It seems as if I blinked and the end of the 2023-24 school year is upon us. Area seniors are concluding their final days of high school and will receive their diplomas soon. As they embark on their next chapter, I hope they all chase their dreams and hopefully, one day, return to our area communities and thrive. Work hard, try your hardest and always strive to be the best version of yourself.

I read that the Haskell County Historical Society was holding a meeting. It seems the goal is to reenergize the once vibrant historical society and its museum. Community organizations such as this are dependent upon the able and the generous. I hope the meeting was well attended and successful, that a path leading toward a revival was chosen.

Happy May Day!

The practicality of building a resume is not only for young adults graduating from college. Being able to efficiently and cohesively compile your personal and professional experiences into a document to apply for jobs or professional development opportunities is an art that still applies to many adults well into their professional careers. A resume is not designed to list every single skill and experience that you have, but instead to help you obtain a job interview. You can do this by highlighting your skills, strengths, and personal experiences. More than likely, you will be uploading your resume onto an online system that will be reviewed by an Applicant Tracking System software program. This software will organize and rank resumes based on key words and phrases, in turn, gathering resumes of applicants most relevant to the job search.

How often do we allow the negative things around us to overcome us? For me personally, this is something that will consume me and will have negative impacts on other tasks. It seems to have a domino effect and even though I can see it happening, I’m not always able to stop it.

WASHINGTON, D.C. – If you happen to be in a grocery store or gas station in Kansas the next few days, get a good look at the person at the checkout ahead of you. You – and probably your yet-tobe born grandkids – may be paying off that person’s federal student loan.
