Explosive Population Growth
In 2011, 7 billion people will populate planet Earth. – National Geographic Have you ever thought about how many people can the earth sustain?

Kindergarten Failure
I’m an undergrad. Never attained the simplest, essential certification that would have landed me to high-paying jobs later in life. Had I succeeded getting the diploma, maybe my fate would have been different from what is unfolding now. I confess I didn’t graduate in any of the kindergarten schools I enrolled in.

An Anniversary Post
Has it been a year since my handsome web designer posted this? “The website will be filled with thoughts, ponders, rants and scribbles of Issa. (I’m sure of it.) You might also run into some pictures of her tutees, workmates and adventures. Poems and stories and more.” How pushy, I thought (haha). It turned out,…
