#inauguration

What. A. Day. There are definitely a lot of varying opinions about Donald J. Trump becoming our 45th President of the United States of America. During this process I loved watching past presidents and leaders set aside the hate and come together. I feel this is important because in order to truly "Make America Great Again", we need to create an accepting atmosphere.  I felt Trump did a decent job in addressing this issue of how we need to come together as a nation to create positive change.

Protests on protests! This particular protest took place the night before inauguration day. A statement that has become popular to those who are in fact protesting Trump is "Not my president", as well as, "We are the popular vote", (as you see on the snap-chat story from the "News" category) insisting that Trump be taken out of office because technically, he didn't win the popular vote, which does frustrate a lot of people. Many people, including celebrities attended this rally, in hopes of making a statement.

It's sad, but at this point, I think it's time to put the signs down and start supporting one another, even if that means Trump is our president. As a nation, we need to start building each other up. Yes, Trump has had very controversial statements come out of his mouth as well as on screen (twitter), but action wise, he hasn't technically done anything worth griping about. I'm putting down my pitch forks until he does something that directly effects people in an unjust and/or negative way.


I don't know what Trump has planned, but I believe every human being is important and should be treated fair. No matter their race, gender, or sexuality. Every person has value. There have been several instances where Mr. Trump has made inappropriate comments about woman, Hispanics, and other minorities. For this reason, I believe that he has created a lot of enemies not only for himself, but also for his supporters.

Throughout this whole process people have become divided, upset and even dangerous in some circumstances. There were over 200 people arrested, along with six police officers that were injured on Trumps inauguration day. YOU'RE KIDDING, RIGHT? This is NOT how America should be functioning! CNN Inauguration Protests goes into more detail of what took place during inauguration. It also shows a detailed video of some of the harmful protests in Washington.

Facebook Campaign - "Dixie State University Ambassadors"

Mission Statement "Our ambassadors are a great tool for you to use in your college search. They each have real experiences inside and outside of the classroom to give you an idea of what your life as a DSU student can be. They are here to help answer any questions you might have regarding college. Ambassadors also participate in a variety of recruitment events including high school visits, student host weekends, as well as giving the campus tours." I am mainly trying to target high school seniors, seeing as they are the majority of students that we work with on campus. Though we will also target transfer students, as well as "return to learn" students. People of all ages are welcome to a tour. On this page you will find various tools to help you get in contact with us. What I would love to have happen is people use this site to "sign up" for a campus tour.

The top 5 things that influence what, why, and how I believe are: My family and how I was raised   My Religion (Mormon)    My friends My personal life experiences (good and bad)  My personality  Just because something appears one way doesn't always mean it's the right way. Whether you're right or wrong, I believe that it's important to gain perspective and try to look at something from another persons point of view. You might be asking yourself, "Well if I'm right then why does it matter to try and look at another persons point of view?"  Important to remember:  Just because you listen to someone else opinion does not mean you have to agree with their opinion. Here's a few reasons why I think it is vital to try and understand why other people think the way they do:   You might learn something new Maybe you're looking at it the wrong way A new perspective never hurts Now you better understand someone else and have increased ...
