ASU Advisor Charlie

“It’s not about numbers, it’s about getting you on the right path.” As a graduate from ASU, I’ve always been impressed by the academic support staff. In continuation of that, connecting with academic advisor Charlie over the past few weeks has been incredible. He lived the Golden Rule in every word he said to me.

Careful the Things We Say

This is an account of something I witnessed that was unsettling. The two women were talking in audible voices, easy for others to hear. One woman was behind the register and the other accompanied by an adult male, was purchasing a large amount of items. Their conversation, which was lengthy, focused around declarations about the

Can we please go first?

I was waiting at the red light in my car, when I heard a succession of honking. I looked around and saw a young girl in the car next to me. She was waving at me eagerly. I rolled my window down to understand what was going on. Her mother and her were in the

Golden Lessons from Hurricane Delta

We were all experiencing the same basic things (deprivation of sleep, comfort, certainty) and every person would choose how to interpret it. The letter was slipped under our hotel room door with the words “Mandatory Hurricane Evacuation”. As I read the instructions I fell into a momentary stupor, took a deep breath, then started packing

Misunderstandings

She looked confused standing there. Another a single woman nearby had left her seat and walked rapidly to the front, passing other passengers who were waiting their turn to exit the plane.

Not only were people scare, but visitor centers were closed and large signs directed visitors to the vista. At the Grand Canyon, you have the opportunity to walk the rim, a beautiful experience I’d recommend to anyone. Wheelchair accessible.

Golden Rule Smile in Globe

Her smile was apparent, even behind the mask. I stood in line for the ladies room, a line that was surprisingly long, which gave me the opportunity to watch her interact with customers. Her smile seemed to be a permanent feature on his happy face. I’m not one to leave a question unasked, so I

Mysterious Mask

I was standing there holding my make-shift mask, a pillow case that I’d cut up…a last minute resort to enter the store. I was holding it to my mouth and nose while maneuvering my wallet with one hand. Though difficult, I quickly became impressed at my developing one hand skills. When suddenly a mask landed

Passport Office…at home.

Travelers be aware: passport offices are currently closed. I called the passport office today about an expired passport that replaced a passport I thought I lost, but found ands it’s valid till 2023. So of course I’m wondering, can I use my original passport in lieu of offices being closed? The gold I found today

Sedona Scavenger Hunt

Each list was lengthy and many of the items would be hard to find, but we were all determined to win. The winner of the Sedona scavenger hunt would receive a token of gratitude from each of the competitors. My list of 15 items included, a bottle cap necklace, a 10 year-old can of food
