You made me stronger

A Thank You To My Haters
Shamia Casiano

In a previous article, I addressed 5 people all seniors should thank before they graduate. My sister said I should have included that they should thank their haters. But I have enough of those that they deserve an entire article.

We should all thank our haters, because they help shape not only who we are, but they also influence the way we think and feel about ourselves.

With out farther ado

To My Haters:

I'm sorry that you couldn't see and appreciate the awesomeness that is me. But even though you missed out on an amazing person, yo made me into a better person.

Thank you for creating a healthy rivalry.

Thank you for making me want to be the best possible version of myself.

Thank you for helping me build my confidence.

Thank you for pushing me to work harder.

Thank you for teaching me how to stick up for myself.

Thank you for making me realize that my worth doesn't come from other peoples opinions.

Most of all thank you for making me realize that it's okay if everyone doesn't like me. I like me and that's all that matters.

So here's to you haters and thank you for making me a better person.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
