Why You Should Vote For My Dad On November 8

Because a vote for him is one less vote for Hillary and Donald.

Why You Should Vote For My Dad On November 8
Hayley White

After the horrifying second presidential debate that was aired Sunday night, I would not be surprised if many citizens were looking for a way out. The presidential debate proved comical, a terrifying awakening since the reality of the situation is that one of these two candidates will hold the future of our nation in his or her hands. The two politicians spent their air time attacking each other over headlines that have already been over-publicized. Trump spent his time discussing his hatred for ISIS, Hillary's illegal emails and avoiding the recent leak of his "locker-room talk." Hillary spent her time demanding Trump's tax returns, picking apart his "locker-room talk" and lightly discussing her policies.

As an American citizen, I am embarrassed at the level of maturity that was nonexistent in this debate. Our two candidates are acting like teenagers; fighting over Twitter, speaking over each other and forever trying to make each other look bad. If this is not enough already, our third party candidate is making it extremely hard to vote for him. With his lack of knowledge concerning foreign disputes and diplomats, we can not be positive as to how qualified this candidate is for this position. This is why I am proposing a way out.

Vote for my dad.

My dad, Derrick White, is not only a qualified candidate but also my hero. A 48-year-old American-born citizen, my dad is a staple for the kind of man you want to run a country. He has been a Kansas City firefighter for 21 years, risking his life every day to serve and protect his community. He respects the opinions and decisions of others, not always agreeing with them, but respecting them none the less. He is an open-minded, yet strong-moraled, gentlemen who consistently puts his loved ones first. He understands the importance of professionalism in the workplace, but also the joy and goofiness needed to create a fun environment.

My dad is a wise man with the ability to captivate those who are willing to listen to his stories. His advice is bulletproof, proving true and right more times than I would like to admit. His support and encouragement for others are outstanding, proving his desire for the success of his fellow citizens. He is the one we look to for the tough decision making, he is the one we trust. He is an honest man with integrity and insight. He is an active voter and stays up to date with current events. He does have a twitter, however, he uses it to promote the things he likes instead of trash the things he hates. Plus, since our last name is White, we are technically already living in the White House so the transition there should not be too hard. So remember:

Vote for my dad, because a vote for him is one less vote for Hillary and Donald.

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.
