Recommended: Benefits of living in america

I am truly blessed to be an American. Anyone who is a citizen of this nation have many things to be thankful for. I am bestowed with freedoms that many people around the globe do not possess. However, it is easy to overlook that these freedoms were paid for with an unimaginable price and that I have my own duties to this great nation. My responsibilities for America is to make it a better place. This is accomplished by being an informed voter, to make sure that the generation after me have it better than I did, to defend the freedoms of the American people if called to service, to find ways to make it better instead of waiting for the government to just give me things, and to be an example in my community. I hear all the time from my grandparents

    What does it mean to be an American? In my eyes to be an American means to have privileges, rights, and freedom. America isn't perfect, but it is one of the only countries that have rights given to people of different diversities and gender. America does not have tremendous poverty. Instead we have choices given to us by the people who fought and died for the American people. Without George Washington and the other patriots who planted the first seed in the ground and help plant the American nation we live in now who knows what America would be like now.

My goal was to finish high school in the U.S. and one day enroll in an American college, however, my parents were not willing to let a 17 year old girl move thousand of miles away on her own, with only the support of her older sister, that lived in Washington State. My mother was the one in opposition to this idea the most, every time I mentioned even the smallest comment about me moving away, she would instantly change topics, turn the volume up, or just say she didn’t want to talk about it, I would always insist, until she was willing to hear

  • What Makes A Person An American Essay

    847 Words  | 2 Pages

    When people have gratitude it makes ths country a better place. The people of this country could be caring, or helpful, and our country suffers from the selfish people in it. Gratitude makes a person an American, because they show respect to each and every person they meet and will meet in the future. They have the caring ways to help their friends, and family out at anytime. Gratitude is a trait that should be in any American citizen, because it shows the people of this country that it could be a better place if people would start treating others with kindness. The truth is, as I was growing up, I didn’t see much kindness in the world. People were treating others lousy, worthless, and, horrid. If more people had gratitude ther would be less murders, more love, and so much more faith in the world. Today we see people die, and are used to it. We hear about attacks and absolutely do nothing for the people that need it. Obviously, we need to find more of this stuff called

    My parents traveled thousands of miles, trying to get visa after visa, to finally end up in our home in America, and with them, they brought very narrow and specific values, and would spend the next several decades worrying that us kids might actually turn out….American. Ironic, isn’t it? Don’t get me wrong, I am extremely thankful for having grown up with a different perspective on life, being bilingual and admiring my parents perseverance while creating a life in the face of struggle and discrimination. I did, however, miss out on things most American kids considered normal. For example, sleepovers, one of the most common american traditions, but according to my parents the only reason I would ever sleep at somebody else's house, was if
