An Open Letter to Donald Trump

This is to our future America

An Open Letter to Donald Trump
The Atlantic

Mr. Trump,

First of all I would like to start off with congratulations on winning the presidential election. I was stunned on your victory, and I myself was not one who voted for you, but nonetheless, congratulations. You have a great responsibility on your hands now, and I wish you all the best these next four years. You say you want to make America great again, and now you have endless opportunities to do so.

I myself, and many other Americans, were not exactly huge fans of yours, and that's just our opinion, but there were also many who believed in what you stand for and believe that you will do great things. I personally did not support you because I do not have the same values as you. I do not agree with what you stand for, and I do not agree with who you are as a person. Although I do not know you personally, how you acted at the debates, how I see you in the media, your hateful tweets, and discrimination really turned me off.

The media portrayed you as racist, homophobic, hateful, and sexist. I pray that this is not who you really are, I pray that the videos of you degrading women and promoting rape culture and discrimination are not what you believe in. Please be the man I saw in your victory speech who said he would be a president for ALL Americans. Be a President for the people, not against them. Promote love, not hate. I sincerely hope that the media portrayed you wrongly, and that your supporters really saw something great that I must have missed.

Prove to all the people who doubt you, and all the people who support you, that you will lead with grace. Prove to us that you won’t let America go up in flames. Prove to us that you are fit for this job. Prove to us that you know what you are doing. Prove to us that ALL Americans are welcome in the United States, and that hate will not be the heart of your presidency. Prove to us that "We The People" have a say in the affairs of this great country. Prove to us that you can be a great president.

Sincerely,

The Future of America

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.
