President-Elect Trump's Cabinet: The Most Diverse in History.
Fox 13 News

As January 20th comes closer and closer, more and more of President-Elect Trump’s cabinet is revealed. Historically speaking, Trump’s cabinet will be one of the most diverse to date. Here’s an overview of 3 of the minority picks that President-Elect Trump has appointed.

1. Ben Carson

Formal republican presidential candidate Ben Carson has been appointed as the Housing and Urban Development Secretary. Despite his minimal experience, many see this as a good pick for Trump. Seeing this side of his rough childhood makes it apparent that not only can he represent his race well as a minority in Trump’s cabinet, but also that he has a knowledge about urban areas that can be beneficial to his position as HUD secretary.

2. Elaine Chao

Elaine Chao has been named Trump’sTransportation Secretary. Chao first made an appearance in a president’s cabinet when George W. Bush appointed her to Labor Secretary in 2001. She was the first Asian-American Woman to be appointed to a cabinet.

3. Nikki Haley

Nikki Haley was the first female and minority governor of South Carolina. Haley is the daughter of Indian immigrants. Haley has been successful as a governor, and many are looking forward to seeing what she will do as the U.N. Ambassador.


These are just a few of the examples that show the diversity that Trump is exemplifying through his cabinet. There are more appointments to come, and its most definitely going to be one of the most historic cabinets in history.

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.

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.
