Discover Your Passion: Volunteering Opens Your Eyes to New Career Paths “Jambo! Jambo!” yells a young girl, greeting us with the traditional Swahili welcome. She runs towards us, a huge smile on her face despite the fact that she is barefoot and her dress is tattered. She’s just 11 years old, but Rebecca will not only teach me to have an open mind and an open heart, but also inspire me to pursue a career in journalism. “Opportunity isn’t a chance, it’s a choice,” said Mia Farrow during a Me to We presentation to hundreds of youth from across North America, including myself. Me to We, a social enterprise created through the charity Free The Children, offers youth volunteer trips to Kenya, Ghana, Nicaragua, Ecuador, India and Arizona. I met Rebecca when we set out to collect water for a local village. I began the trip unsure if I would even attend university the following year, but the afternoon I spent with Rebecca and her family gave me the drive and passion I needed to make the decision to study journalism.
Five Cabinet Nominees can affect the education Control of school-related issues is spread across a number governmental agencies, and President-elect Donald Trump’s nominee for U.S. education secretary, Betsy DeVos, won’t be the only member of his cabinet to have a say in student-facing policy. The Michigan philanthropist and billionaire will face her Senate confirmation hearing next Tuesday, and many of her fellow nominees already have education records of their own. We examined five of the potential cabinet members who could influence America’s schools and what their past actions might mean for students around the country. Jeff Sessions - Nominated for U.S. Attorney General Some civil-rights groups are concerned the Education Department’s Office for Civil Rights could be moved to the Department of Justice, meaning Jeff Sessions—who has an incredibly controversial record on civil rights—would oversee it. Sessions also harshly criticized the Individuals With Disabilities in Education Act (IDEA) in a 2000 speech on the Senate floor.
Stop Stressing and Talk to a Career counselor Each and every one of us is a mixing bowl of potential, filled with individual talents and skills, dreams and desires, goals and an eagerness to accomplish something. But how do we blend all those ingredients together to end up with a career we excel at and enjoy? This question, and the adventure we undertake when we answer it, can arise at any point in a person’s life, but it begins for most when they are entering their senior years of high school. However, there are ways to reduce the anxiety—people and services you can turn to in order to help you make the smartest decision for your future. When we look for sources of help, we find that the options are virtually unlimited. Speak to each of them and compile what they say into an overall picture. Yes.

It’s a Juggle Life is complex.
future of public education It’s shaping up to be a contentious year on the education beat, fueled in part by Donald Trump’s upset victory in the presidential election. For starters, in the weeks and months since his election, his campaign call for expanding school choice has sparked widespread discussion and debate. And while federal policy is often a slow-moving train, it wouldn’t be difficult for the president-elect and the GOP-led Congress to change tracks on many key initiatives enacted by the Obama administration, affecting everything from the recent rewrite of the No Child Left Behind Act to school-lunch menus and oversight of for-profit colleges. It appears unlikely that President-elect Donald Trump can convince Congress—even a Republican-controlled Congress—to shell out $20 billion for school choice, as he promised during his campaign.

you can see ‘demonetize’ logistics biz Panaji: Though the demonetization benefits are debatable, Prime Minister Narendra Modi's surprise move on November 8 to withdraw high denomination notes has come as a boon to a Panaji-based startup, Numadic. Numadic has developed a digital platform for transportation companies and fleet operators that simplifies and even eliminates cash transactions. The six-month old startup has already obtained financial support from foreign investors through an initial round of funding as it tries to disrupt the logistics sector. While cash shortage woes plague everyone, very little attention has been given to the country's massive logistics and trucking industry, whose survival depends on cash. Asked for the inspiration behind the startup, co-founder and chief executive officer Luke Sequeira quotes Peter Drucker. The company already boasts of Essar Oil as a client along with GMI Zarhak, ALF Engineering, Hidedesign and Globe Transport Corporation among others.
Finding the Right Career Whether you’re just leaving school, finding opportunities limited in your current position or, like many in this economy, facing unemployment, it may be time to consider your career path.
