Nowadays, it seems like college is required to get almost any job out there. On an application and during interviews, employers want to know where you went to college and what you majored in. This all-important qualification is certainly a worthy goal, but with the expenses of tuition that are steadily rising, how can young adults be expected to afford the costs?

Unfortunately, far too many people succumb to the idea of student loans and this only makes for piles of debt after college. Nearly two million people over the age of sixty are still paying off debt that they accumulated in college due to loans. Rather than getting sucked into this vicious cycle, find out more with this helpful infographic. It's better to become educated before you get on campus, avidly working towards your career.

Within the last hour, the NYC police defuse a car bomb in the middle of Time Square. Now, just think. Alittle longer. Let that buzz fly away within the next few minutes. I just think that the training, the commitment and the dedication to the job is amazing. I can’t think of any other word.

Actually, I can. I love NYC police and you have made America proud.

 

Whoever decided to put a bomb in Times Square, we will hunt you down!




Yes, already. We should be thinking about this day and what we must remember. We must remember how far we have come. We should be thinking about who we are and where we are. We should be thinking about why we came together. We should be thinking how we became united. One nation. We the People. 

Not black. Not white. Not brown. Not light black. Not light brown. Not straight. Not non-straight. Not deaf. Not blind. We the People of all color with the leadership of Martin Luther King, Jr. led this nation to address a troubling issue in our nation: discrimination, more importantly, racial equality.
"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character."
We have come a long way since 1963. We elected the first African-American president. Never in the time between 1963 to 2008 has America has had a prouder moment than this. Yet, we must remember that while we have gained much in racial equality; it still lingers among us. The generation that our parents grew up is not the same generation that we grew up in. Diversity in America has reach unprecedented interconnectivity with people of all race never seen before. 


In a speech, former President Clinton, said in a ceremony in Oak Bluff, MA on August 28, 1998
Dr. King used to speak about how we were all bound together in a web of mutuality, which was an elegant way of saying, whether we like it or not, we're all in this life together. We are interdependent.
Therefore, this coming Monday, January 18, 2010, We the People should be thinking that we are still in this  for the long haul, and, whether you or I like it, we're all in this life together, interdependently.
