Black History Month At Intuit ( African American Network Group)

This weekend was my 1st time ever hosting and I had the pleasure to host for company call Intuit who has a African American Network group within the company in Fredericksburg. . They had their first Black History Celebration and it was great.  A nice turnout, good food and nice group of people/employee's who seem to love working for this company and I can see why. 

Thank You for allowing me the opportunity

"Yes We Can"

West Wing Week 01/03/14 or "Best of the West (Wing Week) 2013"

What a year 2013 brought and our President helping to inspire thoughts and ideas that carry over to the following years. People working together to help each other through the tears and remembering to Vote year after year. This seems to be the way to get and hold Congress ears, now we still need to make Stand Your Ground disappear. RIP to all the victims of this crazy law. MoPoDC 4 Peace

Wake Up Call ! When are we going to get serious enough about education in America to Truly Make it Priority #1

When are we going to get serious about education in America?   If the recent news about United State test scores does not wake us up then I do not know what will.  We need to make some serious changes to our education system.  In talking to different people about why we keep falling short, I am hearing that part of the problem is the Unions who are not allowing the system to hold teachers accountable or who are not allowing the teachers who really care and have great ideas to be able to express them or implement their ideas.

 I on the other hand believe it is this "teaching to testing approach".  How do we expect our kids to really learn if they are mostly learning how to pass a test instead of learning the process to how to solve or figure out problems, i.e., math, reading, and life concerns?

We need a drastic change from the top on down. I hear our Secretary of education is working with New York City on a great idea call “Pencil “where all the kids will receive a great education regardless of their zip code.

What will it take to implement these new ideas at the local level?   Who is preventing these great ideas from being implemented at the local level? These are some of the question we need to be asking and problems that we as a people should be trying to solve.  Because if you have not heard the United State is close to finishing in last place.   Which means we need to have  an urgency about  figuring out what works and how can we get it implement  ASAP before  more of our youth fall to far behind.

This is another example of were all parties need to come together to do what is right for Our Country, we so Love, fight and die for.

Let's Help Keep America Great by getting  & keeping Our People Educated

Stress Education as a #1 priority to all of our people esp our youth.
