Dear Mr. Trump, I Hope You Shock the Nation

I hope you shock the nation.

Dear Mr. Trump, I Hope You Shock the Nation
Inside Gov

I sincerely do. I hope you shock the world. This has nothing to do with whether I personally believe in your plans or if I, like many others, doubt your ability to be a successful leader. But I hope you prove to be better than you are and what others see you to be.

There's a lot of questions circulating through many of us, but I think too many of us are too angry, too afraid to speak them. So I'll do it. Here are 3 points we wonder as we approach January 20th and beyond.

1. Will you follow through?

You have spoken about multiple plans and philosophies you intend to work on while in office. Some are logical, some were just crazy at first hearing. What we want to know is will you follow through on everything you said you wanted to do?

We question this because we don't really know any steps you plan on taking to reach these initiatives. You told us about step thirteen, and we are currently standing at step one, but we have no idea what or how you plan on navigating through steps two through twelve.

2. How do you want others to see you?

You've seen it yourselves, people are finding ways to bash you. You're outspoken, you're honest. you're bold. All seemingly good qualities, but people look at you as deceiving, mischievous, and rude. I'm wondering how you will choose to present yourself once you're officially in office. Will you stay the same, or will this new level of power change you? And if you change (and we know you will in some way), will you lean more towards the positive side of those characteristics, or the negative?

How do you want people to view your time in office? Do you want to be seen as approachable, or scary? Do you want to be friendly, or intimidating (in situations where being intimidating isn't necessary, like with children or veterans)?

It's not just what you do in office, it's how you act in office that you will be remembered for. It's up to you to decide how you want to be remembered.

3. Will you look out for everyone?

That's the question on so many peoples' minds. Most are jumping to conclusions and saying no you won't. Others say don't be ridiculous of course he will. But that's not something we know for sure. Only you know what you plan on doing; it's up to us to hope you will do good.

Will you look out for the poor, the rich, and the middle class? Will you look out for corporations and small businesses? Will you look out for your citizens on American soil and on overseas lands? Will you look out for minority groups, for law enforcement, for the health and well being of your citizens?

Or will you make choices that specifically leave out one or more of what I said above?

People have mixed reviews about Obama's accomplishments in office, regardless of what statistics they find. But America can continue to grow under your authority. As long as you choose to take it in an upward direction, and not pull us down.

People are expecting you to fail, Mr. Trump. People expect you to be the worst president we have ever had. But if you make choices that benefit this nation, and lead us in a positive manner, you will truly shock the nation and the world.

So, Mr. Trump, I guess all we can do now is wait and see if you make America great again.

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.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
