To My Dad

Even dads need to be recognized

To My Dad
kayla whitcher


Alright I want to give a big shout out to my dad, I know most girls have a better bond with their mother then they do their father which is normal. I just feel that dads don't get recognized for the things they do. My dad is one of the greatest guys you will ever meet, well at least in my eyes he is the best. My dad, to me is someone I can look up and admire, he has taught me so many things through out my life it is crazy to even think about. He is a man that has taught me that life just doesn't hand you things, you have to be able to work for them. Sure my dad and I have had our fights I would yell at him he would yell at me, but in the end we would always be able to say sorry to each other and move on. He has shown me what it means to be a good a person and that sometimes you mess up in life, but you can't let it keep you down you have to get back up brush yourself off and keep going. The most important thing that me dad has done for me is not given up on me, neither of my parents have given up on me. My dad has helped me understand a lot of things about what is going on in the world, and has made me think about what my future is going to look like. So to other people he might look like just a dad that loves his daughter and wants the best for her, even if she doesn't agree with what he wants her to do, but to me he is the dad that has never given up on me and is also pushing me to do better, be better, and work harder. I see see a man who is not only my father, but a man who cares about the people that are around him and will do everything in his power to makes sure the people in his life are happy. I will never be abel to repay my dad for what he has done fore me through out these years, but the best thing I can do for him is take the lessons that he has taught and continue to g through life listening and learning. I know it is jus as scary to see me grow up as it is for me to grow up, in one eye he will see me as the adult i am becoming, but in the other eye I will be his little girl that will always need his protection.

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.
