 Being the head of more than a hundred million Filipinos is a very demanding and stressful job. I know that when you decided to take on the task, you were already ready to face the hardships of being the president of our republic. However, just recently I could see you from the news being angry to some of your critics.  Mr. President, I know that you are doing your best to serve your people. If there are some who are not satisfied with the way you govern our country, just let them be. Always remember that not a single politician like you is liked by everybody. You should try to relax and continue work harder for the common good of your people.  Always remember, Mr. President that you can never please everybody. So, hold on your horses and never get mad. Take good care of yourself. This country and its people still need you.

  I am a typical girl who comes from a family of commoners. Just like the people of my age, I dream, enjoy, and strive for a better life. But what differs from the rest is the way I see life. This year, I am turning sixteen, but I feel like my thinking is already with that of an adult. I need to be like this because I must serve as a good example to my siblings, being their eldest. No one told me to be like this, not even my parents, but this is what makes me happy. My being ordinary looking into the eyes of others doesn’t bother me at all, for in the eyes of my creator… I am special.
