Why I Want To Become President
Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness: these are three of the most precious and valuable basic and fundamental human rights of the human race. Each day we strive towards obtaining these rights but oftentimes we take them for granted. As a citizen of human society and the American race, I too strive to obtain these rights, but at the same time, I believe that it is our responsibility to ensure that all persons not just here in the United States have the opportunity to partake in these fundamental human rights. For this reason, I have dedicated my life to work towards making this more of a reality than it is today, and I have all intentions to do so through the office of the President of the United States.
Many people often ask why I want to become President and what I have to offer to this country. To those who ask this, my answer is peace, prosperity, a continued assurance of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness and the opportunity for those not just in the United States, but all over the world to be able totake part and have these fundamental rights, rights that I believe all human beings were granted upon birth into this world. Since I was young, I have always wanted to see and live in a country where everyone had the opportunity to succeed, achieve their goals, and live happy and productive lives. The fact of the matter is such a dream is anything but reality. There are thousands of people around America who are poor, live in or below poverty, are homeless, go without food, and jobless. The key to leading happy lives and to fully enjoy our rights as human beings is having the ability to provide for ones self and ones family, and that means having a roof over ones head, having a job that pays enough to provide for ones self and ones family and having the ability to live comfortably without worries of going hungry, going homeless, and not being able to provide for self and family. I cannot and will not say what I will do when and if I become president because the state of America can and will change between now and then, but what I plan to do is work towards increasing the amount of jobs in America so that those who have no jobs can find jobs in America, and if needs be, provide a more effective means of giving those who are in need of jobs and lack the skills to obtain one, the education necessary to do so. I plan on reforming the health care system so that all Americans are taken care of medically because a country is not doing what it needs to take care of its people if there are those who have no choice but to go without adequate medical coverage or go with no coverage at all. I plan to reform America’s education system because our children represent the future of America and if our children lack the education necessary to succeed in today’s world highly advanced technical world, they will be unable and unwilling to obtain jobs necessary to adequately care for themselves and their families later in their lives. In addition, if we do not put more money into our children and their education, we have failed ourselves as a civilization because we are not making contributions to our nation’s progression.
Since America’s entry into World War I, ending the country’s policy of isolationism, the office of the President has become increasingly powerful as the office of the American President brings on the responsibility of leader of the free world. America, as the only remaining super power following the Cold War of the 1950’s through 1990’s, has an obligation to the world to spread freedom and democracy throughout the world to nations who lack or blatantly deny their citizens of their god given fundamental rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The United States is in a unique position in the world unlike the world has ever seen. Nations look up to us, mimic our culture, and strive to have the same rights and freedoms that we as productive Americans take for granted on a day to day basis. We have an obligation to help them realize these rights and freedoms, and we should do everything in our power to ensuring that they are able to partake in these rights and freedoms. The United States also acts as a world peacekeeper. Since World War I, we have taken hundreds of military actions aimed at keeping the peace worldwide and spreading freedom. The United States continues with that tradition today as we see in Iraq, beginning with the ousting of Iranian dictator Sadaam Hussein and the installation of an free and democratic Iraqi government who acts in accordance with the needs and wants of the Iraqi people. I believe that the United States should continue to fund these peacekeeping actions so as to spread freedom and democracy throughout the world so that those who are not fortunate to partake in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness may do so and so that they too may appreciate and take these rights for granted as we Americans do.
In my struggle to become President, though I am still very far from realizing that dream, I look to those who share the same views and beliefs as me for their support and when the time comes, their vote, because though we are not of the same nationality, those who are not Americans are still our human brethren and family. Just as we would help and assist those who are part of our family, we should do so for all those who are part of the human family, because that is precisely what we are, family. We are no different from them as than they are different from us. Now, many people do not believe that I will ever become President and they have no faith that I have the ability to become president or show the qualities and abilities as our past Presidents, but let there be no mistake, while they may end up being right in the long run, and while I may fail in my goal to become President of the United States, I am not like any other person who has become President. I believe that those who represent the people of America best are best qualified to run this country. There is no constitutional requirement on how a person needs to act, how they need to think, or how rich or poor that person needs to be to become President of the United States, and so long as I have a love for my American and international brethren and want nothing but the best for them, I will continue to push to make my dream a reality. I will not be discouraged by a hand full of people who doubt me or have no interest in seeing me become President. I may be unable to become President in the long run, but one thing I am not, is lacking of courage, imagination, and persistence. I will see my dream to the end. I will continue to try to make the world around me a better place; I will continue to fight for the rights of all Americans and people around the world, even if I fall short in reaching my own goal. I WILL continue to fight for the people and there is nothing anyone can say to discourage me from doing so, whether they have faith in me or not. So long as I believe in my ability to do so, I will do just that.
In conclusion, I would just like to say thank you to those who support me in my pursuit to make a difference in the world. With continued support, I know I can succeed in seeing my goals and dreams come true, for the betterment of America and the world. To those who do not support me and who doubt me, you have every right to do so, but there is one principal I have always lived by and it was best quoted by NASA Flight Director Jean Kranz during the Apollo 13 crisis in 1969: “Failure is not an option”. I WILL succeed even if I fall short.
