Where Did America GO?

What is America

How is it going, universe? My name is Brianna, it is very nice to meet you. I'm here to talk about what is right and what is wrong with the world today, right now. Especially in our beloved country that is known as the United States of America. Well, so far we elected some bigoted person who thinks he knows everything but doesn't know anything. Maybe something about money, but not about running a country. But, we should just give him a chance, right? Well, sure, why not since we've already elected him president. We can't let him divide us just because of our different views and the color of our skin. We can't let him do that, no. We must stand together and go against together. We all maybe different colors and have different social views, but we can't keep going against each other. That is what's wrong with society today. There is always a race between everyone. I may be white, but I'm not racist. Just because I'm white doesn't mean I'm racist. Just because you may be Mexican or African-American doesn't make you ghetto or an immigrant. Our country was founded by immigrants, and we took land from the Native Americans. Well, not us, but our ancestors did.

We were all divided back then because of segregation and America having a race problem. America still has a race problem, and most people are thinking that there isn't. Well, Betsy and Randall, there is a race problem. There are many other problems as well, but I will mention them later. There is a race problem with Muslim women getting their hijabs ripped off their head just because they are the wrong religion. Hm, odd, does that sound related to the race problem? Yes, it is related to the race problem. They aren't the wrong religion. They live in America, a nation that is suppose to be free to pray to whomever your religion prays to, a nation that isn't suppose to take rights away from people, and a nation that is suppose to give equal opportunity to everyone who comes to live here. But, everyone thinks Christianity is America's main religion. It isn't, hun. America doesn't have a set religion. Nor do we have a set race. America is filled with so much culture and diversity, and no one wants to praise it and get along.

This Isn't America, this Isn't America at all. What is America anymore?

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.
