Nation needs to bond together in difficult times
The evening of Tuesday, Nov. 8, was a game-changer in the history of our nation. In a shockingly close race, Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton and was chosen by the American people as president-elect of the United States of America. To say the nation — the world — was stunned and upset would be an […]

Third-party votes still matter
All my life, politics has been a highly interesting topic for me. Both my parents keep up with the news, which means family dinners more often than not involved something politically charged. I did high school speech and debate for five years, which means for five years I was up to my elbows in foreign […]

Sexual harassment still exists in the workplace
Growing up, you are supposed to worry about getting good grades, who is going to ask you to prom and whether or not you wowed your potential boss at that one job interview. Growing up, you are supposed to look forward to the opportunities you can create for yourself in life not based on gender, […]
Support expressed by means of prayer
World Trade Center. San Bernardino. Paris. Brussels. These words, which once meant nothing to certain parts of the world, are now pinpoints on the global map because they all have tragedy in common. The world responds to tragedy in different ways. Some people either turn off their television, crank the news stations louder or pick […]
