8 Prayers For Our Country And For Our New President
Quartz

I pray that our country will start to love instead of hate.Enough is enough with all of the bashful and hateful comments and actions toward each other. I don’t understand why “hating” has become such a normal thing in today’s world. I hope that there comes a time when we can all accept each other for who they are and for their opinions.

I pray that one day, hopefully soon, everyone in our country will feel safe. People have begun to say that they do not feel safe now that Trump has been elected president, but in reality, there were a ton of other people who were afraid before he was elected. I know that everyone will not feel one-hundred percent safe tomorrow, but I hope that over time and with work, one-day people will not be afraid or feel unsafe.

I pray that people start to recognize our new president and will support him. There are so many people who have been saying “He’s not my president, I’m still with her”. It is great that we live in a world where we are allowed to express our opinions, but Trump won President for a reason, and there’s nothing that is going to change that. He is our President for the next four years, whether we like it or not. If we look back eight years ago when Obama was first elected into office, there were plenty of people who were angry and outraged that he was our President, but you know what? He got elected twice because there were people who believed in him. Those who did not favor Obama still supported him and waited to see what he would do with our nation. For eight years, the citizens of America watched to see what Obama could accomplish instead of thrashing out and causing unnecessary fights. Donald Trump needs the same prayers and support that Obama had. Our President needs us to help him succeed. He needs people who will support him in order for him to succeed as the President. Wanting the President to fail is basically wanting our country to fail. People may not like him, nor like the people who support him, but there is no reason under any circumstances for destroying symbols of our country, like the American Flag. We all need to unite and support our country.

For you, President Trump:

I pray that you surround yourself with people who will support you and guide you in the right direction. Considering you do not have a political background, I hope that you acquire people on your team who do have the experience and knowledge that will help you succeed during your term.

I pray that you continue to love America and strive to continue to help point our country in the right way. You are a true American businessman who understands people who are in the workforce. If you fighting for our country does not say that you love and support our country, I do not know what does. I hope that your love and passion for our country continues throughout your term.

I pray that you do not forget the opinions of the American people. A lot of people support you because you bring an outside view to politics. You understand the average American person’s thoughts and hopes. I hope you continue to work toward creating more jobs for people and making life overall better.

I pray that you continue to have open eyes and ears toward the American people. I understand that some of your views are written in stone, but I hope that you will still consider and respect people for who they are, no matter what their gender, race, age or their sexuality is.

I pray for you, President Donald Trump, that you can help make America Great Again.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.
