WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE AN AMERICAN?

Being an american is one of the most underrated privileges. Americans don’t fully appreciate the fact that they are Americans. The fact that we get to be free is what it means to be an American. To live in a democratic government where YOU get to decide who YOU want to run YOUR government. A country where you don’t just see the same breed of people everywhere you look, living in a melting pot is one of Americas greatest qualities. To be an American, is so underrated because when you look at other countries where they are being led a life with no choices, no privileges, and then you look at America, the difference is clear. Living in America is one of the greatest gifts anyone can have. When we look throughout history, we see people risking their old lives, families, everything just in hopes of starting a new life in America. Immigrants would risk it all just to live in the big “melting pot.” America to me is a living a life of choices. Being able to freely say what’s on my mind. Being able to meet a variety of different people from different backgrounds in one country. This is something that is rarely found anywhere else. I feel that it is a privilege to have this array of people all in one country. It’s what makes America, America. Being an American allows me to know that when i finish college, I have the choice of what job i want to do. As a matter a fact, I have the choice to go to college. America is all about choices. Being an American hits people so hard that they risk their lives to fight for it. Soldiers go to war and risk everything just to protect America. Being an American is so powerful that it is hard to put it into words. Imagine living anywhere else but America. Life wouldn’t just be different, I have no doubt that it would not be nearly as good. America give people a sense of luxury whether that is just giving people rights or allowing all different genders and races to work in all different jobs, America is great.
