SUMMARY: The writer expresses deep affection for Mississippi and its contributions to the arts and culture, while acknowledging the state's challenges, especially regarding hunger. In response to a local mission pantry's crisis, the writer initiated a practical solution, Extra Table, to combat food insecurity with efficient principles: all funds raised for food go to food purchase, and the food delivered is healthy. The nonprofit organization grew quickly, focusing on regular, nutritious food deliveries to various agencies and addressing hunger throughout the year. The writer highlights the generosity of Mississippians and encourages donations to continue assisting those in need through extratable.org.

SUMMARY: State lawmakers have approved $175 million to expand Highway 7 to four lanes in Mississippi's fastest-growing region. Oxford Mayor Robyn Tannehill announced the funding, which aims to widen the highway from Belk Boulevard to the Highway 7/9 roundabout, following a unanimous vote on House Bill 1826. The move responds to decades of lobbying by Lafayette County officials amid increasing traffic and reported accidents. The area has seen dramatic growth, with Oxford's population booming by 102% since 2000 and an anticipated 24% by 2030. Efforts intensified after inviting state lawmakers to witness rush-hour congestion, underscoring the infrastructure's necessity.

SUMMARY: The “Where do you see yourself in five years?” question can intimidate young professionals, particularly when it follows major life changes like relocation. The key is understanding that there are no bad opportunities—success lies in proactive networking and development. Joining professional groups and seeking mentorship can propel career growth. For example, participating actively in a Young Professionals organization led to a chance meeting with a future employer. It's essential to seek out and take control of opportunities, setting goals, and embracing smaller steps that can lead to significant advances. In career advancement, the critical question is how to create your own opportunities, not just where you envision yourself.
