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.

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.

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.
