I think understanding the importance of organ donation is something that can change this world. I understand people's religious beliefs and other beliefs they may have but understanding how you can forever change someone's life is amazing. For the people who do not have any religious beliefs or other beliefs making it impossible to donate, become a donor today!

The benefits of donating your organs are unreal. Not only can you help medicine advance and cure even more diseases but you can potentially save someone's life, giving them a second chance at a healthy life again. Organ donation is becoming more and more popular. Over 90% of adults in America are donating their organs. One organ donor can save up to eight different lives. It only takes five minutes out of your day to register.

The view I have is after we are deceased we are going to rot in the ground anyways so why not use our organs for the common good. Why not be selfless and give the opportunity of life to someone who has been fighting for so long. There is no age limit on organ donation so if you are unsure you can wait and make the decision at a later date and time but I highly encourage you to become the missing piece to someone's puzzle. The number of children and adults that sit on the transplant list each year is insanely high. The more donors that the United States has, the better the chance the people on the donor list will be able to receive a matched organ.

I do understand the religious beliefs that have a conflict with this type of issue. I believe in God and have faith that this is an act of charity and love. You are selfless in a way that not everyone can because they are looking for the missing pieces to their puzzle. You have the opportunity to give someone else a shot at a life that they would never have had without your selflessness.


Go sign up to be an organ donor today, and you won't regret it!

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.

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.
