Personal Narrative: America's Gift To My Generation

Improved Essays
America's gift to my generation is a lot of things. I feel the most important is freedom. Also all the chances we have here to do great things.In other countries you have no freedom which means no chance to do something great. I feel freedom is a big deal because that was the whole reason our ancestors fought the british. Freedom is also very important because it’s one of the things that keeps us alive. Without freedom you basically can't live you can't move, you basically can't do anything. One of the other things that is a gift to my generation is all the luxury we have. America may be or is one of the richest countries in the world. Since the start of 2016 the net worth has went up by 1.4 percent and our

    Have you ever wondered as a little kid as what an ideal world would look like in America? I always thought that the world would be a perfect utopia, flying cars, no crime and food that you can put in the microwave and it instantly cooks.

    They say the goal in life is to live the “American Dream” and I would say I am living it head first. It all started when the time in my life came to pick an Univeristy to attend, and boy am I ecstatic with my decision to attend West Virginia University. WVU opened so many doors for me; however, if it was not for my family, I would not be where I am today. I was very content with going to my local University and living at home because that was comfortable to me, but my family encourged me to find a new start.…

    Visions are only unique as the individual themselves who make up this country. America is not the same as it was ten years ago. Who would have thought that we would have cell phones that were similar to a small computer in our pocket, a car that could talk back to us, or that we would have an African American president? Our visions for America could change everyday. My vision for America is very unique for my age group.…

    Every year, the whole family gathers. And when I mean ‘ the whole family ’, I mean the WHOLE family gathers for every holiday and because there'd be so many of us we’d sometimes go to the park alternatively. I know, there's a lot of us. But when my family gets together, I get a really happy, warm feeling. The kind of feeling you get when you wake up to your birthday or when New Year's here.…

Now, as mentioned before, America has come a long way to provide freedom and basic rights to each citizen today.

    I come from a poor family. I never had brand-name shoes or video games, or even a Lisa Frank binder and stickers like my friends at school, but I always had plenty of food in the fridge at home. My family never went hungry in spite of the fact that we were raised by a single mother who made her living as a coffee shop waitress. I did not know, till I was a teenager, that my mom bought the majority of our groceries with food stamps. It never seemed odd to me that she went to the grocery store one time a month and stocked up on milk, sugar, lunchmeat, chicken legs, hamburger meat, and most importantly, coffee.…

    “Young man!” or “ Come over here young man,and look at what I made,” these were the words I heard when I was in Jamaica on a cruise. It broke my heart because these people were so desperate for money that would almost grab on to you and bring you to their store. These people had almost nothing in Jamaica and I felt so bad that I didn’t help them that much. This experience opened my eyes to how amazing America is, and how thankful I should be.…
