependent on in excess of 290,000 business confirmations it led over the most recent a half year of 2014.
Investigating a competitor's past work history can uncover understanding into their activity soundness and dependability to a business.
Bosses should look at what a competitor asserts on their resume with the genuine data detailed by a foundation screening organization.
Checks can affirm:

To the kids that eat lunch by themselves,
Hi, how's your day going? I know you feel as if no one knows you or cares about you, but I do. Sometimes we're just too wrapped up in other things to even acknowledge you. I care about you and dont mind having conversations with you, sometimes we just don't think about it, so help me remember, come talk to me, or anyone. I don't necessarily know what's going on in your life but I do know it must be hard. I'm sorry for the way your lunch time is and I want to change that but it doesn't just happen, it's a process so why don't we start it off?
Whenever you're feeling lonely go find someone to talk to, make a new friend. Okay sure sometimes it's difficult to start a conversation but let them know your intentions, let them know you want to get to...
