In times of crisis I turn to you. You're the President of The United State, yet you act like a fool. You have racists in your cabinet, and while your supporters went as far to protect you and say that you aren't racist, you truly are.

You say you are a man of the people, yet you choose to kick those who keep this country strong out. You say you want to 'make America great again', yet those who have made America great again, are being persecuted and sent back to places they no longer call home. They may not be American citizens or hold a simple green card to prove that they are legal, but they are more American than anyone else. They love this land and work hard to live day in and day out in it. Their children educate themselves, learn the American way, speak perfect english (some better than many American born) and go on and get a diploma, just like the American dream promised. They celebrate the Fourth of July with pride and joy, and sing the anthem with love in their hearts. Yet your supporters and yourself want to kick them out.

I ask myself why, but I know the answer. The answer is that you are scared. You're scared that these latinos are taking your jobs and education. But the truth is, they really aren't. These immigrants have less chances to make a better life for themselves, yet they fight hard to do so. They don't have the same privileges as an American Citizen, yet they work hard so they can get close to even some kind of privilege. You bash immigrants for being rapists, criminals, and job stealers; but that is only a minority. What if we looked at white people as school shooters and lazy, but we don't. Then why look at a small amount of immigrants as rapists? I need you to realize that Immigrants as just as important as any other person in this country. They all may not have luxurious jobs, but they do clean your toilets, tend your gardens, and wash your cars. But they're stealing jobs? I don't see many American Citizens working four jobs so they can get their kids through school. And I am not here to bash citizens, I'm here to open everyones eyes. I want you to realize how hard it is for immigrants in this country. They work hard, and they do pay taxes. Don't hate them for working hard, applaud them for wanting a better job and wanting to live the American way.

Don't forget your ancestors were immigrants. Don't forget where you came from, because immigrants and minorities DID build this country. Without them, this country wouldn't be where it is today. Stop seperating families, stop leaving broken families throughout the country, because instead of fixing the problem, you are making it worse.

18 Things I Want To Do Now That I'm 18

I'm technically an adult, so I'm legally required to live a little, right?

2005
Happy Birthday Cake

For the entirety of my high school career, I was always seen as the goody-two-shoes. I never got in trouble with a teacher, I kept stellar grades, and when I wasn't doing extracurricular activities, I was at home studying. Even when I did go out, it was usually with a bunch of fellow band geeks. The night would end before 11:00 PM and the only controversial activity would be a fight based on who unfairly won a round of Apples-to-Apples when someone else clearly had a better card (I promise I'm not still holding a grudge).

Now that I'm officially an adult, I want to pursue some new things. I want to experience life in a way that I never allowed myself to do prior to entering college. These are the years that I'm supposed to embark on a journey of self-discovery, so what better way to do that than to create a bucket list?

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.
