There can be many benefits of learning a new language. It will enrich your life by giving you new ways to look at the world and relating to different groups of people. You may get to know people that you may not have had the chance to otherwise.  Best of all, you may be able to help someone else by being a translator and helping them adjust in a country where the language is new and strange to them.  It can also give you a glimpse into the culture of that language.

Knowing a language will also add to your skill set and perhaps even make you more competitive in the job force.  Employers would prefer to have an employee that speaks another language over one that doesn’t.  They have more marketable skills and can be very useful with the company’s customers or contacts.  Those that know a foreign language also have greater opportunities to earn more money.  So learn a language, you never know what good may come of it.

Soldiers Continuing Their Education


Tuesday, June 23rd, 2009


Soldiers Continuing Their EducationSince the economic downturn, more and more individuals are pursuing an education. This trend also includes military academies. Applications at the nation’s top three military academies have increased drastically, meanwhile the military has taken their recruiting efforts up a notch.

The recession has helped drive up military recruitment and retention rates. As more and more people lose their jobs, the idea of having steady job with great benefits looks even more appealing and the military provides that.

As of last week, the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis received 15,300 applications for only 1,230 positions. This is a 40 percent increase since last year and the highest number of applications received since 1988. The U.S. Military Academy at West Point, NY and the U.S. Air Force Academy in Colorado Springs, CO also saw increases. Applications were up 10 percent for the class of 2013.

The recession is responsible for fewer college scholarships and financial aid, so people are looking at different options. The military offers free college and a steady job. Members of the military are able to finance their education through a number of different ways. These may include but are not limited to their GI Bill, financial aid, scholarships, grants, and military tuition assistance.

Many soldiers understand how important education is, and are currently taking classes online. Many different schools offer online courses. Distance learning offers flexibility because it allow students to learn anytime and anywhere, including students that are deployed. Many students by taking online classes are able to finish their degree by the time they decide to get out of the military.

With an education, these students not only become better soldiers, but also better civilians. Upon graduation, these students will not only have their military training but also an academic background. With these two types of training and knowledge, these individuals will be prepared for their futures and also have a competitive edge on everyone else.

Window Washer…..”Crash”


Monday, June 22nd, 2009


Window Washer AccidentsOn Wednesday a 21 year-old window washer survived a six-story fall from a bank building.  His safety rope never caught.  The 21-year old Alex Clay reported that "There’s a little roof over the entryway.  I bounced off of that and then hit the pavement."

He was taken to the hospital and doctors determined his main injury was a shattered bone on his left foot.  He also had six staples in his leg because he cut it on something as he fell.  Luckily for Clay, the doctors expect him to make a complete recovery.

He recounted that the problem developed when he noticed a clip on his gear for rappelling wasn’t fastened. He tried not to panic because his safety line was connected to his harness.  For some reason it didn’t catch, but his co-worker and a maintenance man tried to pull him back up but he was too sweaty and let go. 

Clay had only worked for the window cleaning company four months when the accident occurred.  Clay reported to have "no intention of working high buildings for quite a while.Personally I have my doubts that he ever will; especially since he can "remember the entire fall all the way down." 

This accident just goes to show that everyone should get an education.  That way your life won’t depend on some tiny little rope.  Instead you can work somewhere you like, that’s safe, better paying, and offers greater benefits; somewhere hopefully with life and health insurance.

Now is a great time to start your education.  There are classes that will fit your personality and needs.  Education doesn’t have to be on a campus, in a classroom, listening to an old professor rattle on for what feels like eternity.  Education has changed.  It is accessible and flexible. If you have the desire to go to school, learn, and improve your life, then get cracking.  Now is the time!
