Hub You - The Story of Allison
The invention of the Internet has changed the way in which we conduct business. We don’t always have to meet face to face or attend meetings or have lunch. We don’t even have to have the phone conversations that we had ten to fifteen years ago. Questions can be answered over email. Answers can be found by looking up a company’s web site. Our dealings are different these days. However, whether you communicate solely online or just part of the time, your image is still being promoted. Attention needs to be focused on the way that your email and

Iran has failed to give up its Atomic Bomb making and continues in defiance to enrich uranium from Chinese Stock; obviously this cannot be allowed, as they have already promised to blow Israel off the map as soon as they have a Nuclear Weapon. How soon will that be?Some say October and yet the United Nations wants to give them until August to comply. Meanwhile the United States of American and her allies have given them until July 5, 2007. That is moving up the time-table a bit and is aimed at getting the Iranians to commit and showing that no
Here's a story that might help a little.
About three years ago one of my students (we'll call her Allison) was a senior. She came from a divorced family where neither parent had gone to college. She didn't know much about how the system worked.
Of course, she went through all the workshops her high school's guidance department offered. she listened to all the returning graduates coming back for Thanksgiving vacation.
She got lots of stories about what was a good college experience and what should be "do-overs".
Allison was a good student...a B average. Her S.A.T. scores were also pretty good...just over 1000. She had lots of options.
So what should Allison do?
Allison didn't care much about the size of the school she went to, but she wanted it in a large metropolitan area. Since she lived about two hours from New York City, she thought that might be nice.
She also thought she might like to major in business, since she didn't particularly enjoy science or math and she liked the business side of her job at a sit-down restaurant.
Beyond that, Allison didn't give the college search process much thought until November of her senior year.
Big mistake.

Most people just don't get it when it comes to email marketing. They think they can blast someone with information and just list features and benefits and that person will magically convert into a sale. Well...they're wrong. Unless you understand that people are being bombarded with advertising everyday and they're sick of being sold something all the time, you're in for a long internet marketing journey!The key to succeeding with email marketing is to speak to someone like you would talk to a friend. And then, to invite them to check some

If you thought a mountain cabin was just a place to get away from it all and relax for a few days or weeks-you might want to think again. Research has shown that removing an individual from the pollution produced by automobiles, industrial production, and other factors common to those living in a metropolitan area, and putting them in a better setting like a mountain cabin, can make them healthier and less prone to conditions such as asthma and stress related illnesses. Stress can also be a factor in aggravating asthma. Therefore, if you have asth

After listening to the Executive Branch –VS- Media all month I now realize that our democracy is not rocket science. The issue is who knew what and when did they know it concerning the Iraqi war, right? Well, let’s start with the Executive Branch of our government and the agencies that report to them like the CIA, FBI, and IRS. President George W. Bush stated that he was a “War President” nationwide.The CIA and the FBI are responsible for the information to justify the United States having a war for the “War President.” The day President G
Big mistake.
As I'm sure you know from term papers, the closer you get to something's due date, the more nervous you get about doing it, and the more you become willing to settle for any old choice, so long as you're doing SOMETHING!
So one day Allison got a letter from a really nice college in the NYC area that specialized in business degrees. A good college...nothing wrong with it.
It also cost $28,000 a year. Is that a good investment?
Sure it is...if a college has EXACTLY what you're looking for. If the major is perfect, if the atmosphere is perfect, if you have fallen in love with the place...
...if you think it will put you in a REALLY good position to compete in the economic world when you graduate.
And if you're very rich or you're willing to go into debt up to your eyeballs for a very long time.
Because even with financial aid, you've still got enough loans to choke a pig.
So what did Allison do?
She made Mistake Number Two.
Without looking at any other colleges, she decided to apply to that one and that one only. Since it was not a very selective college, she got in easily.
And they gave her a SCHOLARSHIP! $1500!
Great...now she only had $26,500 per year to pay.
Despite the pleas of her guidance counselor and the misgivings of her mom, she decided this was the col
