Change course
When I was working on my Bachelors degree, many years ago, there was one class I made certain to avoid; Research Methods. Whenever I’d meet with my Academic Advisor, she would always stress to me that I needed to take that class right away, because it was one of my most difficult ones, and would…

Angry with the past
How many of you are willing to admit, 2021 took a lot out of you and from you? Not only was it cruel, brutal, and depressing for some, it was undoubtedly one we’ll never forget, although we’d like to. As a result of the personal calamities many of us have suffered, we’ve become bitter and…

A different response
We’re always talking about change, yet there are times we never really want it; we just like the idea of it. I used to have a student that would come to my office just about everyday, always complaining about her circumstances, and how it was her siblings fault, that she was going through such a…

Necessary heat

It’s evident that everyone you meet won’t be fond of you, but that doesn’t mean you aren’t a likable person. What matters is whether or…

Bad Address
“You have the power over your situation”, is a commonly used phrase, yet it’s also the absolute truth. For many years, I’ve allowed certain individuals to set the tone for my life, and ideally thought it was where I was meant to be. No matter who or what it involved, I chose to take up…

The Refinery
A few weeks ago, I was binge watching sermons and wig reviews on YouTube, when a suggested video was waiting in the queue for me to view next. “How to make an engagement ring” was its title, yet I was trying to figure out what did that have to do with wigs and the word…

Change of plans
Have you ever wanted to do something, but when the time came, you had a complete change of plans? When I was in Undergraduate school, my career plans were to be an Attorney, so I majored in Political Science. Although I am not “into” politics, I wanted to be a Prosecutor, so I could put…
