We are living in a time where, for some, the changing happening around the nation is seen as strong, impactful, and living up to some individuals values. But that is not the case for millions of others.

Some people are waking up and being greeted with the news that they are going to be affected in someway or another. Everyday, a new group of minorities are targeted and impacted.

If this is the case for you, I want to remind you of some things. If you need to be reminded of this everyday, then read this everyday. But remember, you are WORTH IT.


1. You will never be silenced

You will use your first amendment right to stand up for what you believe in.

2. You have the power

If you're a high school student, you can do it. If you're a college student, YOU can do it. If you're a parent, YOU can do it. Everyone has the power of CHANGE in their hands.

3. You have my support

And so do MILLIONS of others; I promise you.

4. You will make it

Don't think about the alternative ending. Set your goal and let that be your vision.

5. You CAN push through

Don't let the failure demon drag you down. You are so much stronger than that.

6. Wake up everyday with the urge to fight

I know this is a tough one, but if you need to cry and think about the horrible things do it, but always remember you have to wake up the next day with the urge to fight. It doesn't have to stop when the tears are too much to handle.

7. Listen to the people who disagree with you the most

Nothing will happen if you don't get a change to work with the other side. There can be some common ground that might save a lot.

8. Always remember that it ismore than okay to fail at first

If you don't succeed the first time, always remember to get back up and try again. You never know when the right time will come.

9. Surround yourself with people who want to fight the same fights

Make a group, join a group, or even make donations to organizations online. When you are a part of something special, you know you are doing something big.

10. Take care of yourself

Love what you do. Do it with a passion. Do what you do for yourself and the community.

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.
