When You Give A Girl A Stepfamily
American Action Forum

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll love them as her own. She’ll gain new best friends – in both her parents and siblings. She’ll have loving arms to count on when times get tough, and warm smiles to count on through every life accomplishment. She’ll have people to laugh with until her belly hurts, and someone at home waiting to hear about her day.

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll understand that family isn’t always blood. It’s the people in your life who want you in theirs; the ones who accept you for exactly who you are. The ones who would do anything to see you smile, and who love you no matter what.

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll learn to accept new people into her life and appreciate the differences. Stepfamilies are made up of a mix of different people. Everyone comes from different backgrounds, different experiences, different memories and more. The differences, all brought together into one family, are what make stepfamilies so beautiful.

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll be exposed to countless life stories and lessons. Whether the stories come from her stepgrandmother about her glory days or her stepbrothers about their latest soccer match, every experience they choose to share with her will only make them closer. Their life stories can be lessons for her to learn and grow from.

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll pretend the extra gifts on birthdays and holidays aren’t a big deal, but she secretly loves them. Spending the special days of the year with so many people, usually spread out across time, just make the joyfulness last a little longer. Also, realizing how many people care about you throughout the good times doesn’t hurt.

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll know the love of someone who never had to love her, but chose to. She’ll understand the feeling of pure love and what it means to care for someone, regardless of their relationship to her. She’ll hold that love close to her heart and share it with those who are important to her, family or not.

When you give a girl a stepfamily, she’ll know they aren’t “step” or “half” at all; they’re just family. Family is family, whether it’s one you start out with, the one you end up with, or the family you gain along the way.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
