Have you ever though about the meaning of freedom? Freedom is a beautiful word. Freedom means many things to many different people, but to me it means the power or right to speak or act or think as one wants.
Freedom doesn’t come without a high price. It comes with many responsibilities. Our freedom was definitely hard to accomplish. Freedom comes with all the blood, sweat, and tears of all our fellow Americans. Americans have fought in many wars for the freedom that we have. “Responsibility is the price of freedom,” by Elbert Hubbard.
“I pledge allegiance to the flag,” that is something that I say everyday proudly. When I say the Pledge of Allegiance I think of all the things that people have done so we can say it freely. Every time you lay down your head at night, you should think about how an American died for you. “Better to die fighting for freedom then be a prisoner all the days of your life,” by Bob Marley.
What are some of our freedoms? Freedom of speech is the right to say or express anything you want. Freedom of education is getting to teach whatever you want. Freedom of religion is guaranteed in the 1st amendment. Freedom of religion is the right to practice his or her religion, or no religion at all. Freedom of assembly is the right to hold public meetings and form associations without inference from the government. The freedom we have today also reminds me of the places where freedoms don’t exist yet. “Freedom is never given; it is won,” by A Phillip Randolph.
Freedom is one of the most important words in my life. It is one of the biggest blessings in life and should not be taken for granted. Overall, freedom has made a huge impact on my life.
