My America

We are the last hope.

My America
Walops

We are a country of free choice

where you hear everyone's voice.

The red, white, and blue

all are colors of the true.

We fight anyone who harms our ways

those who have made the darkest of days.

So why now is there so much fear

no more laughter, but only tears.

Is it temporary, is it a phase?

has America lost its ways?

It is something we have not envisioned

the second American division.

Pick your side, blue or red

Either could care less if you were dead.

What will we do, now that it is complete

Voting for the man in charge of our fleets.

Was this really, just and election

Or was it a nationwide detention.

We have to solve this issue from the core

in order to make America what it was before.

A place of honor, courage, and pride

somewhere that didn't make us pick a side.

Look to your left and then to your right

The people around you are worth the fight.

Stop the violence stop the beatings

no more savages, no more heathens.

Make America great and stronger together

the phrases that will haunt all of us forever.

The election decision was not the mistake

but the reactions of violence, leaving lives at stake.

Be kind, be honest, be free

make this country for you and me.

Do not step on the flag, or let it burn in the fire

Trust me, hate is not your desire.

Let us come together and spread the word

to make a revolution that must be heard.

We will keep this as the land of the free

just continue to follow me

And keep this as the home of the brave

we refuse to be a puppet or a slave.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. 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…

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.
