In the midst of companies trying to right their wrongs, Disney has been working on diversity and inclusion in their own company for years. They have donated millions to black organizations and stand in solidarity with the black community. They took it a step forward with one of their classic rides.

if you did not know, Splash Mountain was based off of the film Song of The South. It is notoriusly known for it's ties to glorifying the times of slavery. Disney had been developing a plan to change the ride to a new film design. People have given suggestions to Star Wars, Pinochio, Coco, even a Disney channel show. But last month Disneyworld decided to change the ride's look to that of Princess and the Frog. Eleven years after the movie was released, Tiana is finally having a place in Magic Kingdom.

Of course Disney fans are in their feelings because of the memories of the previous ride. The coaster will still be the same, it will just be modeled to display scenes from the movie. Imagine going up the to the drop and hearing "Friends on the other Side", singing "Almost There" to at the beginning entrance, the dancing frogs as you roll through in the moat. And let's be honest, Tiana is that one princess that's forgotten about. She was introduced to us when we were leaving our "I want to be a princess" phase but still got love for Disney. Tiana doesn't get the love she deserves but now she finally gets the shine she deserves.

These are the first of many changes coming to Disney Parks and other parts of the company that is set to happen in the next couple of years. Giving the recognition to black characters says a lot to young black children to see people who look like them be recognized.

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.
