Every day, people live lives they don't feel mean anything. The things they do don't seem to have meaning in the bigger picture of things, and they're really only living to make the best of their own insignificant life. It's depressing to think that countless individuals think they're just a drop in the ocean, and they make no difference to the world. That is the furthest thing from the truth.

Every person has an ability to change the world every day. Changing the world doesn't happen overnight or by one person, but a drop still creates a ripple that eventually can turn into a wave. Each person has a chance to make this world a better place, one act of kindness at a time. It may not seem like you're changing the world, but you are. The actions you do effect those around you in ways you'll never know, and those effects can be the beginning of a better world. It's like a web-- we're each only a tiny part, but through our connections we create this magnificent thing.

I've had countless individuals inspire me without even knowing they've driven me to want more from myself. They taught me lessons on how to do the right thing and be a better person, and this happens every day. People help push people in positive directions without ever knowing they are, but it's these small things that lead to more. Helping one person starts a chain reaction, and sometimes even by just changing that one person's world you've changed the whole world. You never know what they can do with the inspiration you gave them.

You may see your actions as small, but everything starts somewhere. Your actions can easily be the starting place of something great. Your small gestures or actions can change the world, but you can also do more than you think. You have the ability to change things on a larger scale too if you put forth the effort. You and everyone else have a thousand chances to start changing the world, don't waste them.

The world is not a perfect place and never will be, but it can still improve. Step out in the world and help make the changes it needs. Start small or go big, either way just start doing something. You have a chance to make the world a better place, don't waste your chance. Take every opportunity you get to do good; you could be the difference between something amazing and a disaster. You just have to take the chance.

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.

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.
