Let Optimism Shine

The people have voted, and the democracy has spoken: Donald Trump will be the 45th president of The United States of America. I am not going to sit here today and write about who I wanted because, frankly, it does not matter who I wanted because I could not vote anyway and the decision has already been set in stone. What I will do, however, is hopefully invoke optimism about the country's future because it pains me to see such a divided, hateful country at the current moment in time.

First off, our country will continue to thrive and be great no matter how well Donald Trump performs over the next four, or even eight years. Our country has suffered through horrific presidents in the past, such as Andrew Jackson and Jimmy Carter. And guess what? Our country is still great. Now with that being said, I am not concluding that Donald Trump will be a terrible president, but just in case he is, and all the outspoken Clinton supporters are correct, we have absolutely nothing to fear. Ultimately, our country is great because of its people, not necessarily its leader.

In addition, I can optimistic about the fact that President-Elect Donald Trump has the opportunity to make necessary changes that I believe all can agree on despite an individual's political affiliation. Since Donald Trump will be working with a Republican House of Representatives and Senate, he will be able to make changes that will aid this country with ease. Our country is ranked 30th in education: that needs to be mightily improved. Our country maintains one of the worst infrastructures across the board: that needs to be enhanced. Our country possesses around 11 million illegal immigrants: that needs to be changed. And with the Republican dominated government, I truly believe change will be made in these critical aspects that have degraded our country.

Finally, while I do not condone the terrible things Donald Trump has said and promoted in the past, but I am optimistic he will not say the same rash type of statements while he serves as our president. He will be vigoriously and routinely briefed by top politicians on how to avoid these impulsive outbursts of hatred, and he will adhere in order to be the best president possible. Because ultimately his goal is to be a good president, and even the best president. He wants this country to thrive and be the best, thus as its leader, he will try to be the best as well.

We need spread optimism around the country. We all want our country to succeed, so it baffles me as to why people hope Trump fails. These mass protests around the country are not achieving anything; Trump will be the president come January 20th. We need to embrace that. We need to unify the country and all yearn for Trump to succeed. Let us be optimistic and prove to the remainder of the world that we the people of the United States of America are great, and so is our country.

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.

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.
