Americans Have Never Lived in a Democracy

The biggest myth in U.S. history is taught in the classroom and preached by Congress people and that needs to stop — Fires in the street. People protesting for equality. Men in black uniforms kidnap protesters in unmarked vans. Members of the press arrested for standing with the crowd. Those who cross borders to seek asylum are without food or water. Many die in detention centers. As Childish Gambino put it, “This is…

Death is a Reminder That Time is Finite

What are you going to do about it? — A few days after my birthday in September, I received a call. A former student of mine had committed suicide. I didn’t know how to react. That had been the first time someone close to me had passed away. I struggled to breathe as I thought about how young she…

Teaching is hitting an all-time low.

Teaching is hitting an all-time low. Since the beginning of the school year, my high school has not been able to hire four teachers to teach English. So what do those students do? They’ve had a substitute for the entire semester so far. They haven’t learned how to be a…

Why Aren’t School Supplies Recyclable?

How can we teach kids to recycle if markers are single-use? — I run through Expo markers pretty frequently. I love to tell stories while teaching in my classroom, and drawing pictures helps students to visualize the story I’m telling. Drawing images on the whiteboard helps keep them engaged, as opposed to showing them a picture on PowerPoint. Pictures on a PowerPoint…

Should you bother getting an MBA?

Should you bother getting an MBA? There’s not much point in wasting two to four years of your life getting a degree if you don’t know how you’ll use it. What do you expect to learn? If you’re expecting to learn how to start or run a business, why aren’t…

Forget Wattpad — Publish Your Fiction Stories on Amazon Instead

You’ll get paid per chapter instead of per book — I’ve published my fiction content on this platform before. Unfortunately, it got lost in the abyss of self-help and programming content that floods this platform. I started to remove it and began creating a collection so I could publish it as a whole book on Amazon in the hopes I…

You Don’t Need a Master’s Degree to be Successful

You have more affordable options available — This summer, I had to make a difficult choice: did I want to continue my Master’s in Business Administration? I decided to drop. This is the second time I’ve dropped out of a Master’s program. All is not lost, though. I realized the path I have been seeking is the…

How to Become a Millionaire by Spending Your Money

It’s the only way to maximize gains — Let’s be real. Saving your money in the bank does nothing for you. The CPI for June 2022 came in at 9.1%. Inflation is killing your savings account as prices increase and the value of the dollar decreases. Investing in stocks isn’t attractive right now, as the stock market has…

Three Tech Stocks I’m Buying In This Bear Market

They have the potential to grow significantly long-term — I began investing in March of 2018. Since then, I’ve read several finance books on becoming a millionaire and I invest 30% of my paycheck into the stock market every month. Among the gains and losses made, these are the three stocks I’ve held onto for the past four years…
