Dear Donald Trump, Could You Not?

Stop leaving broken families throughout the Country.

In times of crisis I turn to you. You're the President of The United State, yet you act like a fool. You have racists in your cabinet, and while your supporters went as far to protect you and say that you aren't racist, you truly are.

You say you are a man of the people, yet you choose to kick those who keep this country strong out. You say you want to 'make America great again', yet those who have made America great again, are being persecuted and sent back to places they no longer call home. They may not be American citizens or hold a simple green card to prove that they are legal, but they are more American than anyone else. They love this land and work hard to live day in and day out in it. Their children educate themselves, learn the American way, speak perfect english (some better than many American born) and go on and get a diploma, just like the American dream promised. They celebrate the Fourth of July with pride and joy, and sing the anthem with love in their hearts. Yet your supporters and yourself want to kick them out.

I ask myself why, but I know the answer. The answer is that you are scared. You're scared that these latinos are taking your jobs and education. But the truth is, they really aren't. These immigrants have less chances to make a better life for themselves, yet they fight hard to do so. They don't have the same privileges as an American Citizen, yet they work hard so they can get close to even some kind of privilege. You bash immigrants for being rapists, criminals, and job stealers; but that is only a minority. What if we looked at white people as school shooters and lazy, but we don't. Then why look at a small amount of immigrants as rapists? I need you to realize that Immigrants as just as important as any other person in this country. They all may not have luxurious jobs, but they do clean your toilets, tend your gardens, and wash your cars. But they're stealing jobs? I don't see many American Citizens working four jobs so they can get their kids through school. And I am not here to bash citizens, I'm here to open everyones eyes. I want you to realize how hard it is for immigrants in this country. They work hard, and they do pay taxes. Don't hate them for working hard, applaud them for wanting a better job and wanting to live the American way.

Don't forget your ancestors were immigrants. Don't forget where you came from, because immigrants and minorities DID build this country. Without them, this country wouldn't be where it is today. Stop seperating families, stop leaving broken families throughout the country, because instead of fixing the problem, you are making it worse.

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.
