Regaining Confidence


Finally starting to feel like my confidence is back.  For most part, I feel fine, it's just that I feel like the tires are slipping from under me when riding.  Now I know most of that is psychological, and in reality, nothing is happening, but it's not as easy to get over that while riding, than just saying it in your head.  So what I've been doing is going on loner rides through Polamares Canyon in Castro Valley and with each run, picking up a little more speed, and leaning over more and more.  This most recent run was a lot more enjoyable.  I also think that was partly due to the weather being warmer.  I was really apprehensive the time prior because I thought I had seen ice on the roads.  Again, it's all in the head

#OccupyStudentDebt

#OccupyStudentDebt is a movement that is gaining plenty of traction as of lately.  Similar to the #OccupyWallStreet movement, this particular group is comprised of, I believe, hundred of thousands, if not millions, more individuals who are fed up and want to see a change.  Massive Student Debt affects many people, just as the inequalities created by unjust practices in the banking and finance industry.  With this movement, however, it is seemingly much more clear to what the problem is.  People borrow money to attend instituions of higher education, only to be inundated with bills they are unable to pay, upon completion of their degree.

Some are able to find jobs; some aren't. I was one of the fortunate ones to find a job out of Graduate School.  Might I add, the job doesn't pay nearly enough to cover the cost of loans.  Simply put, I will be dead before the loan is paid off!

To get a better picture of just what is going on, visit occupystudentdebt.com/ and there you will get a personal glimpse into what the system has created.
