For many millennials freshly acquainted with the new working class and finding ourselves in jobs that are not exactly what we want to be doing, I dare you to allow yourself to fail. I have recently gone on the interview trail, and many of the older and higher up individuals within companies say that it…
DetailsProps: Role models who shape our lives What is a role model? To me a role model is someone you aspire to be and someone you don’t want to disappoint. Like most boys, my first role model was my dad. I would follow him around and do everything he did. My father unintentionally instilled in…
DetailsPeyton Manning sure, he broke the career yardage record in Mile High Stadium this year. He’s an All-American guy with a group of records you could write a coffee table book on… single season touchdowns, career touchdowns, most passing yards in a season, Super Bowl winner, so on and so forth. The guy has a Children’s…
DetailsI’ve always had a passion for serving my community, that’s just the way my heart is wired, there’s no great explanation for it. As a youth, I participated in many community service activities, and as I got older, my horizons broadened and I was eager to touch lives universally. Being Sierra Leonean, my country is…
DetailsIm sure you have felt moody before, and have decided that you aren’t going to go anywhere for the entire day. And all you want to do is stay in bed, keep to yourself, think, and listen to music. I had one of those just this past week. And it was MUCH needed! lol So…
Details“The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.” That quote is by far one of my favorite quotes from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. As my alma mater, Cathedral High School, and its current students are going through this unprecedented amount of grief and loss, I want them to know we fully stand behind them with support and anything else needed.
The definition of the word compassion, according to Webster’s dictionary, is a feeling of deep sympathy and sorrow for another who is stricken by misfortune, accompanied by a strong desire to alleviate the suffering. There is no better word to describe the feeling that I and all other Cathedral graduates are experiencing.
DetailsProps: Cousins’ Talent Show Act While browsing social media the other day, I was super excited to see my uncle had posted a video of my cousins’ elementary school talent show act. I realize that may not be the reaction one would expect when thinking of a grade school performance, but I knew this would not be…
DetailsAnyone who knows me knows I often jump at the opportunity to engage in heady conversations about philosophy, religion, science, evolution…aliens. I personally love trying to weave together the big questions (frankly, they’re all one in the same – but THAT is a conversation to be had on barstools over pints) and I find it…
DetailsI think it’s safe to say that we all have thought about what it would be like to meet an alien. What would they look like? Could we communicate with them? I think most of us have also come to terms with the fact that it is unlikely we will get the answers to those…
DetailsRemember the good ole days when you were young, and just started to discover your taste in music. I enjoyed waking up just a little bit early so that I could catch the music videos on MTV before I would go to school. Then after school, I rush home by 4pm so that I wouldn’t miss…
