Thomas Saelens, Site Manager
I once heard that man is the only living
organism, other than cancer, that
consumes more than they need to survive.
That may be a product of
elevated
intelligence and ability to live for wants and
not just needs. There may not be anything
wrong with this, however balance is the
spice that human nature applies to life.
Maybe we need to rebalance our human
perspective and reach out to help others.
One of the reasons I chose to leave the
private sector, where I had a comfortable life and job, was to impact
and improve people through education and human development.
The world is now a global community and must realize that
everything is connected to everything else. With more people
consuming, connecting, and creating their future we all must look at
individual behavior and learn to elevate not only our skills but our
wisdom, compassion and empathy for our fellow man and woman.
What can I do, I am only one person? It does seem daunting to
change the world by yourself. The ocean is created by man drops
of water, the desert by many grains of sand, and change is created
by one thoughtful action at a time by many people. Small steps
begin big change.
I want to share some ideas that you may be able to do to help
others and take the first small steps on a sojourn of change to make
the world a better place; one interaction at a time.


Encourage a friend to attend college; Change is difficult and
each needs support and sometimes encouragement. I am
sure each of you know someone that could change their life if
they invested in themselves. Talk to them, tell them to come
into MCC and talk about career options or classes. Give them
my name, Thomas Saelens, my phone and email address.
810 762 0207 or thomas.saelens@mcc.edu.
The wonderful thing about MCC: Is it helps every type of
student looking for any type of career without any pressure or
risk. Community colleges like MCC, are designed to help with
a career or skill even if it requires you to eventually attend a
different college. We want to identify needs and help achieve
life goals. I am sure each of you has someone in your life that
needs a nudge. Do not be afraid to help them reach the first
step that may change their world and ours!
Promote giving and sharing by making things and gifts: It
is not the present but the thought and connection within that
present that bring meaning and happiness to most people. My
daughter once wrote me a poem and placed it in a picture
frame with family photographs. This was more powerful and
beautiful then something manufactured and sold in a store.


Practice doing something good every day (related to the first one):
Studies have proven that doing something good for someone returns the
feeling to the giver. So try to do something small every day. Encourage
someone, provide your expert insight, give guidance, donate your time,
and show those in your circle of influence that compassion and caring is
the strongest measure of someone’s value to society.
Be mindful and pay attention: to what is going on around you. Awareness of the simple but powerful impact of people on others and the world
can be enlightening. Understanding takes awareness of what is happening, what is missing and what is possible. This will build the power of
empathy.
Respect others' opinions: The political dysfunction in Washington is a
reflection of our national and individual respect to one another. Opinions
on spending, healthcare, gun control, and government have been cemented into irretraceable entrenched ideological positions that poison social
solutions to these and other issues. This type of behavior is not how a
civil and responsible culture responds to difficulty or differences. Cooperation and understanding should be admired. Listen and empathize with
others. Respond with a dignified and polite answer. You would be
amazed at how you can find common ground when you respect others.
Right is not always as clear as we think: Proverbs 12:15, the way of a
fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkened unto counsel is wise.”
To paraphrase, stupid people always think they are right. Wise people
listen to advice. Just because someone speaks with confidence or has
power does not mean he has wisdom; how we respond is crucial. A foolish person is 'quick' to condemn what they do not understand. A wise
person is 'slow' to condemn what they do understand. Be mindful that
your actions may be as foolish as those you judge as fools. Be patient
and work with those that oppose you or your views.
Be willing to sacrifice individual advantage for the good of the larger
community: We have become of society of individual mandates, vested
interest groups, and fragmented competing groups that care only for a
narrow benefit. We want everything to make us or our group richer, more
comfortable, or better off, but rarely want to sacrifice for the benefit of
others or the larger cause of the family, community or nation. To correct
complex economic, social, and environmental problems we must look
outside of our comfort zone and be willing to do things that are not easy.
President Kennedy said it best, “ask not what your country can do for you
but what you can do for your country”.
Take long term solutions over short term benefits: Impatient and
immediate results are replete within our culture. Teach patience and the
wisdom of looking at the long term results our actions will produce. This is
a personal, political, and corporate weakness within our country. For
example, many corporations and CEO’s will cut wages and expenses to
increase short term profits to help the stock price and the value of their
stock options. In the long term they sacrifice the benefits and wages of
their employees, the very people that need to make strong wages to buy
their products in the future. Henry Ford was thought a fool by his
corporate peer’s by increasing the daily wage of his factory workers to
$5.00 per day. Education is a long term benefit that requires a short term
sacrifice…remember this.
Try to make an enemy into a friend: We fear and hate what we do not
understand. Never judge someone unless you have walked in their
shoes. Criticisms and judgment is easy but fails to reflect the warmth and
courage of human depth, fails to produce solutions, and builds walls
between people and ideas. Being intelligent does not always bring
wisdom, the heart and mind must work together so that the hands of
humanity can build.

Gateway to College is
designed for young adults
ages
16-24
who
have
dropped out of high school or
are significantly behind in
credits for their age and not
on track to graduate. This
program is a national initiative
brought to Flint through a partnership between Mott Community
College and the Flint Community Schools. The program allows
students to complete their high school diploma requirements on a
college campus while simultaneously earning college credits towards a degree or certificate.
Students are placed into small learning communities during their
first semester (s), and together they take classes in reading, writing, math and college skills. Upon completion of the “Foundation”
courses students transition and begin taking classes with the general student population. All classes are conducted on Mott Community College campus and are taught by college faculty. Students
are simultaneously working toward a high school diploma and a
college degree or certificate.
Gateway to College empowers youth who have dropped out of high
school or who are not on track to graduate on time to earn a diploma
and dual credit in a supported college environment.

As temperatures rise and snow recedes from our favorite
outdoor places, the landscape springs to life with active wildlife,
The Department of Public Safety is conducting two bicycle
rodeos this month. One at Scott Elementary School in
Flint and the other at Chatfield School in Lapeer. Below
are several of the sponsors for these events. We’ll be
sharing with the second and third grade students what
every young bicyclist should know. Many of those things
apply to adult riders too. Here are some of the things adult
bicycle riders should know.
fields of flowers and severe weather. Heavy rains, high winds,
lightning and extreme temperature variations are common
weather conditions during spring. The key to staying safe and
enjoying these early-season adventures is to “know before you
go.” Here are a few safety tips for some common spring-time
weather events.
Thunderstorms and Lightning
Thunderstorms can develop quickly and are always associated
with lightning. If you hear thunder, lightning is close enough to
strike and you should seek shelter immediately. Here are some
important safety tips if you are outdoors during a thunderstorm.
 Avoid open fields, the top of a hill or a ridge top.
Always wear a helmet. The helmet should
be well-fitting; level on the head with 2
fingers above the eyebrow, “V” under the ear
and 2 fingers between the strap and the
chin.

When riding on a street you should act as a
vehicle and follow the same rules. Bicyclists
should ride with traffic on the right side.


When riding on a side or trail bicyclists
should ride to the right, single file and yield
to walkers. Call out “on your left”, when
passing walkers. Watch for vehicles backing
out of or turning into driveways,


Bicyclists must signal all turns and stopping
Stay away from tall, isolated trees or other tall objects. If
you are in a forest, stay near a lower stand of trees..
If you are in an open area, go to a low place such as a
ravine or valley. Be alert for flash floods.
If you are on open water, go to land and find shelter
immediately.
Stay away from water and metal objects, which are both
excellent conductors of electricity.
If you are anywhere you feel your hair stand on end (which
indicates that lightning is about to strike), squat low to the
ground on the balls of your feet. Place your hands over
your ears and your head between your knees. Make
yourself the smallest target possible and minimize your
contact to the ground. DO NOT lie flat on the ground.
Heat
Watch for obstacles and debris in the road.
Be prepared to take action to avoid them.
Follow these safety tips to avoid heat-related injuries.
 Slow down. Reduce, eliminate or reschedule strenuous
activities until the coolest time of the day.
 Dress for summer. Wear lightweight, light-colored clothing
to reflect heat and sunlight.
 Put less fuel on your inner fires. Foods, like meat and other
proteins that increase metabolic heat production also
increase water loss.
 Drink plenty of water, non-alcoholic and decaffeinated
fluids. Your body needs water to keep cool. Drink plenty of
fluids even if you don't feel thirsty.
 During excessive heat periods, spend more time in
air-conditioned places if possible.
 Don't get too much sun. Sunburn reduces your body's
ability to dissipate heat.
Do the ABC’s of bike maintenance. Make
sure your tires have Air and they are inflated
to recommended pressure on the side of the
tire. Make sure your Brakes will stop your
bike. Make sure your Chain is working
properly and that the Cranks are bolted on
tight.
