Personal Narrative: My Bid For Presidency

Improved Essays
Before I even decided to place my bid for Presidency; I thought long and hard about how it would affect me personally, mentally and physically. I thought it was necessary to make the decision that is right for not only me but for the country as well. It was tough to decide if I was the right candidate for the Presidency, I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to run for candidacy after I lost so badly in two-thousand-eight to President Obama. Making up my mind wasn’t easy but I thought, everyday Americans want a champion, and I want to be that champion.

    Have you ever wondered as a little kid as what an ideal world would look like in America? I always thought that the world would be a perfect utopia, flying cars, no crime and food that you can put in the microwave and it instantly cooks.

    My non-vote Presidential Election Being the first year that I can actually vote I was quite disappointed in the candidates that were chosen to be elected for the presidential role. During their speeches I heard many errors in the debates they were conversing about, found nothing interesting in the topics either contender chose to talk about and I slowly became impassive. I personally felt like Trump was only running for the presidential election because his dislike towards Barack Obama. Now many will disagree with me on this but think about it, the first thing he wanted to do when he won the presidential election was to remove Obamacare.…

    Visions are only unique as the individual themselves who make up this country. America is not the same as it was ten years ago. Who would have thought that we would have cell phones that were similar to a small computer in our pocket, a car that could talk back to us, or that we would have an African American president? Our visions for America could change everyday. My vision for America is very unique for my age group.…

    Little bit of Yankee, little bit of Ya’ll. Maybe a catchy t-shirt slogan, but not necessarily untrue. Having lived half my life in both New England and the South, I often feel like a combination of my two home experiences. This can be a little unsettling: up North, I’ve “turned Southern”, but down South, I’m definitely a Northerner. Though sometimes difficult, I’ve grown to like the alternate viewpoints I’ve gained living in different locations.…

    I come from a poor family. I never had brand-name shoes or video games, or even a Lisa Frank binder and stickers like my friends at school, but I always had plenty of food in the fridge at home. My family never went hungry in spite of the fact that we were raised by a single mother who made her living as a coffee shop waitress. I did not know, till I was a teenager, that my mom bought the majority of our groceries with food stamps. It never seemed odd to me that she went to the grocery store one time a month and stocked up on milk, sugar, lunchmeat, chicken legs, hamburger meat, and most importantly, coffee.…

    To be an American is to be able to choose freely. Acts of terror seem to be more and more common, according to the media. In times of terror and strife the citizens of the United States of America come together no matter what beliefs and opinions we have to defeat the opposition. Secondly, America was built on immigrants, and as such we are open to diverse races and beliefs, and Americans consider people they have just met as friends. This is what I believe is my American Identity.…

    At a younger age, I would say I believed that I can only trust myself and my mother, this is because as a little kid my mom would always tell me that there are bad people in the world and that giving them any information about anything can be very harmful. But as I grew up and realized what was actually happening in my country I knew there were millions of others that were suffering against the “bad people” and we could only do something about it if the whole community came together to help. It was at that time when I was about 25, when I started to put some effort into trying to establish more just conditions within my country especially after the implication of extremely high food prices. This is when I started my first strike involving my…

    This past election was quite enlightening, as it was the first one where I had the mature intellect to pay attention to what was happening in this country. I remember feeling overjoyed in eighth grade that Barack Obama took office, but as for what actually happened during the election process? I had no clue, and my parents couldn’t even vote. But after living in this country for the past 15 years, my family can now say that we are U.S. citizens. It was a huge relief off our shoulders, but a new anxiety was cast with all the buzz I was hearing about the election.…

    I’m normally not one to talk about politics, but, well, this wasn’t a normal election. This presidential election was the first one that I, as a 21-year-old, was able to vote in, and you bet I exercised that right. I requested my absentee ballot, filled it out and overnight-ed it to my home state Florida, hoping that it would make a difference. Come Election Day, I flipped on CNN and vehemently watched the poll statistics pour in, only to find myself utterly shocked as Trump’s votes skyrocketed and Clinton’s stagnated.…
