Hillary or Trump: Who will make America great again?
The Daily Beast

She sent and received classified emails from her personal account. He filed for bankruptcy multiple times. She helped spearhead a better healthcare system across the board. He created the Grand Hyatt and the Trump organization. It seems they both have accumulated mistakes and accomplishments. But who is actually best to fill the presidency?

Hillary has much experience in the field of politics; but it seems the American people are crying for change and honesty. Trump is a successful businessman; but people are afraid of his apparent bigotry and desire a more qualified candidate. No matter what your personal views are on social and economic issues, neither quite fits the bill for the ideal candidate. So who is going to fix America?

I am here to tell you that neither, yes neither, will fix America. The president has power, but it is the power of the people that instigates change. The future of America starts with us. We are the ones who work, the ones who enjoy the social programs, the ones whose voices decide policy. If we want America to be great, if we desire to keep America great, we must take the initiative ourselves.

I believe the future starts with us. It starts in our families, encouraging healthy lifestyles, teaching ethics, and instilling the values of honesty and hard work. And beyond that, it is about what we go above and beyond to do. It is about how we make our voice heard.

I want poverty to be eliminated in America; so I go serve at a free used clothing and houseware store, because that is what I can do. My mother desires to help the persecuted in the Middle East; so she donates money to charities that send aid. Maybe you want small businesses to experience greater freedom or taxes to change; you can email your representative or become a delegate for your county. If I can tell you one thing to give you hope, it is that it starts with you. There is no end to the possibilities of how we can keep America great.

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.

1. It's easy to be fooled by shiny things.

Tamatoa created a liar filled with shiny things simply for the purpose of tricking fish to enter and become his food. He too experiences a lesson in how easy it is to be tricked by shiny things when Moana distracts him by covering herself in glowing algae so Maui can grab his hook.
