We remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr.We remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr.We remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr.We remember Dr Martin Luther King Jr.

Martin Luther King Jr. has now been dead longer than he lived. But what an

extraordinary life it was. He would have been 83 this year.

Born Jan. 15, 1929, in Atlanta, Georgia . Dr Martin Luther King Jr . was a

Baptist minister and social activist who led the civil rights movement in the

United States from the mid-1950s until his death by assassination in 1968.

His leadership was fundamental to that movement's success in ending the legal

segregation of African Americans in the South and other parts of the United

States. King promoted nonviolent tactics, such as the massive March on

Washington in 1963, to achieve civil rights.

At 33, he was pressing the case of civil rights with President John Kennedy.

At 34, he galvanized the nation with his "I Have a Dream" speech.

At 35, he won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1964.

At 39, he was assassinated on April 4, 1968, in Memphis, Tennessee.

However, he left a legacy of hope and inspiration that continues today.

We hope that you all will take this day as a day on, not a day off...to think about

the truths you hold dear, the inner strength you possess, and the things you can

do to make a difference in this world. We all have the power to make change for

ourselves, and for others, if we only look deep within and find the spark that will

light our way. Anything is possible if you believe it is.

In the remembrance of this great man we wish to leave you with a quote:

I refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starlessI refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starlessI refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starlessI refuse to accept the view that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless

Career Guide by Alex Tarasar

Happy New Year! Often people use the New

Year as a time to reflect on whats happened over the past year, look to the

next year to make goals, and to change habits. The New Year is a greattime to think about what you want to be doing not just next year, but in

the future overall. Getting a job is a top priority for a lot of different peo-

ple that I work with. We all want to be able to make enough money to

have a place to live, meet our needs, and have some extra money to cover

emergencies, or to spend having fun!

Most people also want a job that they enjoy doing, because if you

spend 40 hours a week doing something, ideally youll like it! This is

where careers come in to play. A career more long term, and usually is insomething specific. For instance, being an electrician is a career whereas

working in fast food likely is not. Often careers need special training, like

college, trade school, or a certification.

But what if you dont know what you want to do in the future?

How can you start to figure it out? Start by considering this. The best jobs

or careers for you will be one that fits into your natural talents, abilities,

and passions. So, if you really like working with your hands, a career in

construction or as a mechanic, will probably be a better fit than sitting be-

hind a desk. But what if you cant identify what youre good at? Here is agreat resource: http://www.mynextmove.org/

You can take a short survey, and the site will generate careers that

fit your skills and abilities. If you already have some idea of what you

want to do, like healthcare or self employed it will show you a

HUGE list of possible careers in that field. It also explains if it looks like

that job/career/field is adding jobs, what kind of schooling or apprentice-

ships youd need, how much money people make on average in the job,

and what knowledge, skills, abilities, are applied. It even says what kindof personality traits people who do well in that field need!

And wait, it gets better. It even can find programs

(either schools, or apprenticeship sites)

for you to get the training you need!

Mockingbird Welcomes

Selona Willett!

We would like to take a moment to introduce Selona

Willett, our new full time Mockingbird Resource Special-ist. Selona comes to us from Portland, Oregon where she

has spent the last seven and a half years as a Foster Care

Support Specialist in the Pathways to Adulthood program

at the Native American Youth and Family Center.

There Selona helped to provide Independent Living

Program services as well as other foster care support

services to Native youth.

During her search for a new position in the south Puget

Sound area, Selona was drawn to the Mockingbird Society

due to her familiarity with The Mockingbird Times in her

previous position.

In her free time, Selona enjoys traveling, reading and a va-

riety of outdoor activities.We are very excited to have Selona joining us!

Stop by the ILS office and meet our newest addition to the
