Dear Mr. President

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

Dear Mr. President
ABCNews

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.

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.
