Top 3 Moments From The Democratic National Convention 2016

This past week I attended the Democratic National Convention 2016. The four days were filled with wonderful moments but a few stood out above the rest. If you missed the Convention, here are a few shining moments from the four day extravaganza.

1. Herstory

Obviously, the number 1 stand out moment of the entire convention was Hillary Clinton’s acceptance speech, making her the first female presidential nominee for a major party. The energy of the entire arena was electric, filled with excitement and joy for the path our country is headed down, a path where no matter who you are, an African American or a woman, you can truly have the opportunity to become president.

2. President Obama Passes over the Baton

President Obama gave an unforgettable speech on the third day of the convention. Like always, he spoke words of hope and inspiration. The president got the entire arena excited to back Hillary in this next election, reminding citizens in the arena and at home why Clinton is the most qualified individual to become president. He left the crowd with encouragements to support Hillary the way we have all supported him. President Obama is a truly amazing individual and I am so blessed to have been able see him inspire so many in person.

3. Michelle Obama Slays as Always

If you didn't know, Michelle Obama is the most perfect human being on the planet. She kept her status alive on the fist night of the conventing with a speech that gave chills and caused a few tears. Michelle spotlighted the fact that she wakes up everyday in a house built by slaves, revealing how far this country has come and the huge impact the Obama family has made in history. Or first lady is truly one of a kind and will always be looked up to, even after the Obama presidency.

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.
