Be inventive, and have fun. Just remember that your objective is to VOTE for the people and by the people, and to vote as early as possible on election day for you, your family and the future of your community and our country.

If your public servant disappointed you in any way, shape or form. Vote them out of office.

MULTILINGUAL WORLD

Submitted by ub on

My family came to this country from Cuba and at home, we spoke Spanish. My parents demanded it in their home; we all stuck with this demand. As an adult, I married a Chinese born wife and as a result, I am now multilingual and multicultural in a world that's no longer monolingual.

There are plenty of benefits, when it comes to working in a world that's slowly transitioning into a place where language plays a big part in marketing, business and networking.
