I don't share articles that shower me with praise because I'm desperate for recognition, (though I will say, it beats being blamed,) or because I'm very proud of everyone at mikeroweWORKS, but rather, because these articles give me an excuse to thank everyone on this page for helping me spread the word about our current scholarship program, which as you may have heard, is still accepting applications for the current tranche of one million dollars in work ethic scholarships currently available at https://t.co/ju76O0XWgC, where you can apply today for some of that money, assuming of course you want to attend a trade school and not a four year university, which is perfectly fine for some people, but hardly the best path for the most people - a simple truth I also encourage you to share, at this, the end of the longest sentence you'll read today.
Carry on.
