A Brief Interaction With Lara Trump

The Carolina girl hits the campaign trail.

A Brief Interaction With Lara Trump

I was able to witness Lara Trump, the wife of Eric Trump, speak on behalf of Donald Trump last week in Hillsborough, North Carolina. She confidently greeted a small crowd composed of men and women of all ages outside of a small, locally owned motel. Originally from Wilmington, North Carolina, she seemed right at home in the tiny town and made an effort to show some southern hospitality by shaking each of our hands.

Here is a segment of what she had to say:

“My father-in-law decided a year-and-a-half ago that he was going to run for president because he did not like what he saw happening in this country. He kept opening up the newspaper, turning on the television, and he saw this country crumbling before his eyes, just like we all did, and he said, ‘Guys, we have to do something. Because Donald Trump is a man who when he sees a problem, he wants to fix it. And that is exactly why he got into this race—because we have 95 million Americans out of work, we have $150 billion we’re giving to countries that hate us, we have $20 trillion worth of debt, an education system ranked thirtieth in the world. These are things we should not have in the country; this is the United States of America. And that is why Donald Trump said, ‘I have to get involved, I want to fix this,’ and I think, ladies and gentlemen—I don’t have to tell you—that if there is anyone that can fix the problems in this country, it is Donald J. Trump.”

Her message was concise, nonabrasive, and supportive. Amidst a volatile election season, it was refreshing to see a smile on the campaign trail. Her message consisted of no hatred or spite—just a young, professional, successful woman advocating for her father-in-law.

She’s an animal rights activist, a former personal trainer, a graduate of NC State, and she works with her husband’s charity that benefits St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital.

She posed for several photos with those in attendance, including a really adorable Corgi.




When asked how long she has been married to Eric Trump, she responded, “Two years on Election Day.”

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.
