Dear President Trump,

On Tuesday, November 9th, you were announced as the President-elect and you are currently expected to be inaugurated on Friday, January 20th. When I woke up on Wednesday morning, I wasn't sure what to expect; I decided not to wait for the final announcement, but before I decided to call it a night, you and Hillary Clinton were neck and neck and it could have gone either way. But I woke up on Wednesday morning to anger, disappointment, triumph, and hope.

Your upcoming Presidential term is a mystery to all, and many people are curious, hopeful and terrified for what you hold in store for our country. I don't know what to expect from you in all honesty, and I can't say that I'm not a little concerned. You are not the traditional candidate. You are a businessman, not a politician. It is no secret that you have said some terrible things about women, about other races, about members of the LGBT community. Your comments have terrified many communities and populations; they worry for their future in this country, and I worry for them. There is no way to know what you really are going to do. Many people are rejoicing in your election; many people are protesting and rioting against you. Social media is full of the rejection of you as the next President of the United States; some people are ignorant with their comments, and others are logical and factual.

The fact of the matter is, you are going to lead our country for four years. I want to have hope for the future of this country. There are many unknowns and that fact is terrifying. Citizens of The United States have no idea how to handle your election. So I have a request of you. You want to make America great again. So do it. I urge you to remember that this country is a melting pot: we are full of so many diverse individuals. I want you to prove your objectors and protesters wrong; there are some members of this country who believe you have what it takes to lead this country. I won't lie and say that I disagree, because I am skeptical. But I am giving you the benefit of the doubt. You have two months before your inauguration, which means you have two months to change people's minds about you. I don't mean you should lie to them, but rather, you should prove that there is some hope for our country.

So here is me giving you the benefit of the doubt and asking you to prove everyone wrong.

Sincerely,

A young, millennial, American woman.
