Student Essays:
USA 2016 Election
I believe that the U.S. deserves a good President that represents our country’s high standards. It is important to remember these standards during (the particularly ridiculous) primary season we are currently in. We need to nominate and elect the most qualified person for the job. Being President of the United States of America is a big responsibility.
Many people count on him/her to make serious decisions. He/she must be able to deal with international leaders, and give people confidence that as President he/she is informed when it comes to facts, names and history behind our policies both domestic and international.
Americans want someone who is capable of making the right decisions in all matters. Americans are wise and good hearted, and this has allowed us to develop with respect and consideration. At some point, all Americans were immigrants with many dreams that we wished to achieve. And what Americans need is a President who will represent the values which will allow us to continue to live in the U.S. safely, respectfully, and with honor. Americans – we are sensitive people; and I think we will make a sensible choice in the end. God Bless America.
