What is a life well lived?


One of our most beloved family members passed away a few weeks ago…  I would say that she lived a long and wonderful life – a life well lived.  I was gratified to see the attendance at her wake and funeral.  I’m not sure she was aware, towards the end of her life, how many lives she had touched in her lifetime.  I know she had a profound effect on my life.  Although I will miss her earthly presence, I feel she is in a better place where she is free from pain and discomfort.

What then is the take away from all this?  Live your life to the fullest.  Spend time with your loved ones.  Whenever possible, do good deeds for no reason at all expecting nothing in return.  Work hard and play even harder.  Find something to stand for or you will fall for anything.  Leave a lasting legacy.  And remember, the definition of insanity is continuing to do the same thing and expecting to get a different result.  Are you ready to make some changes in your life?

I agree totally with this philosophy of living life. I strive to achieve these goals, and hope that when I pass on people can truly say that I inspired them to do better.

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. ...

Two important things to remember:  Establish a regular routine and  maintain that routine to mimic normalcy  Hi-Tech is here to help. Reach out to us. Because while we all know this situation that we are in isn’t normal, we can do things to help our special ones deal with the disruption in all of our lives.

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...
