Vote For A Better Future

This is the most important election in a millennial's life.

Vote For A Better Future
Polis for Congress

In one word, I am concerned. This upcoming presidential election has me concerned for my future, and as a young adult soon to be graduating from undergraduate studies, this election will most definitely shape my future. I understand that people vote for a variety of reasons, and vote for the reasons that are more important to them personally. In reality, there is no perfect choice for president. Both candidates have serious flaws, and it has become a question of who is worse than the other. Unfortunately, this question shapes my future.

My main issue right now regards the economy, because I want to be able to find a profitable job in the private sector once I graduate. The issue with this is that the candidate that will probably arise victorious, as no concern for small business, and only wants to expand government control via excessive taxation and contingencies. The candidate that would look out for and has proven to succeed in the private sector, has taken honesty to a new level, making him very unattractive to the undecided voters.

Also, as a woman, who has grown up surrounded by privileges due to the benefits of hard work, and taking advantage of the American Dream, I understand the quality of hard work. I am beyond irritated that the Obama Administration has undermined hard work, and takes from people who work hard for a living and give their hard earned money to people who do not. I look back on my life and I see that if my Grandfather had started his company in a time like this, with an administration like Obama's and a possible future administration like Hillary Clinton's, then my life would be drastically different today. This fact alone makes me concerned for my future.

Unfortunately, due to the enormous amount of corruption that the Clintons have proven to be a part of, I am afraid that the candidate who would actually work with my future in mind has no chance. If there is a chance for the Republican party to deem victorious this election, then it requires that every person, especially young people, vote for a better future. Clinton only cares about her future, and her benefit, so everyone must vote against her in the coming weeks.

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.
