What is it like to be an American?

               Many people have different opinions and voices. An American has many and different rights that they can do. For me, being an American is great and I feel proud. There are so many interesting histories that are nice to know. Since my parents are from their own country, it is nice and sad because they can’t do certain things. Being an American is to be free and to have the freedom of speech. Also to be an American, you can vote for president, secretary, etc. Being an American, you can have a better life. You can get a job, earn and/or invest money.
     When you have kids, they have a chance to have a better life. There are so many opportunities, but only if you make the right decisions. We are all treated equally no matter what color skin you have and culture you are from. You have the right to do anything you feel like it. You can start a club for the environment, fundraise, and donate, etc. which means that you can do anything. Being an American means to be united as one, and to be able to depend, rely, and give hope to each other. The bill of rights protects and allows these freedoms. We are allowed to say what we want, although there are some restrictions.

     We are fortunate to have a government where they look out for every one of us, and try to do what is the best interest of our country. We have a society that is willing to help people who are not as fortunate as some others. Immigrants are what help America be America. They bring to our country strong family structures and strong morals. Foreigners also help our economy prosper. For many immigrants, family comes first over everything. Many people dream about being an American. They dream because they envision America as the land of peace and prosperity. I personally am proud to be an American, even though when I grow, I know that it will be harder.
