TEXTFIELD ALIGNMENT
Difference between Top/Middle/Bottom:
Top: Starts from Top & Pulls down the text to next line and maintains alignment in textfield to top.
Middle: Starts the text in the middle and pushes text to top and centers everything in textfield.
Bottom: Starts from bottom & pushes text to top and maintains alignment in textfield to bottom.
