My Fellow Americans I am going to be the first Chicana President of this country. I am intelligent, hard working, and well spoken. I am being recruited by law schools like Cornell and Washington University. I can go to any Ivy League law school I want. I will accomplish all of my goals and make every mentor I have had very proud to say that I am a part of them. (and they remind me of this). I am 21 and graduating with two majors in 4 years and ranked the above the 60th percentile on my law school admissions test (which is high for a minority). Yale is the dream, that’s where everyone thinks I should go. I could be a great politician if I went to Yale. Bush and Kerry both went there. They manufacture presidents at Yale. Of course I will also attend graduate school while I am in Law school, it will help me get a leg up on my PhD. I am strong, level headed, and at times very masculine. That’s the way you have to be in politics. It is a man’s world. To get into the game I have to play by the rules. I cannot have committed relationship because I can be the only thing I care about. Plus I might run the risk of getting pregnant (Because I am obviously straight, no room for lesbians in politics, but of course my critics will ALWAYS question my sexuality in an effort to discredit and offend me). Having kids will be necessary later in life, because it gains votes when you have kids, but right now it’s a big no no. I am going to be everything they want me to be. I cannot have an actual view point on anything because that’s how modern democratic politics are. My only goal as a “great” politician is to try to make everybody happy not to take a stance or believe in anything. But that’s OK having an opinion is over rated.
I’ll go to Yale and become a great politician. I’ll marry another Yale grad, preferably an east coaster to balance out my west coast when I run for president. And after I clerk at the supreme court and move back to New Mexico we will have 2.5 children and a dog. I’ll run for state representative, then governor, than president in 2028. Vote For Me Esteli Juarez. God Bless America.
I want to be the first Chicana President of this country. I am intelligent, hard working and well spoken. I could go to Yale but I don’t want to. Law school is hard as it is why would I want to do it across the country from my family and in Connecticut? I don’t want to be a great politician I want to be a good person, a good person who represents my constituency and is a good advocate. I want to be trustworthy and I want to earn every vote I get. I want to be able to be myself. I wanted to go into politics for a reason and the less I am me the less of a reason I have to be there. There are things I believe in, opinions I have about politics and I want to be able to hold them and if need be speak on them. I am going to go to the University of New Mexico Law School because I want to go home. I want to go to a school where I can finally just get an education and not always have to raise my hand to be that girl in class. That gets rough I compare it to going to battle everyday and I can’t do that any more. I sent out my law school applications 3 weeks ago. So even though I’m not going to law school where everyone thinks I should be going I’m still going. Because I have to go to law school it is necessary for my political career. My political career where everything has been planned down to the year I’ll run for president, what I’ll wear and my campaign songs.
Then the day came that I took the test. No no not the LSAT the test that would change my life. I thought I had made hard decisions before like what I wanted to be when I grow up and where I’ll apply to law school. But this was totally different and definitely not part of the plan.
So I called my boyfriend and he flew out here from the east coast. And we talked… a lot. About my beliefs and his beliefs, about my plans for school, my future, what my parents would say and what we wanted out of our lives together. And we made the decision. And it wasn’t easy but I’ll never forget the relief I felt once we made the decision. My life will never be the same. But that’s ok. Things change; it’s the nature of life. So I will go home, after graduation as planned and in September when it’s time to go back to school we’re going to have a baby.
