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.........

So I am a banker so part of my job is to help people make decisions regarding their finances. Many times my branch will have events scheduled where we go to organizations and try to talk to people about our products and services. One of the several characteristics that separates me from others is, I have a PASSION for educating people about the importance of being bankable as well as informing others on how to manage their money. I am an advocate for Financial Literacy and talking to the parents at the school truly opened my eyes to see how much of a need this is. So I had a table with the bank name, we had some giveaways like popular character stickers for the kids, some fake tattoos and eco friendly bags. My company was the only bank there but the other businesses were Tutoring Services at least 5 - 6 different ones. W...
