I'm in 2nd year in my high school and I'm thinking of becoming an ambassador for my country of Philippines, so far I'm learning Russian by myself and french at school. I will go next year in the summer to Latvia so I could learn Russian. Also, I wonder what were the jobs of ambassadors because I know its really hard ot be one

You have to be appointed by the president, so better start making some political connections now.
