I am a millennial. I work full-time, will be attending college with a complete class load, own my own car I bought myself, and pay rent. You will tell me I am one of few, but as I look around there many others just like me. I’m a millennial. I refuse to decide on a political party because it is unnecessary and primarily the reason our country is failing. I’m a millennial. I read books and Facebook posts but I’m well aware of which one is more knowledgeable if you were concerned. I support the LGBTQ community because politics should have no correlation with who you love. I believe that as long as there is a drug epidemic in this country addiction should be seen as an illness instead of a crime. I believe in volunteering and working for everything you receive. I'm a millennial.

I believe that there is no way that Donald Trump will make America great again but neither will Hillary and if you ask me who I’m going to vote I will sternly tell you neither. I will not choose between the less of two evils when I can vividly view both of their corruption. Hilary clearly should have been charged for her crimes in Benghazi and can’t we realize that shady business is what landed America in the boat we are in now? Trump’s tried business ethics would just make it worse. I’m a millennial. I believe in unity and independence but not seclusion of those we are told are inferior. I’m disgusted by politics and how the union has changed from its originality to a corrupt system in which the people no longer have control. Before I am anything I am a human and I will give everyone else I look at the same dignity to be solely a human also. I’m a millennial.

My opinions are ever changing because I have been taught to keep an open mind. I won't fall into the media trap that has seamlessly tore this country apart and I advise you to not either. This world has so much possibility for me to be optimistic about and considering I am a millennial and we are statistically the most optimistic generation I guess that fits. Clearly not every millennial has the same views as me but isn't that the point? That we can all be from the same era but think out of our own boxes. So please before you title me “another millennial”, remember that a few people's actions do not define us as a whole. I am a millennial, but before I am anything, I am human. Please treat me as so. God bless.

MILLENNIAL: Mid 1970's to early 2000's.
