Nothing's getting better.


Nothing has gotten better in this island. Many promises of making this island better, but their promises are just all words no action no help, and all problems. Power outages are increasing. They just can't make up their mind about what time to turn off the power which annoys me so much! I have things to do, andI think everyone else does. Where's all the money we are paying for, for our electricity. Our hard work of money seems to be going no where, but down the drain. They should make a proposal about a new power plant instead of using generators? They should use geothermal, wind, solar, or just anything besides nuclear.
In the eight grade we presented to the CUC, giving them some ideas of a new power plant, but what we did seemed like a waste of time for us and for them. The ideas we had were very helpful and seemed like a success to the island.
Power outages has really affected everyone in this island. We suffer the heat outside, so we would like to be relaxed inside the room with aircon or a fan, but there's two problems. One, the power is off. Two, its too expensive to turn on the aircon. I feel like this island is in such disaster, actually i don't think. I know it, and i think everyone in this island knows it. Most families are working so hard for the power, that they are not able to support their family. I just wonder how did this all start. Who is the person that put this island in so much tragedy. What or who has the answer to making our lifes a better place. I just wish they chose better leaders, not failures.

The economy has affected my family. Before both my parents were working, and we didn't just get what we wanted, we got what we needed. I had 4 dollars a day as an allowance, and now that my dad is the only one with a stable job i barely get 2 dollars a day. This has really affected my lifestyle. I couldn't go shopping every month, i can't go anywhere i want because of the gas. I can't turn on the air con whenever i want to. I hate going outside because of the mosquitoes, and sometimes i just can't take the heat. We are 5 in the family, and it is a hard job to bringing food in the table, and being able to have a family dinner, not a scary dinner with no light. My mom doesn't want us to suffer. She didn't accept the fact that my sister needed a job. She didn't want us to live a life like she did. Working so hard for her family, because her mother died when she was very young, then later her dad died. So it was a stress for her very much. There were 8 children in her family, 4 boys and 4 girls, she was the oldest for the girls so she had to be a mother for them. It was hard.
She just wants us to just focus in our education and not be stressed with a job, but with the economy going really bad everyone in this family needs to work.

When you are able to vote be sure you vote for who you think is the most qualified and trained person for the job. Do your best to research their qualifications and experience. Do not vote only by family groups and favoritism. This method of selecting your leaders is the reason for the fix you are in now. You and your generation are the new hope for the CNMI. Take it responsibly.
