Hillary or Trump: Who will make America great again?
The Daily Beast

She sent and received classified emails from her personal account. He filed for bankruptcy multiple times. She helped spearhead a better healthcare system across the board. He created the Grand Hyatt and the Trump organization. It seems they both have accumulated mistakes and accomplishments. But who is actually best to fill the presidency?

Hillary has much experience in the field of politics; but it seems the American people are crying for change and honesty. Trump is a successful businessman; but people are afraid of his apparent bigotry and desire a more qualified candidate. No matter what your personal views are on social and economic issues, neither quite fits the bill for the ideal candidate. So who is going to fix America?

I am here to tell you that neither, yes neither, will fix America. The president has power, but it is the power of the people that instigates change. The future of America starts with us. We are the ones who work, the ones who enjoy the social programs, the ones whose voices decide policy. If we want America to be great, if we desire to keep America great, we must take the initiative ourselves.

I believe the future starts with us. It starts in our families, encouraging healthy lifestyles, teaching ethics, and instilling the values of honesty and hard work. And beyond that, it is about what we go above and beyond to do. It is about how we make our voice heard.

I want poverty to be eliminated in America; so I go serve at a free used clothing and houseware store, because that is what I can do. My mother desires to help the persecuted in the Middle East; so she donates money to charities that send aid. Maybe you want small businesses to experience greater freedom or taxes to change; you can email your representative or become a delegate for your county. If I can tell you one thing to give you hope, it is that it starts with you. There is no end to the possibilities of how we can keep America great.

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.
