Dear Friends,
Well this week, the new governor of Michigan gave his state of the state address to all the people in Michigan. Now from what I read and watched, I can see that he’s going to do more than our former governor. This is not a politician but a real businessman in office. I have seen in Detroit with Mayor Bing that a businessman is better to deal with government than a politician. As I watch not only how Detroit but the state of Michigan move away from the auto industry, I sense that things are never going to be the same. I cannot wait for 2015 or 2020 to come so I can see if Detroit and the state of Michigan can be better.
As I get closer to graduate, I know there is not a lot of work in the state. I want to stay in Michigan but that’s hard to do. I cannot go to Flint or Detroit because of the crime and horrible conditions in those places. I am in Monroe right now and this town is struggling like Detroit or Flint. So for those days of counting down, I have to see if I have a future in Michigan. The governor of Michigan cannot fix everything. He cannot make jobs for all. I know once I graduate, I will have to make work for myself. I cannot find something in my field. Businesses are still laying off employees left and right.
So what now? I have faith in the mayor of Detroit and the Governor of Michigan but will I be here to see a change in Detroit and Michigan. Like with other graduates of college, either I will leave the state or stay and move somewhere else to see if there are jobs there. Only time will tell but I know I cannot wait forever. There will be more to come.
