Dear Mr. President

Hold on to the fact that you want to "Make America Great Again."

Dear Mr. President

I have been avoiding all the political debates and rants I see plastered on social media. I have not taken part in the hushed whispers circling the dorm room about the election.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

First of all, congratulations are in order. You did something that I never thought was possible. Going from thinking you running for president was a joke, to you winning.

I remember being a senior in high school when I first heard rumors of you running for president. I honestly thought it was the funniest thing I had ever heard. It was the joke you told over lunch with friends, it was the punch line, the talk of the cafeteria. But little did we know that your name would be on our first ballot we would be able to partake in.

There is something I need to get out of the way, Mr. President. I did not vote for you. Which is sad, coming from someone who is registered as a Republican party. I honestly agreed with most of the stuff you stand for. But I just could not bring myself to go through with it. You never told me what you were going to do, Mr. President. I feel like every time I heard you talk, you were defending yourself. If you weren't defending yourself you were bashing Hillary.

As soon as I stood behind that poll, ready and anxious to vote, all I could see were my nieces faces. All I could see was my brothers face as he puts on that police uniform to defend us every day. My two little brothers, who will be entering high school next year. I want them to look up to you, but how can they do that when you say it is okay to disrespect women the way you do?

Now this is in no way to hurt or try and tell you that you're a horrible person. This is simply how I feel, Mr. President. But here is what I can promise you. I am going to keep an open mind about this, I will not be negative about ever little thing. Because I honestly believe you want the best for us. I hope you never lose sight of that, and don't run that mouth of yours. I know I am guilty of that too, but you have a little bit more at stake than I do.

Most importantly I hope you never lose sight of who is truly in charge. You are there for a purpose, you are The President of the United States of America because Jesus put you there. You have a path ahead of you, and I pray that is carefully revealed to you, and that you listen.

Please don't let me down Mr. President. I want to say that out of the negativity, I fought to find the light and you proved to be worthy of that Oval Office you sit in.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.

It can be overwhelming at times and it’s important to take a step a back and calmly think things over. Maybe gain some perspective.

It is no secret that many American traditions have changed over time. As we grow older we change in so many ways that it only makes sense that we also change the way we celebrate special occasions. Of course when it comes to the holidays there are some family traditions that many of us still excitedly look forward to, whether it is eating your favorite dish or seeing favorite cousin. However, we all know that the holidays have overall changed a little from what they used to be.
