To My Older Sister From The Baby Of The Family

To my older sister,

Being the youngest kid is not as easy as it looks, I have gone through a lot more then you will ever know. When I was born you loved it because mommy was home from work. Little did you know that the world as you knew it was changing, and not everything was about you. When we got a little older and I was able to play with you, you didn’t share too well. For Christmas, we got the Barbie three-floor dream mansion that you never let me play with you. But that didn’t stop me, for my birthday I got a remote control car for my Barbie so now I had something that was mine, not yours. But then all of a sudden you wanted me to play with you, its like you were using me so you could use my car! But I was little, so I gave into that right away.

Time marched on and we did all these silly things together…well I mean I was the guinea pig, you made do all the things you didn’t want to. Then blamed me for it when it went wrong! As time past by, you were in high school and I in middle school. You were suddenly too cool for me. You came home late, did your homework for hours and never talked to me. It was as if I was an only child since mom and I did everything without you.

Then it was off to college for you; you went to school 6 hours away from home, and now I really felt like an only child. But then that one summer things really changed, you actually wanted to be my friend. Finally, at last I had my sister back and you loved me. You wanted to do things with me and all my dreams finally came true!

A little over a year later, it was my turn to go off to college and what school do I pick? The same school as you. You graduated in the spring and I started in the fall, but that didn’t matter because we still grew closer. You now visit me when you can and that's always an adventure, hanging out with your friends and mine.

Time has since marched on but nothing much has changed, I’m still your baby sister and I can’t imagine life without you.

To all those little sisters out there, your time will come when you and your older sister will become best friends, just you wait and see!

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
