5 Reasons Ellen DeGeneres Is The Ultimate Role Model

1. She believes in equality for all.

Ellen does not believe that race, sexuality, nor religion affects a person. She believes in equal rights and freedom for everyone. She supports anyone with exceptionalities and goes out of her way to make everyone feel like they are worth so much. She states many times that no one who is considered different is alone.

2. She is beyond kind.

At the end of every show Ellen states, “Be kind to one another.” She has proven that one small act of kindness can change the world. She creates such an amazing atmosphere in her show and never stops smiling.

3. She is giving.

Every show Ellen gives back to someone. Whether it is giving a $200 gift card to her audience or $10,000 to a family in need, she helps everyone and anyone that truly needs it. She finds a way to always put a smile on someone’s face while they are going through the worst.

4. She is beyond brave.

Ellen was the first woman in the industry to come out as being openly gay and received so much grief for it. With all the hateful things people said to her she continued to push forward. She inspired many people to come out and to not be afraid of being his or her self.

5. She is a worldwide idol.

Ellen is loved everywhere around the world. Everywhere that she goes she attracts a large audience because of how much she inspires people. She is an amazing woman who strives to make the world a better place each and every day.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
