Point of View

UNITED STATES—This past month, has been one of the most stressful and chaotic that I have encountered in quite some time.

UNITED STATES—Many people take for granted their ability to fully utilize all five of their senses. You might be surprised to hear that some people aren’t fully aware of what those senses are.

UNITED STATES—Eating healthy is no easy task, most Americans know this. You can tell yourself a trillion times that you will do so, but if you don’t put a plan in place to do so it will never happen.

UNITED STATES—It has been said time and time again, driving is a privilege not a guarantee, yet so many people think they have a ‘right’ to be behind the wheel of a car. I recall vividly the days of taking driver’s education after school. We were shown those videos of how dangerous driving under the influence can be. We were...
