Women from the University of Alabama get together for the She Leads Conference with a greater purpose in mind: to make an impact.

With seven different speakers, the conference brought together students from different backgrounds and life views to inspire young woman on campus to be out there and make a difference in their community.

But why should we?

Here are 7 reasons why you should get out there for a change:

1. You create your own future


2. Netflix won't run away

4. Why fit in when you were born to stand out?


As the former Dr. Seuss would say, "Oh the place's you'll go." Show others what you can bring to the table.

5. There is still work to be done


Women need better representation in politics. According to the Center for American Women and Politics, they make up 19 percent of Congress, yet 51 percent of our population.

6. Believe in yourself


Great people achieve great things; don't let rejection stop you from getting where you want to be. Also, don't forget to ask yourself what would Eleanor Roosevelt do.

7. Be the change you want to see in the world


Be kind, be genuine and be honest. Show them what makes you who you are and do not give up.

Get out of your comfort zone, nobody is meant to be on the sidelines.

So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
