The other day, I met a lady who is in a business of charter jets. Her business was quite interesting and we started a conversation. I teased her how she has a glamorous job. She humbly said that she doesn’t meet the people or celebrity who reserve the charter jets. She laughed saying that she only deals with their assistants. I asked her if the current economy has affected her business. She said that usually during Superbowl, she gets really busy reserving the charter jets but this year, even the rich and famous are feeling the economic crunch.

As a young man in my twenties, I have always been a car fanatic. I love cars and mechanics. In fact, I attended an automotive trade school for a couple of years with the intention of getting into the automotive business. Although, I didn’t complete my automotive studies I am still very interested in fixing cars. My friends and family usually ask me advice on fixing their cars.
The economy has been tight and I noticed that more people are keeping their old cars rather than buying new cars. My Dad recently had some car trouble and asked me to take a look at his car engine. I knew right away that what he needed was a new water pump. One of my friends from the automotive school told me about getting car parts from a website called, “247spares.co.uk”. I went online and found great deals on car parts. They offer a huge selection on both used and new car parts for all kinds of car makes and models. Their prices were so cheap that I also got a timing belt kit for my Dad’s car.
Once the car parts came in, I immediately installed them in my Dad’s car. My Dad was so happy with the way his car drives and with the money he saved!

Watching the people gather at the mall in Washington DC is remarkable. Everybody are celebrating the inauguration of our first black American president. We have a lot of hope for the new president but he is facing very tough challenges. To begin with, there are two wars that he has to contend and ofcourse our struggling economy. It took many years for our economy change from having surplus to having a huge deficit. People are saying it will take months and maybe even a year to see better changes in our economy. Already the new president has made some innovative choices in his cabinet. I hope that he makes the right choices and decisions in his presidency.

My brother and I spoke on the phone today and he told me about his new purchase. He bought a brand new car last weekend after driving the same car for fifteen years. His son is graduating from college in the spring and he no longer has to pay for his son’s college tuition. He can now afford to buy a new car. Instead of trading in his old car for pennies at the dealership, he contacted the Philadelphia Red Cross Car Donation. For years, he has been donating clothes, and money to the Philadelphia Red Cross because he it is a responsible and caring organization.
My brother said that he filled out a form online and then called the Philadelphia Red Cross Car Donation in the afternoon. They came and at no cost to my brother, picked up his car on the following day. The car donation experts evaluated his old car and provided him with the best tax deduction. By donating his car, he is able to help people with disabilities and disadvantages to get jobs. This makes my brother feel good that he can help other people through his old car that he has already used for fifteen years!

Today, I’m off from work and is enjoying a nice, sunny day. In a little bit, I’ll get ready to go to my cousins’ house and spend the afternoon barbecuing. I usually look forward to holidays, but this year the Martin Luther King Day is special because it coincides with the year the Mr. Obama will become the first black President. I think I’ll take my nieces and nephews to the King’s Day parade and watch marching bands, etc. I’ll take some time to tell them about the courageous Martin Luther King.
