9 Reasons I'm Going To Miss Michelle Obama Next Year
The Source

This upcoming election has made me realize a lot of things. Among other things, I realize that history could be made in November with the election of our first woman president. While this, in and of itself, is an amazing feat; we are faced with a peculiar situation. For the first time since our country's inception we might have a married president, but no first lady. Because of this, I am becoming very nostalgic of our current first lady. While still being a popular figure, she will no longer be the most important woman in my country. Here are some of the reasons I will miss having her represent our country in many different facets.

1. She holds a historical place in our country

Not only is she a part of the first black family in the White House, she is one of only three first ladies to have a master's degree.


2. She treats every child like her own

Most of her time in the White House has been spent trying to better the lives of children in America. From improving their diets to teaching them how to garden, she welcomes children into her home and wants to make their lives better.


3. She's funny

She made an appearance in a Funny or Die video, perhaps with my favorite line of the whole thing. On top of that, her facial expressions (which she has no intention to hide) give her life and personality.

4. She is an amazing mom

Sasha and Malia have grown up in the spotlight, but thanks to "Mom" they both have jobs and are learning to support themselves. Sasha is working at a restaurant, at least for the summer, and Malia has had a few internships before she begins her education at Harvard in 2017. They are learning to provide for themselves, no matter what their parents do.


5. She is very VERY intelligent

She's one of only 3 first ladies with a master's degree, as aforementioned. She graduated magna cum laude from Princeton and she has a law degree from Harvard. If this isn't intelligence to you, your standards are too high.

6. She knows how to dress

Having a place in this spotlight means having everything about you be under a microscope. Since her husband's inauguration, she has been a fashion icon in this country, much like former first ladies. Even prior to her life in the spotlight, she knew how to dress!


7. She is strong despite her place in society

Despite being of color and growing up in a blue-collar household sharing the living room as sleeping quarters with her brother, she made it to Princeton, Harvard, and a Chicago law firm all on her own. She loves herself and is proud of what she has achieved all on her own.

8. She's beautiful inside and out

Every woman is beautiful on the outside, but she redefined beauty with her grace and poise. She showed us all how you can be beautiful and care about every person regardless of your relationship with them.

9. She's an amazing woman and role model

You can be beautiful. You can be strong. You can be intelligent. You can be funny. You can love everyone. You can be all of those no matter your place in this world. Thanks to Michelle Obama, we know you can be all of those at the same time and do it in style. Girls across the world look up to her and will continue for years to come.


Thank you Michelle Obama for being amazing, inspiring and a role model for me as I enter into adulthood.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. 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.

Power of Love Letters

I don't think I say it enough...

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
