Like many of my millennial peers, I am an avid Twitter user. Scrolling through the countless articles, pictures and videos will take up an hour or two of time like it's nothing. With all this scrolling, we're bound to see something we don't like or don't agree with. Once or twice a day, it never fails that I scroll past an article or tweet that makes me want to cut off the fingers of the person who posted it. With our posts, we have the power to make others feel enraged, inspired, or enlightened--to name a few.

Yesterday, I came across this gem. Before I get started, let me address the fact that I understand where Mr. Davis is coming from. Sasha Obama's father, Barack Obama, is currently the President of the United States. With this title, we all assume that Sasha and her sister, Malia, can have everything they want with the snap of a finger. Well, if they have everything, why not let someone who has nothing be able to work for what they want? There are plenty of young adults in need of a job to save or pay for school, support their families, etc. How dare they snatch that opportunity up from someone who needs it!

Now that I'm done being understanding, on to the real reason why I'm writing this: to defend Sasha. Let's all take a second to look at the truth of these types of things. No matter what Sasha does, she will be criticized. She could post a picture of herself at the beach and still get hate for it. People would call her lazy and tell her to do something with her life. Well, here she is doing something with her life and she's still getting hate. There's really no winning.

We should all be proud of Sasha. If she wanted to, she could spend her days in leisure with "Hakuna Matata" written on her forehead. Instead, she's out taking up the responsibility of a job. Every young adult should have some kind of job. It doesn't matter if you're the president's daughter or if you live in suburbia, a job is an essential building block to becoming a mature adult. Sasha is setting an example for herself and young adults of every age, class and gender. Michelle and Barack Obama are also setting the same example for parents everywhere. They're telling us that no matter who you are, or who you think you are, teaching your kids responsibility will always be a priority.

Also, as much as I hate to play the gender card, think about the response if Sasha were a boy. People would think of him (Sasha) as respectable, humble, and a good mate. It would be expected of him to get a job so that later on he may provide for his family. But because Sasha is female, it's almost like we expect her to play the princess role.

Sasha, what you're doing is great and a lot of American young adults could learn from the example that you're setting. Keep working hard and inspiring others.
