March, 2034.
Dear Mr. President,
It is a very
great honor to be able to write to you and have my aspirations as a citizen
delivered directly to the No. 1 man of this country. How are you enjoying your
first weeks of leading the country, Mr. President? I hope you are receiving a
lot of love and good wishes from your people. Why did I asked, you may ask me.
I should be able to tell it from the news just how the new president is ruling
the country, shouldn’t I? Well to be honest, I had given up on watching the
news about the political issues ages ago; they cause me headache. Probably you
could do something about it? And make me interested in watching the news again?
As to make this
letter short—because I’m sure you have a lot of things you should do (or more letters
to read)—I just wanna say, I don’t ask much from The President of the Year
2034. There are only two things I want my president to be: first, be a
president who rules with conscience. Why?
Because conscience may be wrong; but it’s not hypocritical. And second,
be legendary! Whatever legendary means. :)
Best wishes,
Me.

P.S : a friend of
mine ever said this, “Seorang pemimpin itu adalah pelayan. Pelayan bagi
orang-orang yang dipimpinnya,” so I guess I’m sharing this with you now.
