Dear America: Part III

A final letter to the United States of America

Dear America: Part III
Alphacoders

Dear America,

I would like to apologize to you on behalf of the population of people who inhabit your land.

I am sorry for what we have put you through. We have taken your native people from you, only to take another race from their native land and bring them here to treat them like animals.

We don't take care of your children because they're lazy if we do, so we expect them to do everything on their own. We give them the right to vote and join the military, often times before they graduate high school but expect them to decide what they will do for the rest of their lives only months after they have to ask permission to get a drink of water.

We have school systems that focus on training obedience rather than ensuring that each student actually comprehends what they are being "taught."

We tell your citizens that they have no right to their bodies, minds or souls. We tell your women that they have to carry a pregnancy to term and have the child of the man who raped her but won't let that child use women's bathroom because he was assigned "boy" at birth.

We spend money on two story tour buses and treat your big cities like zoos, meanwhile some of your inhabitants; pillows are their shoes.

We tell your men that if they have feelings then they must be gay and sent to church camp so they can pray it away.

We have two puppets running for president; we can't agree on which is the one with more strings and neither one of them are going to fix any of these issues.

Donald Trump is right. We have some bad people, some bad, bad people in this country. We need to get them out and stop them from running for president.

Hillary Clinton said, "we're standing but we're not yet running." I'm going to take this out of context for a second and say she's absolutely wrong. We're not even standing.

I hope that we fix this for you in 2020.

Sincerely,

Your inhabitants.

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.
