What A Night…What A Week!

I never thought I’d see it in my lifetime! That’s what I am hearing from a lot of African-Americans. I mean African-Americans of all ages. Senator Obama may not have “made a big deal” in his speech but yesterday was an historic day! Not only was it the 45th anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King’s “I Have A Dream Speech,” but a black man stood in front of 84,000 of his closest friends with millions more watching and accepted the Democratic nomination for President of the United States! Frankly, I was “blown away!” I took my son to a “speech watching party” because I wanted him to be a part of this historic occasion. There were several thousand people there because the party was part of the Tom Joiner Family Reunion. When Senator Obama was finished speaking, Tom said he felt like dancing so we all did the Cupid Shuffle. It was a beautiful thing to behold. Everyone was dancing and celebrating and rejoicing this wonderful night for America.

I have heard many of Senator Obama’s critics say that he gives great speeches but there is never any substance to what he says. Last night he laid out his plans to get us out of this mess we’re in. I’m sure there is going to be harsh criticism of his plans. I wonder what they are going to say now that Senator McCain has picked a Vice President that has even less “experience” than Senator Obama. Is Senator McCain trying to get Hillary supporters by nominating a woman? Why this particular woman? Who is she?

Now I know a little about who Sara Palin is.. She’s a Pat Buchanan-supporting, extremist. I guess that’s what Senator McCain feels he needs to “shore up” his base. I can’t believe any true Democrat would desert her party because of hurt feelings or anger. Are Hillary Clinton’s supporters still so upset that they would support a ticket that would most certainly overturn Roe v. Wade? I don’t like the whole connotation that if you’re pro choice, you’re pro death. What if all the unwanted babies were allowed to be brought into this world anyway? They might end up like poor Caylee Anthony. I don’t know about you but I hate to think about the possibility of “a whole bunch” more missing and abused children!

I think Senator Obama did an excellent job in laying out his plans for America. I am going to try to keep an open mind and listen to what Senator McCain says, even if I have to drink some Red Bull to do it!

What the Heck is "Dancing for Dollars?"

What is “Dancing for Dollars” you may ask? Well, rest assured it has NOTHING to do with stripper poles or any such thing. “Dancing for Dollars” is the effort of our new Executive Director, Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA, to bring in funds and bring awareness to Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. Mrs. Cooper has been known to “cut a rug” and then trip over it.  Mrs. Holly Mosley Cooper, MBA But she is willing to make a spectacle of herself to help children who are in need but can’t afford to pay for the services.

The ones who were labeled as lacking in some necessary component to succeed in school. ...

We Are Here For You

We will get through this together. I offer to you my almost 30 years of experience operating, funding, managing Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. I think the most effective way to approach things is by “grouping” students by ages in order to facilitate tutoring. I am happy to offer my assistance to parents who are trying to homeschool their children. Additionally, I will offer private tutoring sessions via Skype or Zoom.   In this time of social distancing and stay at home orders, we can still maintain our children’s educational integrity.   What I need from parents is to tell me what area is causing the most stress. I can record lessons and broadcast them on YouTube, or I can do live broadcasts on YouTube. My sense is that I will most likely do both. I will do whatever is most helpful. All I ask is for you to contribute what you can to the Tutoring center via PayPal and $CashApp. No amount is too small. $CashApp: $Homoco   PayPal: paypal.me/hitech177  Credit card dona...
