  13. Monday Morning • I didn't ask for it. I didn't want it. Regardless - I got it. Monday, Facebook turned a halogen spotlight on the dim backyard of my online social life. … No longer! Now every student barricaded into a dorm room can enjoy the buzz off a double shot of gossip every morning before breakfast without the social inconvenience of getting to know more than a handful of people on their floor. The small town environment has returned. Collin Megil, The Daily Campus (U. Connecticut)

  22. Self Esteem Through Positive Influence Perfect Image Leadership Foundation1905 Terminal DriveRichland, WA 99354 ph: 509 946-3272fx: 509-943-4131GOALPerfect Image Leadership Foundation is dedicated to the development of self-esteem in young people. The goal is to provide a program that will instill traditional values, such as etiquette and leadership skills, to enable young people to interact in social settings in the community and work environments. IMPACTThe Foundation is organized exclusively for educational purposes. The target audience for this program is high school and early college level students with a desire to improve their ability to interact positively with peers, mentors, educators, and potential employers. The Foundation not only provides a program to instill etiquette and leadership skills in students, it also works with local employers interested in hiring young people for their technical abilities and soft skills. As a result, young people get higher paying, better quality jobs and the employers get employees who exhibit leadership and can interact with the public in a positive manner. COMMUNITYAs a community, we are able to take stress off the state welfare system and volunteer organizations supporting the chronically poor, thereby helping to relieve generational welfare. The impact of instilling self-esteem in young people, who will use these values to help others rise to a better quality of life, is beyond measure. Perfect Image Leadership Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization
