Anyone who knows me, knows that "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" is my favorite talk show. Ellen DeGeneres is a comedian, talk show host, actress, writer, and producer. She has a bright light about her that draws people to her. If you ever come across "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," watch it; it will be the best decision you ever made. Not only is she funny and energetic, but she has a positive and encouraging attitude which her viewers can feel when they are around her or watch her show.

After coming out to the public about her sexual orientation, she stood proud about who she was even though others did not stand by her at that life-changing moment in her career. Ellen was recognized for her comedy in her early days, and she is known to be one of the most hardworking celebrities. She worked hard to be where she is today, and all that hard work has paid off. She started working in television and movies, and one of her iconic movie characters most people and kids know her from is Dory from "Finding Nemo."

When I began watching Ellen's show, I was so inspired by the things Ellen did on her show. From what I could tell, there was so much positivity, laughter, and communication with her audience that just made me keep coming back to watch it. Ellen's positivity, charm, and kindness inspire people every day, myself included. She believes in equality and treating the people around you how you want to be treated. One of the things Ellen said that has stuck with me is that at the end of her show, she always says "Bye everybody, be kind to one another." Just hearing her say that has inspired me to be kind to those around me because you never know what a person could be going through and being kind to them could make their day a million times better.

From dancing to amazing celebrity pranks, the show never fails to make me laugh. Just watching the show lifts my spirits up if I was having a bad day. What makes "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" so great is the interaction Ellen has with her audience, her witty sense of humor, and her down to earth personality. Just watching the show from home can make a person feel like they know Ellen.

Ellen DeGeneres is a person who I'd like to call brave and very giving. Those who watch the show know Ellen is always giving back, whether it is giving her audience gifts, or honoring families in need or teachers or people who have made an impact in their communities. She sets a great example that encourages people to give back to those in need. Throughout her life of challenges and overcoming the obstacles in her life, she continues to make jokes, remain positive, and encourage those around her.

In the years I have watched the show, I have learned so many things. Those things include being yourself no matter what other people say or think, being kind, honest, respecting others and standing up for what you believe in. Ellen continues to be one of my main role models because she possesses these qualities and that is what makes her different from most people.

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.
