Point of View

UNITED STATES—I’m certain by this point, you all have heard the scandal if you want to call it that regarding NFL star and San Francisco 49ers player Colin Kaepernick and his refusal to participate in the country’s national anthem. This has caused plenty of conversation in America with celebrities, coaches, players, the media and even presidential candidate Donald Trump...

UNITED STATES—School is back in session for most people, and for me it was slightly daunting to find myself back in a classroom after being MIA for nearly 8 years as I began the journey to work on my graduate degree. Was I nervous about being in a classroom again? Not quite, I’m the type of person that just...

UNITED STATES—Since I can remember, I have always been a fan of horror films. To be honest I think I’ve been a fan since the age of 4 or 5 to be honest, and I’ve always wondered why. What is it about horror films that nab my attention? Is it the adrenaline rush? Check. Is it the idea of...

UNITED STATES—Our lives are so busy nowadays it seems the time we spend in the kitchen to prepare meals has significantly decreased and that is not a good thing people.

We may not realize that it’s not in the best position to be...

UNITED STATES—It’s sad to even acknowledge that the summer months are quickly dwindling down and before you know it school will be back in session and things will be back to business as normal. Reports have continued to surface each day that more and more Americans are taking less vacations or time off from work. Why is that? Why...

UNITED STATES—Well, we all knew the time was coming and with less than 3 months before the presidential election, I’m ready to halt all the mudslinging and get the discussion focused on some serious issues for a change. I mean the back and forth between Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, is exhausting. Can we discuss some things of substance for...

UNITED STATES—To apologize or not to apologize that is the question of the day. I sometimes ask myself why in the world is it so difficult for some people to utter those simple two words: “I’m sorry.” I mean does the tongue go up in flames with the notion that those words would have to be uttered.
