Do Actions Speak Louder Than Words?

Trump already showed us who he is

On November 9th Trump was announced to be the next President of the United States of America. A lot of U.S. citizens were devastated at the shocking results because they thought Trump was certain to lose the election. I remember I stayed up till about 1:30 AM and fell asleep, but I kept waking up to see if they had the final results of the election. Finally at 3:00 AM, I woke up for a fifth time and saw that he won. I had no energy for a reaction because I was too tired to even continue watching. I see some people are giving Trump the benefit of the doubt, and on Saturday Night Live, Dave Chappell hosted and said he was willing to give Trump a chance.

I would really like to give Trump a chance. Really, I would like to, but it’s very difficult to try and look over the things he has said during the Presidential race. Racist comments, making fun of a disabled man, grabbing women by the…. It’s hard to see past that. I’ve heard some say that they agree his words have been harsh, but they will wait and see what he does during his presidency. I’ve heard many times before if someone shows you who they are, believe them. Trump is now electing representatives to work besides him, but they are white supremacist. It’s not looking too good so far. People who are for Trump really have no clue about what this country is about in today’s society. The fact that people from different countries moved here and worked hard to make a living, helped build this country to what it is.

For the evangelicals that voted for him because they believe so much in what he stands for, I personally believe is selfish. Without a second thought of the well being of Muslims, without a second thought of the well being of Mexicans, without the thought of the well being of Blacks. Did you think that they deserve a chance of fairness in this country? A chance to live, and a chance to survive? What happened to love one another as you love yourselves? I think Trump will show us his actions, and it will match his words.

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.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. 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.
