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.
