we are an inspiration to others.....

Today after leaving work I hung out with my friend Lavine. We went to my favorite taco restaurant Pepe's and had a good meal and then drove over to Western to look at this storefront that her friend is rehabbing. After that we went back to her house so I could help her with her school paper. She has enrolled at Chicago State University to finish her Bachelor Degree. We had a long three hour brainstorming session on what she wants to major in. In my opinion she has an eye for Fashion and would be a great Fashion Designer from clothing to home decor. I didn't realize that I was an inspiration to her until she told me that evening. I have finished by undergrad degree and I'm currently working on starting the masters program at Keller Graduate, I guess you get so caught up in your own life that we sometimes don't pay attention to the people standing on the sidelines watching our paths. I am proud that I can help motivate a friend to go back to school or strive for a better career. We all inspire are an inspiration to others....I am sure someone in your life helped motivate you to move forward by starting your own business, or going back to school, or whatever your journey in life may be....someone before you has created a door that help you made the decision to walk through it :)......until next time.........

Choosing the Correct Filing Status It’s important to use the right filing status when you file your tax return. The status you choose can affect the amount of tax you owe for the year. It may even determine if you must file a tax return. Keep in mind that your marital status on Dec. 31 is your status for the whole year. Sometimes more than one filing status may apply to you. If that happens, choose the one that allows you to pay the least amount of tax. 1. Single. This status  normally applies if you aren’t married. It applies if you are divorced or legally separated under state law. 2. Married Filing Jointly. If you’re married, you and your spouse can file a joint tax return.
