Are you sad about the missed opportunities or happy for all of the opportunities that lie ahead in your future? There is such a difference in being a pessimist and an optimist. So as I stared into Abraham Lincoln’s eyes wondering what propelled him to make this quote, I began to think of our current President-Elect: Mr. Donald Trump. I know, this is what everyone is talking about. But that’s okay, because I am not going to sit here and complain, or talk about how unfair this whole thing is. I am going to look at that thorn bush and rejoice because it has roses! We, as a country, have never experienced such a shocking election. But you know what? It happened.

Everyone deserves a chance to prove the doubters wrong, so that is what I am going to give him.
