A story of "leading with love" should be heard now more than ever.

After seeing The Greatest Showman on New Year’s Day, my heart has never been more full. The story of P.T. Barnum and his creation, although made hundreds of years ago, is more relevant to today’s world more than ever. The story of Barnum’s circus teaches those to accept and celebrate what makes us different. Not only is every actor incredibly and immensely talented, but they embody their characters and tell the story with pure genuine love.

The acting, vocals, and choreography of The Greatest Showman is not something to go unnoticed. It is perhaps the most impressive musical movie I’ve seen in so long. With the incredible Hugh Jackman as P.T. Barnum, audience members fall in love with his humor and sincerity as well as his determination and perseverance; traits that humanity could use more of. Not to mention my childhood, adolescent, and adult crush Zac Efron making my heart throb with his romance with the amazing Zendaya. Adding to this phenomenal team is Kaela Settle with her empowering voice that brings the house down.

The anthem of the movie, the song "This is Me" (sung by Settle) will bring a smile to anyone’s face and perhaps even tears, for humanity needs to remember that what makes us different makes us powerful, and that should not be hidden.

I predict I will be hooked onto this movie and the songs and the dancing and the actors for years to come, for the message of acceptance, family, friends, and celebration of life and love that comes out of this movie is one that made me sob for two hours straight. Everyone should go see this masterpiece, and remember what humanity is all about.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
