There can be no keener revelation of a society's soul than the way in which it treats its children. - Nelson Mandela

IM "ALL ABOUT" COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT , CHILD ADVOCACY, EDUCATION..
I have a passion to be an advocate for youth. I have a passion to strive towards equal opportunity to quality public education. I have a desire to bring change to oppressive features of our society (i.e.; public education system). I desire to encourage parents, teachers, students, and administrators to engage in conversations that will shape our future. I have a desire to see the only race prevail that matters and that is the HUMAN RACE. I believe that public assistance needs to be complemented with community programs to prevent a vicious cycle of poverty that is prevalent in our communities. I believe that our failure to make quality public education available is a major contributor to the growing number of those dependent on aid for periods of time longer than 2 years. I am working for positive change in the world starting with my community. Will you join me?
My 5 yeare old son inspired the title of this post.. at the bus stop one morning he said he was "All about TOYS!" I told him thats wonderful..but he is ALL ABOUT MORE THAN THAT! I asked him are you ALL ABOUT YOUR FAMILY? Are you ALL ABOUT GOD? Are you all ABOUT DANCING? #LOVE THIS LIFE
UN EMPLOYED
So the day starts off with promise. Got my baby on the bus without anyone disobeying the bus traffic indications. Going to head down to the Rainbow Push Global Automotive Energy Summit. Resumes in hand of course! This might me my lucky day. At this point if I need to work for free for a few months to get whatever it is I’m lacking to get my 70K/year I will. People around me look at me strange when I say I do not want to take a job that doesn’t fulfill 3 needs:
1: Career growth potential – adding to my skill set making me more marketable.
2) Salary- maybe not 70K but unquestionable fulfilling needs 1 & 2 and financially viable for a parent that incurs additional cost of before and afterschool care by accepting any particular position.
3) Environment that exudes integrity ß-----if you don’t get that get off my blog!
Being unemployed has been an eye opening experience. Especially being someone who has been employed from the age of 12 (paying taxes!) The services provided to those of us whom are unemployed seemed to be plagued with long waits in line.. constant scrutiny, and long phone prompt menus. In my OPINION not very conducive maintaining a positive outlook about finding work. Apparently I have TOO much Education to be eligible for aid to continue education. Someone like me could benefit by taking a course to be a certified auditor, human resource professional, or project manager. I guess I wonder about all that money being taken out of my pay check over the years..the tax audit over child care claimed (I only claim nursery school not even sitters).
Every check in MARVIN asks me if I have turned down work, made any money, or started any training. I want to ask him do you think I would prefer your $724 every two weeks to the benefits, salary, and self-fulfillment of being gainfully employed. But hey everyone calling MARVIN may not have my ambition. But why not? IF you knew the sky was the limit in what you could achieve what would make you settle for peanuts that someone was willing to give and take away in the blink of an eye? At least being employed whether securely or not you can save add to your skill set and marketability..
All I can say is Im glad I know who MY PROVIDER IS..
