Listening to Her & Respond
http://www.ydop.com/email-showdown-trump-vs-clinton/

With the upcoming election approaching, it seems like people's opinions are becoming louder some with valid points, others just are following the crowd. I've always researched my facts before I formed my personal presumption on whatever issue I was looking for. Even when I voted in my first election 8 years ago and everyone was raving about the fresh face Senator named Barack Obama who could make a difference in America, I formed my own opinion.

So this past week when I was in American History class I got into a heated debate on whether Trump or Clinton could run the country and who was more fit to be President of the United States. It didn't help that the professor kept baiting this young man to sound more foolish than he was. As I listened to the disturbed soul attack Clinton on how she has sexual predators and her alleged 400 email scandal, I posed a question about Trump's character and who was really qualified to run our country. If you look at it, we have a choice of the two lesser evils. If you filed bankruptcy at least 4 times in the last 15 years how can you make America great again? Then he went on to say just because her husband was president doesn't qualify her to be president. And because Trump has many companies, not a country that qualifies him was my rebuttal. Now after this debate with someone who has never ever voted in a election besides the recent local election we recently had and if he even voted, I was perplexed.

I had to recollect; if I was so naive 8 years ago when Obama stepped on the scene, sure everyone had an opinion, but the ultimate decision was mine to make. If people took time out to figure if the information they are receiving is real and accurate before jumping on the train that is bound straight to hell in a hand basket. The last thought I'm going to leave you with is we need to read , because everything someone doesn't want you to know is in writing so take sometime to see what they are saying. It may surprise you what is really on someone mind.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
