1. Life in College - For this topic, I would like to write about how life in college is so different to my years in high school.  What are benefits that I have in college that I didn't have in high school?  How is college preparing me for adulthood?  
2. Softball - A huge part of my life.  I've been playing for many years and it has changed me.  Before playing softball, I didn't enjoy other sports, because it wasn't right for me.  When I picked up a glove and bat, I fell in love with the sport and I'm still playing at the collegiate level.
3. Presidential Election 2016 - Many people were shocked by the results of this year's election.  I was surprised myself, because I thought this election was very close.  There are many things that Donald Trump will accomplish for the United States.
4. Major: Hospitality and Tourism - I am a Hospitality major here at Fairleigh Dickinson.  For my whole life, I've been around people who work in this industry.  My father has been working in hospitality for almost twenty-three years and I've always found this field interesting.  As a young girl, I have attended business parties, corporate events, etc. 
5. Writing - When I was growing up, writing used to be one of my weaker spots.  I could never sit down in class and write an essay in one period.  I would have bad anxiety, because I believed writing was too challenging and couldn't write a great story.  With extra help from teachers and tutors over the years, I felt more confident with writing and I would no longer give up. 
6. Family Legacies - Sports and hospitality has been a huge part of my life.  When I was high school, I knew right away I wanted to continue playing softball and major in hospitality.  My mom played basketball and softball in high school and college and my dad has been working in the industry for years.  I had many experiences in hospitality and I've been playing softball for years.
7. Rights for LGBT Community - A lot of people argue about if individuals in the LGBT community should have equal rights.  I think people who identify as gay, lesbian, etc. should have the same rights as others.
8. Social Media - Social media has drastically changed over many years.  Why is it a huge influence on today's generation?  I feel many people can become obsessed and take it too seriously.  There are a lot of people who don't take about the things they post online.  
9. Dealing with Bullies - When I was in elementary school, a lot of kids in my class would constantly pick on me.  I never understood why. Was it because of my learning disability or the way I looked?  It wasn't easy for me to deal with bullying.  I wasn't strong and I always felt like hiding rolled up in a corner.  I knew I had to start standing up for myself.
10. My Hero - There is one person in my family who I've always looked up to when I needed something: my older brother.  The advantages of having an older brother is I can ask him for advice and he will take me anywhere I would want to go.  I love my brother and I know he will be there for me whenever I need him.
