Dear Mr. President

Hold on to the fact that you want to "Make America Great Again."

Dear Mr. President

I have been avoiding all the political debates and rants I see plastered on social media. I have not taken part in the hushed whispers circling the dorm room about the election.

Have Your Voice Heard: Become an Odyssey Creator

First of all, congratulations are in order. You did something that I never thought was possible. Going from thinking you running for president was a joke, to you winning.

I remember being a senior in high school when I first heard rumors of you running for president. I honestly thought it was the funniest thing I had ever heard. It was the joke you told over lunch with friends, it was the punch line, the talk of the cafeteria. But little did we know that your name would be on our first ballot we would be able to partake in.

There is something I need to get out of the way, Mr. President. I did not vote for you. Which is sad, coming from someone who is registered as a Republican party. I honestly agreed with most of the stuff you stand for. But I just could not bring myself to go through with it. You never told me what you were going to do, Mr. President. I feel like every time I heard you talk, you were defending yourself. If you weren't defending yourself you were bashing Hillary.

As soon as I stood behind that poll, ready and anxious to vote, all I could see were my nieces faces. All I could see was my brothers face as he puts on that police uniform to defend us every day. My two little brothers, who will be entering high school next year. I want them to look up to you, but how can they do that when you say it is okay to disrespect women the way you do?

Now this is in no way to hurt or try and tell you that you're a horrible person. This is simply how I feel, Mr. President. But here is what I can promise you. I am going to keep an open mind about this, I will not be negative about ever little thing. Because I honestly believe you want the best for us. I hope you never lose sight of that, and don't run that mouth of yours. I know I am guilty of that too, but you have a little bit more at stake than I do.

Most importantly I hope you never lose sight of who is truly in charge. You are there for a purpose, you are The President of the United States of America because Jesus put you there. You have a path ahead of you, and I pray that is carefully revealed to you, and that you listen.

Please don't let me down Mr. President. I want to say that out of the negativity, I fought to find the light and you proved to be worthy of that Oval Office you sit in.

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.
