    The Journey to America.

    Coming to America is one of my most significant life accomplishments, it might not seem like a big deal for some people, but to me, it is a promise, a dream, and a better future. It was not an easy task to become a legal immigrant and come to America because you must go through a strict and long-term process that takes a lot of time and effort. But to complete the promise I made to my father 11 years ago, I was willing to push myself every day to make it happen.

    Welcome to the Graveyard

    October is the month of ghost, goblins, scary movies, costumes, trick or treating, fun lawn decorations, and so much more. It is the month that the City of Salem Massachusetts, which has a population of just over 45,000, will welcome more than a half million curious visitors. For more than a few, Halloween is their favorite holiday. As much as I would like to talk about Halloween, Salem, MA, and other frightening topics, we are here to talk about a graveyard, and not just any graveyard, but the FUN Enterprises program burial grounds.

    Is it Passion, Effort, or both?

    Billionaire Mark Cuban wrote a blog post in 2012 where he proclaimed that the worst piece of career advice, or possibly just the worst piece of advice you could give or receive, is to follow your passion.

    It’s All About the People

    During one of our recent weekly sales staff meetings, someone posed the question “who is your favorite client and why?” You could only pick one. This is a question that I am often asked when I am on college campuses.

    COVID Has Changed a lot

    Although the numbers aren’t what we experienced 2 years ago, they are still significant. This has dragged on so long that people have become immune to the statistics and instead are enjoying the freedom of a return to a sense of normalcy.

  • The New Normal

    The New Normal

    Normal, there is that word again. While working the other night at a college, one of the senior students I was working with, said that this was the first fall that felt “normal”. Of course, without even thinking about it, I said it still isn’t normal and immediately went on to explain why it wasn’t normal. Colleges and universities in the fall of 2022 are still facing significant staffing shortages, especially in the areas of student affairs and residence life.

    Ready or not, fall of 2022 is here

    Many people continue to make comparisons between fall 2019 and fall 2022. Trust me when I tell you, that there is no comparison between the two years. Yes, outward appearance would have you believe that they are similar. Not only have colleges returned in full force, but corporate events are coming back, as well. Calendars are filling again, and the entertainment world is back in business. That, as far as this writer is concerned, is where the similarity ends.

    You Get More with Honey Than Vinegar

    During the beginning stages of COVID, there seemed to be a shift in people’s attitudes. Prior to the start of the pandemic, many seemed to care only for themselves or their immediate circle of family and friends. As the Coronavirus took hold, we saw some incredible stories of people helping one another.
