Politics: A Question of Character, Not Necessarily Policies



Is it strange that when so many people are worried about policies in these debates I can’t help but judge based on character.  How could you be so belittling to each other in such ways?  Could you not build yourself up without tearing the other down? 
The same goes for all the citizens and voters as well as people from other countries who’s opinions I've had to read through websites.  Yes, of course our president concerns you.  Everything about the U.S. concerns the world.
However; we have become so corrupt that we allow our own opinions to ruin our relationships with each other.  We have become a prideful world and yet we can’t look at ourselves and see it. 
Wouldn't we want a leader who could teach by example the way that we should be?  Kind, helpful, compassionate, merciful, and just.  Maybe I sound a little religious but I can’t help but be discouraged by the people in our world.  
So depressing.

Production 1

Simply a class at UNLV. Requirement for any dance major. Although most people find it frustrating I'm quite enjoying it! We've had students come from Korea to dance with the UNLV students and I met the cutest kid, DaeHwan! He's my favorite always calls me by my full name, "Alina Cooper."

Yes this week has been stressful but I've enjoyed a lot about it and I can't complain. I'm definitely going to remember this week for the rest of my life. Being backstage and being in charge of curtains and props is fun but I do really miss dancing on stage. Performing. Can't wait to be in the spotlight again.

Halfway into my first semester and UNLV and I'm glad I'm here. I'm also ready for it to be over already in a funny way of looking at it. I want to move on and dance elsewhere, get noticed, try new things. But all will come in good time (:

Can't wait for next week's long weekend! I'll post again soon!
