Make Acceptance Great (Again)

I never did enjoy talking about politics. It’s that one subject that most people try to avoid because that’s just fighting a fire that most people don’t want to deal with. However, this subject becomes what seems to be the only subject to talk about in the beginning of November every four years. And we, as Americans, are expected to make our own opinions. Donald Trump is now the President for the next four years. In other words, we should ACCEPT Donald Trump to be the President for the next four years.

Let me start off by saying I do respect Trump and would rather see him president over Hilary any day. No, I’m not anti-feminist, no I’m not racist, and no I’m not against LGBT, and it’s not difficult to find other Trump supporters out there that feel the same way. Let me remind you that both candidates are certainly not perfect. Trump has said some insulting words, no doubt about that, and it is concerning to think someone with that mindset can be President. However, no one is perfect so how can we expect our president to be? Words can be replaced by actions, but actions, on the other hand, are rather difficult to be replaced.

This brings me to the perspective on why Hilary Clinton seemed as unqualified. Yes, she is a female and it is fantastic to see that we live in a time where women can rise to that potential. Although she may be a female, we can’t forget to look at it from an individual perspective. As you may know, Clinton has been under FBI investigation for deleting thousands of emails leading towards the deaths of men in Benghazi. For me, that had made choosing who I support in this election quite simple. I couldn’t fathom the idea of someone who allowed that to happen to run our country. As previously stated, the words of Trump can’t possibly be compared to such lies and corruption.

Trump has not started his journey yet, and people are already prepared to “pack their bags”. I’m not asking you to love the man, but give him a chance. I can assure you that everyone will still be guaranteed their rights. Trump has proposed some spectacular ideas for this country involving national security and criminally illegal immigrants.

These are the things that have posed as issues for years. He even spoke about giving benefits to our veterans. This man is no dictator; he is working to change this country in positive ways. Trump would not be president if America did not want him to be. Listen to your country, because two-hundred-and-seventy-nine electoral votes was no mistake. The only thing we, as Americans, can do is wait and see if President Trump will keep his promises.

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.

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.
