Politics / Suits, Speeches, and Sincerity: A long road to become a Politician
« on: February 16, 2012, 08:41:21 pm »
I am not sure how many of you know me on this board, or how many of you I have talked to about my views, goals, and aspirations in life, but I have, since the tender age of 7, been keenly interested in my country's politics, how society works, and how my society functions in general. I have volunteered for my party of choice several times before, and have even met with the former leader of the party I support (may he rest in peace), as my father wrote his speeches for many of his rallies.
After many years of wrestling with personal, social, and psychological issues, I have finally come to a point in my life where I have some control over the direction of my life. I have decided that, due to my nature, and my beliefs, I want to be not just involved in the political process, but eventually run myself. I have run into a bit of a snag in this regard though, due to my past and my ... problems I have been overcoming, I do not have the marks or the experience to be able to get into a program of merit, nor do I have the financial leeway to force my way into a program of my choosing.
I do, however, have drive, spirit, and a pinch too much stubbornness to back out of what I see as a way for me to try and change the world around me and fulfill what I feel is a role I have the necessary talents and disposition for.
My questions to you all are thus;
1) How would you recommend I go about enrolling in a University of high merit?
2) What should I pursue, in your opinion, socially to further my “resume” and my understanding of how my country functions?
3) what would you suggest I do to create the necessary contacts for myself in those circles?
and finally,
4) Does my financial and social background destroy my chances at success, or just give my opposition ammunition if I ever become a threat?
