“America's Gift to my Generation”
When I touched foot on this Earth for the first time, I believed that I can do anything I want, say anything I want, and become anything I want to become. I now have the courage to express who I am, because of Veterans, our founding fathers, and ancestors. This is possible today. As Pauline Hanson once said “To survive in peace and harmony, united, and strong, we must have one people, one nation, one flag so hold up the red, white, and blue. We are the American dream.” One of my many Gifts to unwrap is Veterans.Veterans are the soldiers that work on the weekends and work through the holidays. Because freedom isn’t free and they sacrificed everything,to fighting in the depths of the jungle or even the scorching

    A veteran to me is a patriotic, unselfish, brave, and courageous person, who would sacrifice time from their families to serve and protect our nation. As Jeff Miller once said, “The willingness of America’s Veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude.” Veterans from every country have served throughout many wars. They have put their blood, sweat, and effort into doing the right and beneficial thing for their nation. Being a veteran means not only to serve in the military, but it means to have the selflessness and courage to go off to war to ensure the freedom of the nation.…

    My obnoxious yellow posterboard read “We may not have chosen the time, but the time has chosen us.” The time was Donald Trump’s inauguration and everyone there was chosen to fight for everyone’s rights as American citizens. I held it high above a plethora of pink yarn woven into cat ears. The hat, a sticker on my head, and a logo on my shirt announced my ideals. More than 500,000 chanted in Washington and 5 million worldwide, and all together we sounded like one voice.…

    Veterans play an important role in society today and the history of not only America as a whole, but the people who live in it. They have earned us our freedom and our rights, and even continue to help even after leaving the battlefield, whether by actively playing a role in their community or going on living the lives they earned for America. Having no veterans would signify no victorious battles or even fights to begin with. The veterans that America celebrates show that America stood and still stands for values and independence. They play a key role in history- who ever read a textbook that didn’t mention ferocious warriors or soldiers conquering forgotten cities?- and create our future at the same time.…

In “A Quilt of a Country,” the author, Anna Quindlen, writes all about how America is made up of many different cultures and races. She compares America to a quilt.…

    For this particular assignment I decided to interview my mother, asserting her generation would be significantly different from mine, especially in the concept of communication and society roles. I decided to conduct the interview Friday afternoon, and just after 45minutes I got more information then what I could imagine. I asked my mother certain questions such as what experiences shaped her childhood, to what expectations did society or cultural media have on young women. However after these leading questions or conversation got more depth, as in to analyzing how different my childhood was compared to hers especially with social media, and the effects it has in not only my generation, but also future generations to come. One aspect of…
