Respect our Leaders

 In a few weeks, President-Elect Trump will take office as our next President. This has caused a lot of unrest on our nation and also the world. A lot of people are so scared. Certain groups such as immigrants and people in the LBGT community feel threatened. It is scary to see so much division here in what we call the United States of America. Are we really united? Are we really together? Are we so set in our ways that we divide our own nation into groups? We divide us into communities- LBGT, African American, White, and so on and so forth. We blamed Obama for this division, and now we focus our blame on Trump. The thing is, when we focus our blame on one person we lose the much bigger picture. The bigger picture is that each of us make the choices we make. We need to look deep inside ourselves and hold ourselves accountable for our own. If we really want things change in our nation, our world, we need to look inside ourselves. Nothing will change unless we look deep inside ourselves and be the part of the change. I am also saying that we have a responsibility as hard as it may seem to respect all our leaders including Trump. If we do not show respect for our leaders then nothing is going to change. We need to work together as one. Division will never get better if we do not respect those in authority. I believe in America. I truly believe that if everyone looks inside themselves then we can truly be united again. Let's break down the walls that divide us and move forward together. We depend on this and our children depend on this!

  1. Very well thought and very well written. The violence that I've seen after Trump being elected scares me as well, and the anger. We need to start seeing each other as human beings instead of a person of race, gender or sexual identity.
