Soccer is a sport loved by people world wide. Soccer brings people together, just like it brought my dad and I closer! My Dad and I share a special bond over soccer that I would not trade for anything! There are several things that I could thank him for, however here are just a few of the many...

Thank you for putting me in AYSO and starting this whole journey!

Thank you for all of the seasons that you and mom had to pack after game goodie bags…. those were the best.

Thank you for buying me my first soccer bag, I may have been a tiny 7 year old but I felt like Alex Morgan.

Thank you for never missing a game or practice.

Thank you for pushing me to the next level by encouraging me to tryout for travel.

Thank you for stepping up and coaching when necessary.

Thank you for driving me all across the state and to out of state tournaments.

Thank you for dealing with my smelly, sweaty self on the long car rides home.

Thank you for buying me all of the coolest cleats.

Thank you for pushing me no matter how frustrated I got with you.

Thank you for practicing in the backyard with me, and for taking me to the field to shoot around.

Thank you for making me strive to be the best player I could be.

Thank you for all the urgent care trips that you had to take…

Thank you for pushing me so hard that I was able to play varsity soccer all four years of high school.

Thank you for helping me to accomplish all of my soccer goals.

Thank you for being the loudest and proudest soccer dad around…. even if that did mean constantly yelling at the refs….

Thank you for all of the money you put into my soccer career.

Thank you for all of the good luck messages.

Thank you for always pushing me, no matter how hard I fought you about it…

Thank you for giving me a passion that I will have for a lifetime!

But most importantly, thank you for being the best soccer dad you could be. Without you I wouldn’t be who I am today! I will forever be thankful for the bond that we share over soccer. I will always cherish all of the memories we have that developed because of soccer, and all of the future memories to come. I love you so much!

Thank you again, Dad!

Love,

Daddy’s little soccer princess

Happy Father's Day 2016, Dad! I love you!

xoxo, Nicole

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

1. When course schedules are released and you have a conflict between two required classes.

2. When there is only one section of a popular course.

3. Receiving the 18,000 emails reminding you to register ASAP.

4. When you need to see an advisor, but they are too busy/unresponsive.

5. Trying not to dress like a bum for your appointments with your advisors/department heads.

6. When you have a perfectly planned out schedule, and one class ruins it.

7. Carefully moving things around to accommodate a different class/section.

8. Waking up at 6:00 a.m. for your enrollment time.

9. Concocting a new schedule at your enrollment time after your original plan gets changed.

10. Getting into a class and filling the last available seat.

11. When all of your classes finally go through.

12. Realizing that you forgot a class that was a pre-requisite for everything else.

When your capability of "adulting" is put to the test

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

"Nobody living in one of the most influential nations in the world should be worried about making ends meet."

Because who understands your bitterness better than April?

1. When you have to provide an "interesting fact" for your first day ice-breaker.

2. When your professor is babbling on and on in his lecture.

3. When you edit your friend's paper and they get an A.

4. When it's 2 AM and you remember you have a test tomorrow.

5. When you finish taking the test and you're pretty sure you failed...

6. ...but then you get the test back and somehow passed.

7. When you've been up for 12 hours straight writing a paper.

8. And then you manage to stay awake in class the next day.

9. When you have to butter up your professor for an extra credit opportunity.

10. When you're assigned a group project.

11. And your group-mates are trying to chat about life instead of the assignment.

12. When it's your last class of the day and you're about to go home.

13. But then you remember rent is due tonight and the anger comes back.
