I am Not Part of the 99%

November 8, 2011

Like every stereotype out there, I feel like I’m am being smashed in with a vast generalization that just because I don’t make millions of dollars, I am part of the disgruntled 99% crowd. I am not part of the 99%. And I really don’t like these people speaking on behalf of me. I guess […]

September 9, 2010

When I previously wrote “I want to make a dent on this world,” I truly believed that I have every opportunity to accomplish that. I just need to do my part. What I may not have said is that sometimes it gets a little hard to remember that kind of a goal when you get […]
