Appreciating My Dad For Father's Day
Alexa Valdez

Dad,

Where do I even begin?

You are my dad, my twin, my inspiration, my first love.

Let me just start out by saying that I am an extremely lucky person. I grew up with both of my parents who were very supportive of me.

My dad is the reason that I work so hard to get ahead in life. The person who has literally sacrificed everything so that my siblings and I could have a better life than he did.

I cannot wait to graduate next year because all of my accomplishments are thanks to him and my mom pushing me to do my best all of these years.

My dad always taught me to appreciate everything that I have because he never had it. You name it - new clothes, food, an education. My Dad has worked hard his whole life for his family and I am forever grateful.

My dad is not just a hard worker, but he is hilarious. He always knows how to light up a room. He is always the life of the party and he is unapologetic of that. My dad is not afraid to be himself and I love that about him.

I have so many wonderful memories with my Dad that makes me appreciate my childhood. Whether it was playing sports outside like soccer, basketball or beach volleyball. My dad can do it all. He is so good at playing sports.

My dad is an amazing cook. Even though I don't live with my dad anymore, I always love to go over to eat for dinner. My Dad makes the best Mexican food. Honestly, I have never had Mexican food as good as Dad's. Don't even get me started on his salsa, it is amazing.

There are so many great things about my dad that I love so much. He is kind. He is so smart.

Papi, quiero que sepas que tu eres mi inspiracion. I am so proud of all of your accomplishments and just know that I will always be here for you.

Te quiero mucho.

Love,

Tu Prieta

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.
