Authors Note: In this piece I want to tell the reader all of the great things about America and why I am proud to be an American.
What does it mean to be proud? To be proud means to feel satisfaction over something honorable to oneself. I love that we stand up for what we believe in and take stand. I love America and almost everything about it. America is a great place to live because it’s a free country and it’s a beautiful country and I’m proud to say that I’m American. Overall I’m not just proud to say I live in America, I’m proud that I’m an American.
Have you ever looked out the window and seen something that is so gorgeous you actually gasp? America is such a beautiful place to live with breath taking ocean fronts and overwhelming fall foliage under the mountains. But underneath all of the beauty, most of the people are beautiful on the inside too. I’m proud to say that men and women are sacrificing their lives and their time to keep the people of the United States of America Safe. In America people don’t get chosen to be in wars, we volunteer. It’s a great quality that is telling people we have brave people in America. Every day in Iraq people are dying for me and my family and I thank those people from the bottom of my heart.
Secondly, Americans have freedom of speech, which means we have the right to speak our minds and opinions. If people could say their opinion without a consequence then people would get miffed at a lot of people. If the government officials were the only people that could say their opinions, then we could get some very unreasonable laws. I am very glad that we have the freedom to speak out minds.
Besides having freedom of speech and people fighting for our country, woman and men are treated fairly. In the early days women and men were treated very unfairly, women couldn't vote and they always had to stay home with the kids and women didn’t get much respect, but now they do.
To conclude I am very proud of America. It’s such a beautiful place, it’s free, and people get treated fairly. Before I close I want you to think. I’m truly proud to not just live in the United States of America but I’m proud to tell people that I’m an American! What would life be like if you didn't live in America?
