An Open Letter To My Superhero... Wait, I mean My Dad
Hannah Call

Dear Daddy,

When someone asks you, "What is a Superhero to you," the first thing that pops into your mind is somebody that can fly, somebody that has some supernatural power, or somebody who puts on a costume and saves Gotham City. However, when asked the same question, the first person I think of is you. Maybe you can't fly and maybe you don't have a costume up in your closet that allows you to turn in to this supernatural human (or maybe you do and I haven't found out yet). But, you are the most amazing man I have ever known. You are my protecter. You are my teacher. You are my coach. You are my father.

From the day I was born, you ensured that I had the best life possible. Well, I'm here to tell you, I do have the best life possible and without you, it wouldn't be so worth it. Like Thor, you are strong when I am down. Like Batman, always reminding me if I set my mind on something, I can always achieve the task at hand. Like Spiderman, always "webbing" the family together. Like Captain America, always being a leader and showing dedication to everything set in front of you. Like Iron Man, through your intelligence and knowledge. Last, but definitely not least, Deadpool, the funniest character but tends to get annoying (of course I'm going to say that, I'm your daughter).

If I had to pick my favorite superhero, I'd choose Spiderman. No, I'm kidding. I'd choose you. I know you may be annoying at times or over protective. But, I get it. You're my Dad and that's what Dads' do. So, thank you. Thank you for meeting all the boys who didn't work out, or as you would say, "Not good enough for my daughter." Thank you for dealing with the constant attitude. Thank you for pushing me everyday to be the best me possible. Thank you for providing me with all the materials I need to succeed. Thank you for teaching me how to play softball. Thank you for always making sure I have air in my tires. The list could go on forever. But, most importantly, thank you for loving me unconditionally.

Before I finish, I want to say one more thing that I'm thankful for. I know you are probably already crying. Actually, I know you're crying. I'm almost done, I promise. I want to specifically thank you for showing me what true love really is. The way you love my mom is magical. The way you make her laugh is like no other. After so many years of marriage, you continue to talk about her as if the wedding was yesterday. You allow me to see what a true husband looks like. You have love like Superman and Lois Lane. You are everything I want in my future partner. I hope they love fishing and Ohio State football just as much as you.

You're my Superhero and I love you.

With love and a little attitude,

Your daughter

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
