Family values that were instilled in me as a child ,always try to do the best of your ability. From whom much is given much is expected. The only reason why you are blessed is to bless others.
I remember on Sunday at my Great Aunt home who resided at 2711 Georgia Avenue N.W. Washington ,DC at the side gate of a famous (HBCU) Howard University half a dozen men and women gather at her home. They were all dressed the their best Sunday go to meeting clothes. The women wore crinoline dress, while gloves, fresh out of the kitchen pressed hair. The men wore white starched shirts, dress pants, spit shined shoes and quovadis hair cuts. They told us that they were going to the "Reflecting Pool" to meet a minister from Atlanta, Georgia by the name of Martin Luther King. They wanted to make history by protesting for better jobs, access to education, buses, & hotels. That left an indelible memory that has lasted a life time.- The Economy, Education and the Environment .Covid was a wake up call for Hawaii whether we want to continue as tourism being our main economic engine or whether we need to diversify our economy. With regard to the Economy:
- With regard to Education :Resolving our teacher shortage connect with the 101 HBCU(historical black colleges and universities) which have over 75 teacher education schools producing over 4000 graduates. Recruit from the military spouse. Have Hawaii colleges and universities register with the teacher practicum program of DODEA.
- With regard to the Environment: Use oil and pollution eating plants now.
Brought someone some happiness
There was once a bird who forgot to fly south for the winter. Slowly this bird's wings began to freeze and he fell down to the earth. A cow came along and at the bird's exact spot he pooped upon him. The warmth of which melted his frozen wings. He was so happy he began to sing. A cat came along heard him and ate him. The moral to this story is this. Every one that poops on you is not always your enemy. Everyone that gets you out of poop is not always your friend. And if you are in deep poop keep your mouth shut. Amazing!!!!
