America Can Wait For A Truely Influential First Woman President

Don't settle for the idea of what could be, but wait for a woman worthy to be President.

The day America becomes a nation represented by a powerful woman will be yet another profound event within history.

However, it’s plain as day to see that Hillary Clinton should not be that woman.

It’s easy to believe that many people, mainly women, can be swept up in the idea of having a woman as the president. Such an occurrence could potentially establish huge strides and credibility toward the influence and strength among the female population. Woman will finally feel as though they have an equal voice against the male population, which woman have been fighting to gain for decades. But what many people fail to recognize is that we once had an unofficial woman president, and that woman, Eleanor Roosevelt, holds a strong reputation and standard proving that a woman has already influenced the white house and influenced America, and the future success of America is not lead by a woman like Hillary Clinton.

Hillary Clinton is wrapped up in continuous scandals, lies and manipulations, and such a woman isn’t fit to run a country. She’s proven to be irresponsible and untrustworthy. Her actions pre-presidency clearly give the American people a glimpse into the type of president she will be. Her actions have only shown her heart lies within a selfish nature and not for the well-being of the American people.

When a woman comes to office that woman should hold high morals and standards, not only for herself but with her actions because those actions will represent the people of America. Leadership is more than simply leading a group of individuals. Leadership involves inherent abilities that establish a good leader from an extraordinary leader.

Eleanor Roosevelt represented the type of leader who was able to step up in stressful times of crisis. She took over the demanding job of President Franklin D. Roosevelt during his time of illness, all through a period when women battled to gain rights and equality. She established a clear vision by advocating for women’s rights, the rights and needs of the poor, minorities, the disadvantaged and all as the first lady of the United States. By doing so, her vision was shared throughout the country, as her sensitivity and love for others inevitably lead people to follow her causes. She stepped in and created change by not only protecting the presidential foundation of Franklin D. Roosevelt, but also establishing her own agenda to create change in the lives of those in need.

Eleanor Roosevelt stood by her morals and values by firmly holding on to what she believed in, regardless of public approval. She became a leader who influenced change and encouraged peace as she took full advantage of the power she possessed to make an everlasting difference in the world.

A woman like Eleanor Roosevelt stepped into the role as the president, showing the American people that women are strong enough to be influential leaders who can successfully run a country. So, how can the American people support a woman like Hillary who has repeatedly failed before even stepping foot into the shoes of the presidency? A woman who proves to have abandoned her morals for the desires of being named the president.

It’s safe to say that everyone is flawed in some way or another, however, this country is in desperate need of a positively, profound and influential leader, and that person should not be Hillary. The women within America have fought long and hard for our rights and our equality, and the American people should wait for an exceptional and moral woman to take the role and title as the first woman president of the United States of America. The American people deserve nothing less.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.
