The world is short-staffed
Depending on where you live, it might be hard for you to tell but the world is short-staffed. You may be in a buzzing city, crowded all the time so it would be difficult for you to believe this but overall, the world is short staffed and it doesn’t matter what industry you are talking about. In this article, I am going to cover the hardest hit industries, but before that, let’s try to understand the “why” first.

The maths teacher, he tried to speak with my father then back. Nothing came good of that! Quite the contrary. So latter, when he, my father, moved in a small city, where i went further to another high school, and he put me out, i had the occasion or the luck, to ''land '' at the door of my cousin and her brother, after 1 am in the night! I had a small luggage. And trembling from fear and cold! Her brother was married with 2 children there and his sister in 2 rooms. Somehow, there was found a place for me! I will not tell you the reason my father throw me out. Or maybe I should?

Two girls, one library, and a hunger for worlds beyond your own - Part 2
During elementary school, we sometimes had to move. For entire seasons. Entire school semesters. When the drought came one year, a bird disease also appeared. Grandma, one of the most famous breeders in our village, for birds, chickens, and geese, lost everything! And we lost the peace of of mind for the next day. We had to move to another village. Near our Aunt, sister of my father.

The Time I Never Had
There are things you understand late, sometimes too late. Like the fact that I grew up long before I was old enough. Not by choice. Not to prove anything. Just because life pushed me there. In a few weeks, I will be 32. And yet, deep inside, something resists, something asks for the time I never had.

Supreme Court Ruling on Tariffs Redefines the Future of Trade Policy
Supreme Court Ruling on Tariffs Redefines the Future of Trade Policy The Supreme Court decision on tariffs marks a critical turning point in the relationship between law, politics, and economic policy in the United States. Tariffs have historically been used as a strategic tool to protect domestic industries, influence foreign governments, and respond to global economic pressures. However, as tariffs increasingly affect consumers, businesses, and international relations, their legality and scope have come under intense judicial scrutiny. The Court’s ruling provides long-awaited clarity on how far tariff authority can extend and who ultimately controls it.

I Learned Too Early That Life Does Not Wait for the Poor
I learned very early in life that time moves differently when you are poor. For some people, life feels like a wide road with many choices. For people like me, it felt like a narrow path where every wrong step had consequences. I grew up watching adults around me struggle quietly, carrying heavy responsibilities on their backs while pretending everything was normal.

I Was a Good Kid. Really I Was!
I was a good kid growing up. Well, for the most part. As I reminisce on my childhood, I honestly can’t recall doing anything that got me into trouble or scolded for. Of course, ask my parents and they might tell you a completely different story.

Childhood Confession: I Was Afraid of Something So Silly
Most of us were afraid of something when we were little. A lot of times, that fear was common, like that monster in the closet that you always had your parents check for or that chair with a pile of clothes on it that looked like a a witch or some for creature as soon as you turn the lights out.

After He Was Gone: Part 2
Distance Returned Without Warning After campus, I moved to a different city for work, and just like that, the distance returned. Not just the physical miles between us, but the emotional space that had once felt like a canyon. Life moved quickly with new responsibilities and new routines, and the noise of becoming an adult filled my days. The calls became fewer. The visits became fewer than the calls.
