Banking Is Supposed To Be Easy Right?
UNITED STATES—I have a bit of a bone to pick and I’m certain plenty of Americans can understand the strife that I am about to describe here. I’ve always been an advocate of going to the bank. It’s something about having the opportunity to deposit a check, to deposit money, to take care of bills or to retrieve money...
Student Loan Debt Lingers Forever
UNITED STATES—It is something many who seek a higher education dread: student loan debt. I recall vividly as an undergraduate I did everything and I mean nearly everything in my power to ensure I took out the bare minimum when it came to student loans to pay for school. Why? That fear of knowing that you have thousands of...
Being In Management Is No Easy Task
UNITED STATES—We’ve all been taught in life that it’s better to be a leader than a follower. That is a slogan that I do indeed live by. Why? Those who follow never show any tact in my opinion and if they are not willing to think for themselves it could lead to their ultimate downfall. With that being said,...
Danger At The Amusement Park!
UNITED STATES—By now, I’m certain many of you have heard about the tragedy that transpired at an Ohio county fair last week.

The Difficulty Of Teaching
UNITED STATES—The ability to teach is no easy task, which is the reason I have such a high level of respect for those who teach. I've always said in life, if I wasn't so passionate about writing and cinema, I would have been a teacher. There is something about sharing the knowledge that you have obtained with others that...
Does Loyalty Really Matter?
UNITED STATES—Loyalty is a word that gets thrown around quite a bit with the people in my inner circle. I see it quite often in the workplace, and it constantly raises a question for me: do these people truly understand what the word loyalty means or why it's important? I will be honest this analysis of mine was a...
Economic Downturn
UNITED STATES—What makes a city vibrant? Is it the geographic makeup, is it the people, is it the businesses, is it the economy, safety, work opportunities? There is a lot in play people, but I'm seriously tackling this issue as a native Detroiter, where all the talk of town right now is the anniversary of the 1967 riots that...
Death Is Scary!
UNITED STATES—There is one thing promised to everyone in life: death. Yes, death can be scary and while I don't fear it, I tell people time and time again that a near death experience can change you in ways that you can't always explain. I've had near death experiences and I've had family members encounter similar situations, so death...
