My View of America
By Molly Connot
“America is another name for opportunity” (Emerson, 1841)-Ralph Waldo Emerson…When I think of America, I think of an incredible nation that was formed from nothing and turned into something amazing. We are more diverse than any other country, because our foundation was made on so many different people. We have courage and know what bravery truly is. Americans are full of patriotism every day. My views are touched with absolute love and appreciation of this incredible country.
America was literally built form the ground up. One of our greatest advantages is our diversity. We don not all fit into one specific group. We are given choices on everything. In school, we are given options with our classes. In our government, we have choices from what political party we side with or what and who we will be voting for. No one in America can say that we do not have options because they are given every year on the first Tuesday following a Monday of November. We also has much variety of people in our country. We have different religions, different cultures, and of course, different people. Variety is what makes America great and keeps us thriving. The opportunities we have in America are endless and our diversities makes them even better.
Americans have bravery and courage and it is present always. Since our country’s beginning, we have had the courage to fight for what we believe in. In today’s society, we still have that same courage. We do not fight just wars, though, we fight for rights and freedoms. Women and minorities have fought for the right to be treated the same as a white male, and keep fighting today. In the war aspect of things, our soldiers fight for our freedoms and other countries also. Our soldiers help keep the peace in other countries and keep us safe from them also. Our courage and bravery make the United States of America a different place from any other.
If you ask someone from another country to identify an American, they always say that Americans have very strong patriotism. Americans are never ashamed to say that WE ARE AMERICANS AND PROUD! The people know and love our country for all that it stands for. We are able to say we have democracy that we know works because we continuously working at it. Our democracy gives the people power and still keeps us from having crazy chaos. Americans have the ability to find compromise in everything and anything. This also gives Americans the ability to voice our opinions loud and proud. We gives us differences from the other countries, but the best types of differences.
Living in America is unlike any other place. America was built on diversity and differences that we still have today. We have incredible patriotism that makes the American people separate from any other. America’s bravery and courage makes this place an incredibly safe and amazing place to grow up in. I am proud to say that America is where I am from and that will never change.
