Are You Better Off Now Than You Were Eight Years Ago?

Let’s leave politics out of the discussion for just a minute. I have one simple question for you – are you better off now than you were eight years ago? For me, that’s a “loaded” question. I wasn’t married yet and I didn’t have any children of my own. I was also eight years younger. I was a divorce’ dating seriously a man that had a young son. Seriously dating a man who is visually impaired. That’s a story for another time. To answer the question; I’m pretty sure I’m better off now because my darling boy wasn’t born until 2004! However, not to be selfish, this country is most certainly not better off. I was in a class where I was informed that we are not to say derogatory things about our leaders because they were placed in their position by God. I’m going to have to pray about that one some more because I think President George Bush should be held accountable for the mess this country is in right now. It might not be entirely his fault but I’m pretty sure his lack of leadership had a great deal to do with it. Senator McCain said the other night that he’s not George Bush. No, Senator McCain, you are not George Bush but it seems to have taken you a long time to come to that realization.

I am very disturbed by the way things are going in this country right now. I am sometimes afraid to turn on the television because of all the bad news. I pray daily and nightly to try to have some peace of mind. I know how blessed we are to have a nice place to live but if something doesn’t “break” soon, that might even be in jeopardy. Unlike many people, I have excellent prospects for a great income but I am concerned about how that will work out with the economy heading full steam towards a recession. I know in my heart that if we wake up on November 5th and John McCain has somehow managed to win the election, the world will continue to turn and life will go on but I don’t think that it will be a very pleasant world.

I know as a Christian, that God is in control. I know that everything will work out. However, I would feel a whole lot better if Barack Obama was elected rather than John McCain!

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. Hi-Tech Tutoring Center, Inc. is a 501 (c ) (3) organization registered with the State of Florida as such. We were founded nearly 30 years ago by our former Executive Director, Ernestine Mosley. The mission of the tutoring center has always been the education of its enrolled students. They have striven to reach those students that may have been deemed “unreachable” by the system. 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...
