20yr College Student Takes a Stand

More inspirational junk! We need to hear more about young women like this---- She is so FEARLESS! 20-year old college student Marisol Valles has taken up the position of chief of police of Guadalupe, Mexico -- the country's second most violent city & controlled by drug lords. No one else would take the job. Keep her in your prayers! You are an inspiration!!

Guadalupe's mayor was murdered in June; police be-headings are common. The current mayor said his hands were tied: Valles, a criminology major, "was the only person to accept the position."

she had this to say after being asked if she was afraid...

"Afraid? Everyone is afraid and it's very natural. What motivates me here is that the project is very good and can do a lot for my town. I know that we are going to change and remove this. - Marisol Valles"

$100 Million for Newark Schools

Nothing but love for the Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg who donated $100 million to the failing Newark school system. Our education system needs help like this! The donation is the first in part of Zuckerberg's new foundation to improve schools. This is cool as hell because he is the youngest billionaire making such a large impact on society. We need more ppl with money and power to have a heart like this!

Trailer: Waiting for Superman

This film is very good. I don't think the trailer truly does it justice. The movie was very moving and slightly emotional at times, and very informative and educational without being boring. I recommend this for any teacher, educator or aspiring teachers.

MY TOP 5: JOHN LEGEND SONGS

5. Save Room - Because it's so classic. It's on of those songs that is just so different from whats out right now that it hits you. Also, the sound is very unique and John's voice sounds great over this classic-like sound.


4. Get Lifted


3. Ordinary People - Yeah, so you knew this would make the list. I bet you thought it would be number one huh...wrong. Ordinary People is a great song...the piano keys are a somewhat similar sound to "My Cherie Amour" by Stevie Wonder. I love this song a lot...but not enough for number one.


2. So High - Another one off of John's first album. This song really takes you there. Even if you're not in love this junk will put you on cloud nine. lol. This is JL at his finest.


1. Again - This song is just the shit. lol. It's a slow piano ballad that is very soulful, and laid back. I love it. Light a candle, dim the lights and cut this junk on.


----------- Top three that didn't make the list-------------
1. If You're out There.
2. Another Again
3. Shine

25 Questions before a Serious Commitment

I was sitting back thinking to myself...a lot of times people enter relationships without knowing vital information about the person they are with. You then find yourself getting answers to questions that you wish you would have known before entering the relationship. Nobody wants to later feel like "I can't believe that they feel that way" or "wow...I never knew that", So while you're in the "getting to know you" or "we are getting serious" phase, here are 25 questions that I feel is not often asked before hand, sometimes assumed, and are just very good to have especially in terms of sparking conversation, dialogue and honesty between you and your other.
