I really Do Care, Don't 'U'?

Let's show them how much we care.

I really Do Care, Don't 'U'?

"There are a lot of illegal immigrants living on my street. Some are living in basements and I want them out of here. I called the police, but they told me to call legal services. This is a law office, right? Can you do something for me?"

"Umm, I'm going to transfer you over to an attorney, give me a second."

I transferred this angry man over to an attorney, where the attorney proceeded to tell him, "Sir, we help illegal immigrants become legal, we don't deport them."

He got so angry, cursed at the attorney and hung up the phone. I asked, "People like this actually exist? They go out of their way to do this? Why?"

"Trump's our president, these people are at an all-time high They've been given permission to do these things without being condemned. Welcome to America."

Children are being separated from their families. And, well, our First Lady clearly has her opinions about that.

But if you care for just a bit, you can actually help these immigrant children that're separated from their parents. I have two major recommendations for you.

1. You can donate to The Refugee and Immigrant Center for Education and Legal Services (RAICES). This nonprofit works to pay the necessary fund. To release parents from detention and reunite them with their children.

2. For anyone who lives in New Jersey, you're lucky to have Gov. Murphy who has refused to provide any state resources from being used to help federal authorities separate families. On top of that, you can look at your zip code into the ACLU's website, call the number and say: Hi, my name is [YOUR NAME] and my zip code is [YOUR ZIP]. I'm urging the Senator to denounce Trump's family separation policy and use all of Congress' authority to stop it.

And worst comes to worst, at least you tried. At least you tried to do something to help. So, I beg of you, don't let Trump's America define us. Call, donate, go to a protest, do what you have to do. But, I beg of you, do something.

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.

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.
