Dear President Elect Donald Trump,

Congratulations on getting elected. You have quite the ride ahead of you, but I'm sure you already know that. Now I'm not writing you this letter because you are Donald Trump, I'm writing you this letter because you are the president-elect, the president to be, the president with the opportunity to make this country better.

I'm not here to tell you why I like you or why I don't like you, or what I agree with or disagree with. I'm simply here to tell you that I'm hopeful. I'm hopeful for a brighter future. I'm hopeful for this country- that it'll be stronger, smarter and better than it ever has been before. Most of all, I'm hopeful that you're hopeful. I hope and pray that you see the potential that I see, in this country and in its people. I'm hopeful for you.

I hope that you'll prove yourself. I hope that you'll prove yourself to be more than what the media portrays you to be. I hope that within that anger there is passion and drive and that deep down inside, your words come from good intentions.

I hope that you'll understand. Every heart carries a different story, every life has followed a different path, and I hope you understand and honor individuality. I hope that you have perspective on every situation and that you go about everything accordingly. I hope you consider the best for this country, but more importantly the people in it.

I hope that you'll love. We would both be lying to ourselves if we said that America was full of love, especially right now. There are riots in the streets, men and women alike are saying hateful things, putting words in each others' mouths, misguided intentions in each others' hearts, so my God, more than anything I hope that you will love, and show this country how to love again.

We need to stop being the Disunited States of America and I hope you see that. We need to come together again, because at the end of the day we are one in the same. We are all humans, in need of love and patience and understanding.

President Elect Donald Trump, I am so incredibly hopeful. I hope that you will truly, make America great again.

When I was learning how to talk, I was taught both Portuguese and English at the same time. In elementary school, I started taking mandatory Spanish classes, which I did well in because of my knowledge of Portuguese. Then in high school, on top of taking Spanish, I also started taking French. Now, in college, already fluent in English and Portuguese, I'm in the process of becoming fluent in Spanish, and I have a standard high school level understanding of French.

I am without a doubt one of those people who refuses to start decorating for Christmas or listen to Christmas music until after Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, Thanksgiving has become an underrated holiday over the years. You barely see any Thanksgiving decorations in stores; it's like they skip right from Halloween to Christmas.

Some universities only get two or three days off for Thanksgiving break. Or, if your university is like mine, you get the whole week off go go home. A whole week off is a long time.

Here are some ideas as to what you can do to get the most out of your Thanksgiving break.
