Today’s (Yesterday’s) HBCU, Football, Parenting Chronicles… HBCU…I returned to the Resume Drive yesterday where there were so many students, they had to be turned away and asked to come back today.

Today’s Work Chronicles… I worked a college resume drive and, in the words of my sister, “I’m in a tizzy.” I am flabbergasted at the lack of preparation, lack of desire, and lack of interest in students creating a resume and receiving feedback from companies who are actively recruiting.

Today’s Weekend Chronicles… I’m all about traveling. I’m even more about traveling to celebrate life over scrambling to plan travel for a funeral.

Today’s Football Chronicles… It is time… I’m not going to be chronicling all season but wanted to give y’all the scrimmage. I was a tad bit emotional because of how much these kids matured from last year. I love to see how they bond and push one another to do their best. They are respectful… Continue reading 08.10.2019
