Summer Jobs for Students

  Summer is here and there is money to be made especially if you are a college student! I’ve spoken with many students who are taking advantage of their summer break by working extra hours since they are either not taking classes or not taking as many. Are you a college student who is looking to make some extra money? If so, keep reading for a few helpful tips! Figure 1: This is a thumbnail for my YouTube video on Summer Jobs for Students where I am smiling next to money emojis.   The first thing I always recommend is using your campuses’ hiring platform. Many campuses have a special platform that they use to post student jobs that are available on campus. You can also take a stop by the place that you would like to work and ask if they are hiring and how you can apply. Career Services is another great place on campus with leads on available jobs. In undergrad, I worked at a store on campus that served hot and cold foods. I actually was hired during the summer at an on campus-hiring

I Have a Disability What's Joe Biden Doing for Me ?

 

(This a photo of me with an inquisitive look and a photo of Joe Biden used as a thumbnail for my YouTube video on "I have a Disability What's Joe Biden Doing For Me?".)


Today is January 20, 2021 Inauguration Day. So many people have EAGERELY waited for this day. It almost feels like Christmas if you ask me and I’m sure most of our nation feels that way! Whether you are hoping for student loan forgiveness, tax breaks, or climate control improvements there is a consensus that the tides have finally turned in our country for the good. As I was sitting in my office, I was wondering what is Joe Biden doing for individuals with disabilities? That led me to do some digging on his webpage to see if any prospective policies had been put in place and here’s what I found:

  • 1.      Ensure full inclusion  of PWDs in policy development while enforcing civil rights.
  • 2.      Guarantee access to better healthcare that includes mental health and supports in integrated areas.
  • 3.      Expand competitive and integrated job employment opportunities.
  • 4.      Protect and strengthen economic security within the disability community.
  • 5.      Strengthen access for students with disabilities from birth through supportive resources.
  • 6.      Provide accessible  and affordable housing, transportation, and assistive technology.
  • 7.      Advance global disability rights.

Now these points leave a LOT to unpack! Each of these potential policies are important areas within the disability community that need to be tackled to improve overall outcomes. I must admit I like what I see here but can this administration pull it off? Check out the video below for more information on Biden’s plan for PWDs.

Tips for First Year Doctoral Students

  Figure 1 :  This is a picture of a black doctoral cap   Well my first year as a doctoral student has come to an end. I turned in my last assignment of the semester earlier this week and man did it feel good! I still plan to take summer courses but I have about a month break until then. This first year has taught me so much about my major of higher education and myself. This past semester I took on History of Higher Education and Introduction to Quantitative Statistics. While the history course wasn’t so bad the stats course was a whole other ball game! Especially for someone who has always struggled with numbers. This course took a lot of getting used to and reminded me of somethings that all first year doctoral students should know. Figure 2: This is a picture of pink balloon letters that spell the word "friends". First things first make friends with the people in your program. This may be hard due to COVID and if you are in an online program like myself but don’t le

What's Biden Doing for Student Loan Forgiveness? (You May Already Qualify!)

  (This a photo of me smiling at my desk used as a thumbnail for my YouTube video on What's Biden Doing with Student Loan Forgiveness?) A hot topic right now in politics is the Biden Administration and student loan forgiveness. I myself have been keeping up with all headlines regarding this matter because like most of you all I have a student loan balance. While the balance is small compared to most folks, it’s still a balance and where I’m at currently in my debt free journey. In case you were unaware, about two weeks ago a report came out that President Biden asked Michael Cardona, the Secretary of Education to write a memo regarding the legalities of him being able to forgive student loan debt through an executive order and how much can be forgiven. Biden’s main buzz around his campaign to become president was that he would forgive $10,000 in student loan debt. However, now democrats are pressuring him to forgive at least $50K but Biden seems to be unsure about this citing tha
