The Next Jackie

So many little girls stand up in elementary school and say they want to be the first woman president. The idea of making the executive decisions for a country like America is thrilling to me, or maybe it is just the power that comes with it. However, I must say this is not the choice I would make. When I stood up with my face-engrossing sunglasses and hairspray-curled dark bob hairdo, my claim was to a different White House position. First lady would be the best job there.
This is not a decision based on roles each sex typically plays, but a matter of the potential fulfillment being first lady could provide me with. Unfortunately, stress always gets the better of me, so supporting the weight of the entire nation's well being on my shoulders would probably crush me. I prefer to work in the background. However, I would still be able to exert my influence.
I think being first lady enables one to choose a cause and really make a difference outside of that cubicle called the Oval Office. The position and its fame grants you the ability to better your world from the time you enter the White House until your death if you so choose. Not to mention you can do it with style. As my goal is to leave my mark on the world in a good way this is a perfect choice for me.
Look out Laura, I'm leaving your "legacy" in the dust.
