CULTURAL SIMILARITY
After reading the Biography of Manuel L. Quezon, I felt and saw that
we have some similarities,one is ofcourse,we have a blood of a
Filipino, the second one is, our mother were both teachers, third,
just like him, I experienced becoming a leader. Yes, we all know
that, being a leader is hard and a big responsibility, but you have to
be a good role model for everyone, ecourage one another and you
need to do everything that you can. Fourth is that, we’re both
dreamers. We have this goal that we need to pursue and fulfill, and
that is “ to be successful”. And lastly, I want to be more effective
citizen in our country just like him.
