With the recent divisive presidential campaign and the growing ethnic and religious tensions, Amazon Prime has released a commercial that conveys unity.

Amazon's commercial features a Christian Priest and Muslim Imam getting together for a cup of tea. The life long friends chat, share some laughs, and are depicted sympathizing about the pain of both their knees.

When the imam says his goodbyes, both friends have the brilliant idea of ordering knee pads for each other via Amazon Prime. The knee pads are delivered to each other and serve as the perfect gift to cushion the floor for prayer at the church and at the mosque.

Despite the priest and the imam having full devotion to their respective faiths, the beauty in this commercial is the expression of co-existing. It is a reminder that there is a place for all the diverse philosophical and religious traditions.

The commercial suggests that people from different backgrounds and faiths can spend time together and share gifts despite their differences.

It beautifully portrays the significance of unity and touches the hearts of it's audience by giving a sense of hope for a more unifying future.

For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

Daydreams, the savior of our life in class. Every type of student in the classroom does it at least once, but most cases it is an everyday event, especially in that boring class -- you know the one. But what are we thinking while we are daydreaming?

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
