Presenting... President Taci Merkley

Day 17 - Someone you would switch lives with for one day and why.

If I could switch lives with someone for a day I would want to switch with President Obama. I would want to feel the pressure of the job and the success of actually obtaining the title I dreamed about having when I was in 2nd grade.

I think of one person that has such an influence on how the United States are viewed worldwide and I would want that person to be me. Reading that last line reminds me of a line from “The Wedding Date” when the bride tells her sister she is so happy and the sister promptly replies, “Why, because the world finally has a reason to revolve around you?” I don’t feel like the world should revolve around one person, but one person can make a huge difference in the world.

I often think of Mother Teresa and how she is known for being loving, kind and so very giving of herself. I want people to think of me in my President For A Day as that. They will remember the good that came from the one day and understand the love I have for my country. I think too often people forget why they took the office in the first place and need to be reminded that there are people that often look up to them.
