Marie Jo’s Multiculturalism

By Anthony Calderon

There’s nothing on Earth more frustrating than trying to communicate with someone who

doesn’t speak your language. We’ve all been on that one nightmare vacation where it seems like

the translation book you bought for your big trip abroad is about eight editions behind the

Marie Jo has an aerial view of people. She sees the common thread that binds us and keeps us all

Astronaut John Glenn was asked what was the biggest change in his life after having travelled in

Space, and his reply was that he finally realized that Earth is really just one big community... He

came back to our Planet with a deep love for Humankind... Unfortunately, most of us won’t be

able to fly into Space to have our epiphany about treating all Human Beings equally and fairly.

The best we can do is hopefully learn from Earthbound individuals who have already discovered

And what a relief it is to know that you have a Realtor who will go that extra mile for you just in

language online at night just so she can communicate with you better... The bottom line with

be here…” This beautiful line exemplifies Marie Jo’s point of view about what it means for all of

us to be living and working together in harmony… So, if you’re ready for an enjoyable
