Blast from the Past

                          If I will be given a chance to talk to someone who inspired me most, I will choose Mr. Ferdinand Marcos. He inspired me because of his greatness as a leader here in the Philippines. Although others are against his leadership, I respect their opinion.

Joana: Good Morning Mr. Marcos! It's my honor to take a walk in the park with you.
Mr. Marcos: Me too Joana, it's my pleasure to talk to a student like you. As we all know, students now-a-days seems to forget about history.
Joana: That's true Mr. Marcos. Well, I would like to tell you something.
Mr. Marcos: What's that?
Joana: I really adore you Mr. Marcos!
Mr. Marcos: Thank you very much Joana. I feel so happy whenever I hear something like that. Let's admit it that not everyone liked the way I ruled the Philippines during my Presidency.
Joana: It's true Mr. Marcos, but if I was born during your time, I would definitely like your strategy as a president.
Mr. Marcos: Why do you say so my dear? Don't you like the way how Mr. Aquino runs the Philippines today?
Joana: I like it better when you were the president.
Mr. Marcos: That's so flattering Hija.
Joana: It's true Mr. Marcos, because of your dedication to your work, the Philippines became one of the richest countries in Asia. Well, I am not against Mr. Aquino's strategy but for me, you're definitely the best president.
Mr. Marcos: Thanks child, I wish you all the best as you grow up. And I'm hoping that you will become one of the most promising leaders here in our country. Whether it's in your school, in your community or even the whole Philippines. By the way, what do you want to be when you grow older?
Joana: Hahahaha, it may sound funny, but I want to be a successful civil engineer someday. But there's a problem, I'm not good at mathematics.
Mr. Marcos: There's nothing funny about that Hija. As long as you strive hard and pursue your dreams. You can be whatever you want to be. You should always remember that everybody's not born beautiful, smart and perfect. Nobody's perfect! But I believe that you'll be a successful and rich Civil Engineer someday. And you'll be known for your excellency!
Joana: Thanks Mr. Marcos!
Mr. marcos: You're very welcome Joana. Just don't forget to trust yourself, your skills and everything you have.
Joana: Can I give you a hug Mr?
Mr. Marcos: Sure Hija, *taps my back* Godbless Hija, I know you can do it! Goodluck.
Joana: Thankyou Mr. Marcos. Goodbye.
Mr. Marcos: So long Joana! Until we meet again. Bye!
