To The Person In My Class Who Said “But What Does that Say About The Women Who Voted For Trump?"

Because yes, this is still somehow an ongoing a discussion.

To The Person In My Class Who Said “But What Does that Say About The Women Who Voted For Trump?"

I am taking a class this semester that is very subjective to other’s views. It is no one’s fault, but I actually find myself sometimes uninterested in going to class, simply because my other classmates and professor assume that everyone has one view. Of course that everyone hates Trump and voted for Hilary because that makes the most sense. Right?

Wrong.

I am sick of hearing even now in April about the election and the results of it. It’s time to accept what it is, I truly think that, but even more important I think that it’s time to stop bashing the Trump supporters.

I have written time and time again that I am a Trump supporter and I am proud, but I am at the point where I am so over having to defending myself for it. It is March 30th, the election was November 8th, and I don’t want to hear about what it says about me, a woman, for voting for Trump. Especially when they are making a generalization and they do not know who in the class voted for Trump. Maybe I am the only one in this 15 person class who voted for him, but even if I am the only one, you will not know that if you do not ask, and you will not know that if you make negative generalizations about his supporters.

I think we all need to just take some time and stop thinking about what could have been, and try and focus on what it is. Stop talking about what it says about me that I voted for him, and stop bashing everyone and everything that has to do with the President.

I am so over talking about this, and hearing it, and dealing with it. I want everyone to have freedom of speech and expression, but then you have to expect that I will speak up as well. In my class I did not say anything for fear of a lower grade, or even dirty looks from my classmates.

However, here I am and I am saying I am a woman, I voted for Trump and I am proud. So the generalization of my professor and my classmates will be ignored, I am not going to hear it 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.
