One Of The Greatest Speeches Of 2016

Our First Lady speaking the truth!

I honestly can not think of a woman that can effectively put down another presidential candidate with as much class and elegance as our wonderful first lady. She is known be to such a great role model for young girls all over the world and she has been one of the best first ladies that we have ever had. Her speech slamming Trump is just one of the many examples showing how she can effectively get her point across.

Ironically, a woman of color has the dignity and courage to put Trump in his place. One of the many types of people Trump puts down ends up dragging him down even lower. As Michelle Obama has once said, "When they go low, we go high." Michelle Obama's speech was just pure icing on the cake with the already crumbling Trump party. With more and more allegations building against Trump everyday, the more the world gets to see who he really is, if it weren't already obvious.

Many women have come forward with claims of sexual assault, but of course these claims are only seen as false by some. I believe that we should all sit down and look at the facts and face reality. We can not have a President with the characteristics and values that Trump possesses. Michelle Obama made it very clear in her speech about how much Trump's remarks affected her and how they are affecting what the children of America think.

Trump is a public figure showing children that it is okay to act the way that he does and still be able to get away with it. One of my favorite quotes that Obama said was, "Strong men don't need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful." That quote alone is saying a lot! Michelle Obama has once again shut the house down with her amazing speech. Some people even consider her speech to be one of the top speeches of the year. Without a doubt, I can definitely agree with that statement.

Michelle Obama was able to express her emotions and the emotions of many woman around the world in her speech. She had done it in a way that no other politician has been able to do so honestly and successfully. Michelle Obama is truly an amazing woman at heart and will be greatly missed as the Obama administration leaves office.

What I've Learned About Friendship During My First Year Of High School

Friendship isn't always as easy as it's made out to be.

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.

25 Things I Want My Younger Cousins To Know

A little advice for my original best friends

I've known you your entire life. More than likely I held you in the first three days of it and at least one of us cried. Cousins are truly one of the best things in the world and while sometimes I complain about how many people crowd Grandma's living room on Christmas Eve, I wouldn't trade you all anything.

You are my best friends, the only people who can understand what it's like on Thanksgiving, and you are the spunkiest people I have ever met. But you as so so young, most of you are just now starting your adventures in the public education system. I mean, I'm so very young too. I'm not married, I don't have children, heck, I just started my adult life, but I do want to give you what little advice I have. My dears, these are the things I want you to know.
