Seventh Blog: "Election Day"

I am registered to vote, even when I always thought that I would never do it, because I used to go with my parents when they had to vote, and I hated it so much, because the weather it was always so hot, and we had to wait so much hours standing in a line, and I was very little so I got bored like right away.
This perspective was completely changed by the time when I was on third year of high school. It all happened thanks to my teacher of elective history. We were passing civic education on that subject, and there were explained things like how does function the law in Chile, and those kind of stuff, and between those it was the citizenship rights and duties. And when my teacher explained that, my vision changed and I knew that it was my duty as a citizen to get registered and to vote, because we have to choose who is going to represent us taking important decisions for the country, that’s what is about this, the logic thing is that you choose someone who propose things that you are agree with.
About the electoral campaigns I can say that in some ways are good, for example to show the proposals of the candidates, but on the other hand they are created to catch as much voters as possible so, sometimes you can notice that are a little superficial.
A person who’s running for president must be clear on what his or her is proposing, the candidates must show their knowledge, their astuteness, their personality, so we can notice which qualities has the candidate as a person and from that we can infer if they are capable of having this huge responsibility.
I have never consider becoming a politician, but if I think about it I wouldn’t become either, because on my perspective I see it like a little bubble that function always with the same people and it’s full of corruption.
In the case that I would be part of a ministry, I would like to work in the education. Because obviously is my career and I would like to be helpful using everything that I could learn here.
Five problems could be poverty, violence, delinquency, bad education and the disorganization and the disagreement that exists between the politicians.
