An "innocent's" point of view
Since childhood I always wanted to be a lawyer. I interest myself on current issues on my country and my peers and parents have always been supportive of me. They always encourage me to pursue my dreams and be a politician because, according to them, lawyers make a good politician.
As of lately I changed my mind. With all that's happening in our country, where people die everyday because of power- greedy people, I stand up and say POLITICS SUCK!
Right now I am a holder of a decent degree from a well- respected university. I'm into a low-paying job but still I'm proud because I still have my philosophies intact with me and I'm proud to say that I work with great integrity and always striving to be the best by always bringing out the best in me.
Now that, I think, makes a good politician. (Mind you, I'm not-- and never had a plan-- running for office!)
