Lifeline
There are points in every person's life where they might feel that things are quickly spiraling out of control. People must be self-confident and self-reliant in order to get ahead in this life. This understanding tends to create relationships where we push people away. When trouble comes, it is possible to find ourselves alone, so bent upon personal progress that we neglect interpersonal relationships. Sometimes it is simply impossible to keep going alone. It is necessary to find people that can be counted upon because no one completely succeeds without the help of others. In my life, it was within the business world where someone reached out and gave me a much needed lifeline and helped me overcome a situation which I simply was unable to deal with on my own.

I got the courage to call my uncle up and ask if he would help me out with getting into the Philadelphia Electrical Union Local #98 and employment. He told me the requirements of applying for the apprenticeship with the union and told me that everything was going to be okay. These kind words were the encouragement that I needed to hear at that time of my life. In the spring of 1990 I was accepted into the International Brotherhood of Electrical workers local # 98 and I was excited to start my new career as an electrical apprentice. After completing my apprenticeship, which took five years, my uncle and I went to dinner with our families and…
While God’s word was delivered to specific people at a specific time in a specific place, the quality of the Word is such that it lives on and can be applied to all people in every place in every time.

4 trillion and $3.6 trillion, an impressive boost to the U.S. economy in those years, the IPC explains.

S. were "proficient in reading and math," Pytel explains. These statistics "loudly states that students entering high school" are simply not prepared, Pytel goes on.

The justification for focusing on strategies to keep children interested in school
Black women enjoy most of these same relationships, which the study creators did not anticipate. The studies also discovered that even those aging blacks with few family members are good at establishing a network of close friends and distant relatives for support and kinship. For example, the study found if a man has no children, he might become increasingly close to his nieces, nephews, and cousins in an attempt

The PCIP was formed from the recognition that high costs and low quality inherent in the Healthcare system of the U.S. is largely due to a system that is antiquated and fragmented (DOHMH, 2006a).
