Nyle DiMarco: An Inspiration To All

With Season 22 of "Dancing with the Stars" coming to an end, the pressure for a winner is on. Among the finalists is Nyle DiMarco, who is partnered with Peta Murgatroyd. Despite the pair's remarkable dancing skills, the most shocking and amazing part is the fact the Nyle is deaf.

Yes, he is deaf, yet still able to carry out the routines, communicate with Peta and most importantly, have fun and enjoy himself.

A common misconception that people have about the deaf community is that it limits their abilities to enjoy themselves. Nyle proves this conception wrong. He has shown the viewers, and everyone who has heard about him, that just because one may be deprived of a particular sense or show a difference, it shouldn't hinder them from trying new things or doing things they love. He says, "His Deafness is an asset and not a limitation."

In addition being a dancer, Nyle is a model, actor and activist. Of his many accomplishments, some include being the winner of "America's Next Top Model," a deaf ambassador, an actor on the show "Switched At Birth," as well as a signer and creative collaborator on The ASL (American Sign Language) App. He always says that being deaf doesn't matter when it comes to success, because with success comes pride. Coming from a family of 25 deaf members, including his parents, grandparents and two brothers, he doesn't consider deaf a disability because it's all he has ever known. He says, "It's how you do your work, how you pursue your dreams" that counts, regardless of your differences.

Nyle is not only an inspiration to the deaf community, but one to everyone he encounters and everyone who supports him. He shows that having a difference doesn't make you weaker, but stronger. Although it may make you feel different, it adds to your uniqueness. He shows that regardless of what the media or people in general have to say about the "ideal" person, it's not true. You have to learn to be true to yourself and embrace your flaws and differences.

Therefore, if you have a disability or difference, don't hinder it or be embarrassed by it. Embrace it and live up to your full potential, because everyone is different, and accepting those differences is what makes the world diverse.

Keep it up Nyle - you're an inspiration to all, and we are all rooting for you!

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

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.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

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.
