A politician situation..


All I wanted was to win the best possible candidate for my country. Has it happened to you that have you ever wanted to do a good action and explain something to whoever (noun clause -ever words)  made a mistake, but that person is hermetic? She/he only cares for herself/himself, no one else matters. And according to that, this is my story. Approximately 8 or 9 months ago, the presidential elections in my country were approaching, and because of the responsibility to be informed and be a responsible and make an intelligent vote. The candidate that I chose, which for me represents everything I would like in a president or in a government, with values, wanting to take the country forward, but unfortunately, for many people, was somewhat controversial, since he is of evangelical religion and established from the beginning its principles, how he wanted to work and with whom. Here in Costa Rica, the voting was a chaos, a total bad faith, false respect, ethics, values ​​among many others. If only I had known that they were going to be that way, I wouldn’t have voted. But I did, as a good costarican. I followed everything what he said. (noun clause what) Everything! Social networks, newspapers, television, radio, etc. I cannot believe that people express so badly (adjective clause pronoun as the object of the verb) about others. I am hundred percent that the journalist that wrote the news was very happy. (adjective clause pronoun used as the subject) I really thought he was going to be our next president. As I was saying before, many people did not like him, and 99% of the cases were because of his religion and/or the way he thinks. He started to saying the truth. People like to believe and to follow just what they consider necessary, that’s why they did not like Fabricio. One day, the day before of the elections, I don’t remember exactly the day, I had to attend classes in the morning and I was really late. Our teacher in that moment asked to the people who came late, what was our opinion about elections? Lucky me! My candidate was in second place (a shame!) and in the third place was the stupid person ever. In the place number one was the abstention of the people, people who didn’t go to vote. It was really shocking, because that was the first time something like that happen in my country. My teacher wanted to know our opinions. In that moment, I wondered whether he was mocking us or not. (noun clause whether/if) How come! What he thought really surprised me. (noun clause question word) A true to be told, I did not want to say anything related with politics. It is known that religion and politics cannot be together. This is controversial for many people; someone may get offended if you don’t express yourself well. I remember that in that specific moment, I thought something like: I don’t know what to do. (noun clause followed by infinitive) I don’t know what to say. At the end I said: Teacher, is it this really necessary? I consider that people may not share the same opinion as me. (noun clauses that) So, he asked me again, what is your opinion? What was your candidate? I said: I voted for Fabricio and I will do it again. I gave the first vote of my life to him and I feel very proud of what he has got. He has worked really hard and he is the person who represents me at all. (adjective clause pronoun used as the object of preposition.) most of my partners were surprised, because almost all of them didn’t like Fabricio. One of them, a girl told me: why did you do that? What were you thinking about? He doesn’t know anything about politics and laws, you made a terrible mistake, you should have voted for Carlos, he is so intelligent, speaks English, has a major, blablabla. I did not want to be rude with her but the teacher was the person who asked! I felt the worst person ever, even though I explained to her my motives, my conclusions, my thoughts and opinions, she just closed herself to whatever opinion. She was so rude with me. Despite of, I decided to apologize to the girl and the rest of them whose treat was bad. (Adjective clause whose case) Since that day, I decided not to say my opinion about politicians to someone else.
