Why You Should Vote For My Dad On November 8
Hayley White

After the horrifying second presidential debate that was aired Sunday night, I would not be surprised if many citizens were looking for a way out. The presidential debate proved comical, a terrifying awakening since the reality of the situation is that one of these two candidates will hold the future of our nation in his or her hands. The two politicians spent their air time attacking each other over headlines that have already been over-publicized. Trump spent his time discussing his hatred for ISIS, Hillary's illegal emails and avoiding the recent leak of his "locker-room talk." Hillary spent her time demanding Trump's tax returns, picking apart his "locker-room talk" and lightly discussing her policies.

As an American citizen, I am embarrassed at the level of maturity that was nonexistent in this debate. Our two candidates are acting like teenagers; fighting over Twitter, speaking over each other and forever trying to make each other look bad. If this is not enough already, our third party candidate is making it extremely hard to vote for him. With his lack of knowledge concerning foreign disputes and diplomats, we can not be positive as to how qualified this candidate is for this position. This is why I am proposing a way out.

Vote for my dad.

My dad, Derrick White, is not only a qualified candidate but also my hero. A 48-year-old American-born citizen, my dad is a staple for the kind of man you want to run a country. He has been a Kansas City firefighter for 21 years, risking his life every day to serve and protect his community. He respects the opinions and decisions of others, not always agreeing with them, but respecting them none the less. He is an open-minded, yet strong-moraled, gentlemen who consistently puts his loved ones first. He understands the importance of professionalism in the workplace, but also the joy and goofiness needed to create a fun environment.

My dad is a wise man with the ability to captivate those who are willing to listen to his stories. His advice is bulletproof, proving true and right more times than I would like to admit. His support and encouragement for others are outstanding, proving his desire for the success of his fellow citizens. He is the one we look to for the tough decision making, he is the one we trust. He is an honest man with integrity and insight. He is an active voter and stays up to date with current events. He does have a twitter, however, he uses it to promote the things he likes instead of trash the things he hates. Plus, since our last name is White, we are technically already living in the White House so the transition there should not be too hard. So remember:

Vote for my dad, because a vote for him is one less vote for Hillary and Donald.

7 Ways to Make Your Language More Transgender and Nonbinary Inclusive

With more people becoming aware of transgender and non-binary people, there have been a lot of questions circulating online and elsewhere about how to be more inclusive. Language is very important in making a space safer for trans and non-binary individuals. With language, there is an established and built-in measure of whether a place could be safe or unsafe. If the wrong language is used, the place is unsafe and shows a lack of education on trans and non-binary issues. With the right language and education, there can be more safe spaces for trans and non-binary people to exist without feeling the need to hide their identities or feel threatened for merely existing.
