Happy Birthday, Mom!
My mother's photo book

A birthday is a day dedicated to the celebration of you. You get to blow out some candles, eat cake, and open gifts. However, that isn't what it is all about. You get to rekindle old memories of the previous years. It is a time where you get reminded why others love you. Since it is my mother's birthday today (September 29th) I am writing an article dedicated to her. Since I don't have sixty candles you can blow out, I am going to tell you my top six things I love about you and what others said they loved about you.



I Love You Because

1. You ask about my day

Ever since I was a kid you have always asked me how my day was. You didn't just accept an answer as simple as "fine" either. You wanted to know every detail about my day. You made me really believe that what I did throughout the day was important to you and you wanted to hear it. Even now, in my junior year of college, you ask me about my day.


2. You say "I love you

There has never been one day in my life that I haven't ever felted loved by you because you always tell me you love me. It isn't this thing you say when I leave or get off the phone. It is something you tell me every second of the day and every day of the year. You have always told me that you always want me to know that I am loved.


3. You give me hugs and kisses

If your words weren't enough to let me know you love me, your hugs and kisses would be the icing on the cake. You always give me a hug and kiss whenever I leave your side. Sometimes, I will even get more than one of each. They really do help me get through the hard days.


4. You put me first

From the minute I was born, you put me first. I was set above your needs and desires. If I wanted to anything, you would find a way to get it to me. You never made me feel like I was second to anything.


5. You're a my best friend

You have always been my best friend. You have my back and stand by my side whenever I need a shoulder a cry on. You're also my biggest fan.


6. You're my mom

Lastly, you are not just any mom, but you are my mom. Also, you are the best mom. You tuck me in, read me bed time stories, sleep with me when I am scared, give me a band aid when I am hurt, rub my tummy, and feed me soup when I am sick.



They Love You Because

Elisha Morgan

"She is loving, kind, strong willed, and my inside source to figure out her daughter. On the plus side, she gave birth to the woman I love."


Savanna Williams

"I love so many things about your mom. My favorite thing I love how when she greets me. She always lovingly embraces me like I am her own daughter. Also, I love how she is so invested in my life. She is always asking how I am doing or my family."


Carra Spencer

"I love how she is so loving she is to everyone."


Veronica Williams

"It is so hard to list just one thing. I love how she lives such a Christian life. She shows it in her actions. She makes everyone feel so good. We could not talk for months, but if I needed her she would be there for me in a heartbeat."


Brenda Quattlebaum

"I love that she is such a faithful friend. She is always there for me and praying for me."


George Chen

"I love her for everything she is. She is lovable, caring, and kind. Also, she is always willing to sacrifice her [needs or wants] for her families.

Happy birthday, Mom. I love you, and I look forward to celebrating another birthday with you.

Bonus points if it is more than two.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

April Ludgate

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
