3 Traits to Being a Successful Politician

As a young kindergarten student at naptime, I was always restless, simply because my playing such a small role in the world seemed inadequate to me at the time. As the years wore on, though, I realized that the saying, "You must crawl before you can walk," is very true. Every great person had to endure being a child, teenager, and so forth. Therefore, I no longer wish to be older. These transitional years are the years in which we learn the most. Being so motivated at the age of five points directly to the traits I had and still have to this day.

The last trait I have that I think will benefit me as a politician is just pure love for everyone. Sadly enough, I see people today who disrespect each other for no reason at all.

I, personally, think my love for people and desire to help in any and every way I can makes me an excellent candidate for governmental offices.
