What I Learned About Homelessness
When my original contract at the company I currently work for ended, I found myself needing a part time job while I was finishing the Data Analytics and Visualization boot camp at UT. I knocked around for a couple days, and found myself standing in a wool coat on the freezing cold floor of a warehouse on Koenig Lane. It was January. Rain hammered the building. I kept my hands shoved in my pockets to keep from shivering as the manager, my manager, gave myself and another applicant the run down of our positions. We were on-boarded almost immediately and started the next week.

How Did Google Get Started
Google turned 23 this month. As I’m 49, it means a lot that I can’t remember a time when Google wasn’t on our desktops, and I remember a time before the internet existed. Googles’ Ap Store, Google Search Engine, Google Play, Google Servers, or just Google the company. Google has become a modern-day tech giant and a part of our culture.

World Changer
I've said it before and I'll say it again. I was born ordinary. Really! Really really ordinary, like if I'd have wanted it, no one would have ever known my name or that I ever existed. I could have played it like that you know. I could have chosen to stay ordinary and hidden in the guise of a regular person pursuing a regular life. But I didn't. You know why? Because some trip lever was triggered in me somewhere back about 35 years ago.

Having disabilities that are not “Disabilities”
I do not know how people do this every day. You who deal with this as well, are the true warriors. I am currently dealing with “the system”, seeking employment in a field I have zero experience in as a 39-year-old woman which seems is next to impossible. “You need a degree”, ok I am working with vocational rehabilitation to get a degree in Business, Check. “We need experience.” Not sure how to get that when no one will take a chance on you. I am extremely intelligent and have “superior” hands-on and reasoning skills. Doesn’t matter. So, I am left unemployed, hunting for someone that can work with my “disabilities.” What are my issues? Well, plantar fasciitis with bone spurs... not a disability but, you can't walk or stand for more than 2 hours. Tendonitis... not a disability but, your ankle can give out on you in a stabbing blinding pain whenever it feels like it. Major depressive disorder is a disability, but you can’t receive any financial assistance outside of vocational rehabilitation with it. Moderate Anxiety disorder, a disability but again, no financial assistance available.
