Who will be affected and what are the consequences when we vote? If we are to choose our next leader then our role and standards must be high because we're not the only ones who will benefit.

Us voting is already an important role. We're the ones that supposed to be served by our chosen Leader for our comfort, not serving them while making them rich. Our duty is to choose the perfect or suitable person who is professional at what they do and what they will do for the country. They must be a role model that won't ruin other people's image just to make theirs look good.

Our choice and trust is important because it's also for our country so the future of next generation depends on us. They're the ones who will be affected by our chosen Leader so they don't have other choice but to accept the consequences if we chose the wrong one.

So when we vote, you should consider not only our future but also our next generations'. It's important for us to do our role because its for the country. Do not just vote because they are your mutuals or you are judging them based on their personalities. Its important to choose them by what can they do and thats the only thing we must do. Choose them not condemn.

My autobiography

Not far from here on the 6th of July Year of 2004, I was born in the city of Kawit Cavite. I am female and youngest amongst the children of three. I have an older brother and older sister, her being the oldest. My mother used to be an English teacher that's why as a kid, I used read her books lying around the house. Maybe that was the reason that I'm so into poems and would prefer English than read Tagalog articles.

Growing up as the youngest, I had most of my wishes granted but of course I am still taught to be grateful as always. But there was this time when I was in grade 8, I was walking home from school at night because I was a little late to go home. There was no tricycles so I decide to walk home. It was only one curve left until I'm home but suddenly a motorcycle stop by my side and i thought that he was going to ask for direction so I stopped. That's when he grabbed my body, molested me then drive away. I went back home crying but instead of worrying about me, my father got angry for not staying at school but walking home.

That was the time that my personality drastically changed. Since that incident I felt like my body was so disgusting and dirty being help by unknown man, what's more is my family is blaming me for what happened especially my grandmother's sister. She would always say that I wanted what happened and enjoyed it. I hated every Part of me and won't believe anyone who says they understand me. My trust issues got even worse and I developed an ugly personality.

I remember when there was a time that may parents would fight, I still couldn't understand what they were saying about. But now that i understand that it's about my father having an affair, as a daddy's girl it affected me a lot. I felt betrayed knowing that he's entertaining children and treating them as his own child other than me and my siblings. That was not the last time because He met few more girls until the things I'm scared the most happened. He had a child with a prostitute he met at the bar and we're not even sure if that child is His and he refuse to take a DNA test.

My anger for him grow stronger and stronger that it gave me thoughts to take revenge on him and maybe that was the worst choice I have made. I thought that I was not affected by what happened but My revenge took place in those times I was feigning ignorance. I chose to ruin my life and date men at the same time and that's the affect of my father. My revenge was to do the same thing as he did and ruin my image because I thought it would hurt him to see me become like that. But I got caught by my mother and it made me realize how much I've hurt her.

Although the casualty is not so bad, because of what he did I finally learned how to be strong and decide correctly what's not to do. I learned on how to avoid red flags and stay away in toxic relationships romantically or friendship, I learned when to stop.

I realized that I need to stop messing around with men and hating myself To finally get serious in life. Right now, I'm seeing someone and he said that he accepts my past and love me for who I am now. I finally found someone who accepts me, Although sometimes I still doubt that he loves me. I can see his efforts and pure intentions with me and I can feel my doubts gradually decreasing.

I also want to accept my self and love me the way my real friends and significant other love me.
