Will You Run Or Stay?

The citizens of my country has taken suffering as a routine as they tend to fend for themselves as the government has failed to improve the lives of everyone. Moreover, they failed to protest against bad governance because of ignorance. The rich are often self-centered as they don't want to interact with the poor. My name is Nathan. I'm a young boy with a bag of dreams to accomplish. I was brought up by a peasant farmer who happens to be my father. Although we were poor, but I never seem to lack etiquette anywhere I go. Should I say my morals were in-born as I was known to live a virtuous life? I was more concerned about my country's issue, that's because I love politics. I love so politics so much that I would often sneak out of the house to watch the nation programs downtown. Furthermore, I had a dream to become the nation's youngest president, and we would have a lot of cars and money, but my dad would often tell me that once a peasant, always a peasant. I wouldn't feel discouraged because I know that my dad is going through a hard time that's because my mom dad a few years ago. I felt like I should just change the lives of everyone in the country especially the poor as they are being deprived of their rights. Likewise, I felt ruling a nation is just like walking down the hill, very easy. Not only that, but I'm a bookworm because I really like my ambition. It's in my head and I love it. I knew that to become one wasn't easy, so I had to study very hard and for sure apply for scholarship because my dad couldn't afford the fees. Upon that I still didn't feel bad because I know where I'm going to. After a few years of hard work I became a politician at age 21 making me the youngest politician in the country, with the little money I earn every month, I often visit places, carrying out a free will project for them just to make life better. I did this for about 5 years and became the most influential person of the year and the following year I became the most influential person on the continent according to Forbes. I became popular and a lot of people had so much love for me. So I had a lot of supporters for the upcoming elections. So I contested, carried out campaigns, rallies and read out my manifesto I prepared 12 years ago. It was 3 weeks to the election and my dad was getting old and was severely sick, and he needed surgery. The election was done, and we were waiting for the results. Coincidentally, his surgery was on the day the results were to be announced. I was scared as I didn't want to lose my dad, and I was also worried about the election results as I pray not to lose on both sides or lose on one side. Then his surgery was performed before the election was announced. It didn't go well as I hoped for. My dad couldn't make it. I cried so much as I couldn't bear a day without my dad, he brought me up to this stage. Later that evening, the results were announced, and I emerged as the winner. It was a day I was meant to be happy, but I became a president and has cars, but I didn't have my dad. It was a bad time to get sworn in into office as it was had for me to cope with emotional, psychological problems and also with the nation's problem. Likewise, it took me a long time to recover. Finally, I became stable but not completely stable. My first, second and third year at the office went well until my fourth year, that was when trouble came. Checkout my sponsors articles My country was in crisis as a coup was planned. They offered me a chance to join them to enslave the nation I worked hard to build, or I will get killed. The country was in torture as children were dying, mothers were crying for their children and children were also seen crying because their mother were dead. I felt that pain too as I lost my mother at a tender age. I was left with a lot of options, join a tyrant group of people or get killed or resign or stay with my country till the end. Likewise, I was lost in thought as I couldn't let my nation bleed. If you were Nathan, what would you do? Save your country or resign to save your life.
