Sometimes becoming a leader of a country is tough because all the eyes of the people are staring at all your dealings and any little mistake you have done will create a bad notion to them. The good thing is as a president it is a great opportunity and you name will be inline with the famous Presidents you are considered as a hero of the nation like Emilio Aguinaldo, Ramon Magsaysay and Corazon ‘Cory’ Aquino that are known to have done something good in the nation. If I will be the President of the Philippines I have so many plans that already drawn in my mind to serve my countrymen.

If I will be the President of the Philippines I will revamp and improve all the parks in the country so that we can play with my family safe and sound. If I will be the President of the Philippines I will Implement a law that every student in schools are oblige to plant a tree on their backyard and this will be their assignment. They need to sprinkle the plant with water to grow on bounty, if I will be the President of the Philippines there will be a plenty of books in every school that students can read anytime and most especially those books with stories and poems about a true Filipino.

Nevertheless, they were very excited on achieving my dream because of my brilliant plans. I said that what is me today is not a hindrance that even a simple citizen like me can do a difference in my own way.
