Essence Festival 2013 Part 3 and Final Entry

This has been a truly wonderful weekend! Vacations are supposed to make you feel renewed and refreshed and this one did.  The Essence Festival is all about empowerment and this one certainly was.  At the very awesome concert last night they announced that this year was huge for them, maybe the biggest in 19 years.  I enjoyed taking in all the sights and sounds and smells.  I enjoyed immersing myself in the culture.

This year we determined that we were going to focus on making all the concerts and we did.  I am happy for this decision because they were all awesome.  Whatever your opinion of Beyonce is, she is fantastic in concert. She actually shut the Superdome down last night.

While we are going back to reality today, I will cherish these memories for a lifetime.  Live your life as if there is no tomorrow because tomorrow is not promised.  I have to mention my friend again because he is always on my mind and especially today, what would have been his 44th birthday…

Happy Birthday Sheldon “DJ Saxwell” Martinez! I almost lost it last night when Beyonce did her tribute to Whitney and I definitely lost it when she sang “Halo.”  Rest in Paradise my new Guardian Angel. I know you are wearing your halo well.

Suga Bear meet Charmin bear. Y'all should know I'm an overgrown child.
I just could not resist

This is in the entry hall

This is where all the great concerts took place
Lest we forget our legacy

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. ...

Do you have a child or young person in your care who’s on the Spectrum? How are they handling the shutdown? 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. For our part, my boy has started a rigorous fitness routine and changed his eating and sleeping habits to cope. However, he’s still having issues maintaining his academic subjects.

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...
