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.

Dear Mom,

You took care of me and my brothers our entire lives and you still continue to! I will not be able to truly grasp all of the hard work that you put into this family until I create my own one day. But, I know that there are plenty of times I forgot to give you a simple thank you or an appreciative smile. I thank you for everything that you have done for me and will continue to do for me. Here are some examples of those times where you had my back and I forgot to pat your back for saving me:

College is hard. As people ages 18-22, we’re just trying to figure out what we’re doing with our lives, our careers, our eating habits, exercise routines, sleep patterns, and other necessities for adult life. We definitely don’t take proper care of ourselves; it’s basically impossible when we have essays, tests and readings due and somehow we’re supposed to eat right, exercise and sleep. We’re doomed to get sick. I have zero experience in science but when I get sick there are certain things I do to make myself better.

Now that it seems “talking” is the new way to date, and will stay that way until another idiotic term is used to describe the people who can’t settle down and just date someone, I feel as if it’s time to go over the unwritten rules of “talking.”

Rule 1. Having feeling without feeling.
