Well for me it was the day that i'll never forget, but not in the way you think. It was the best feeling waking up that day, knowing it was going to be a day of joy and love with my whole family. I don’t get to see my whole family frequently, but when I do it’s the best time of our lives. We had this whole plan for the day we were going to go the neighborhood park and have a huge soccer game between my family. At the same time we are going to have a huge barbecue.
“God dang that smells amazing”, that was the first thought I could think of when we arrived at the park. When my family and I arrived there and they had already started the barbecue, that’s why it smelled so delicious. The joy of seeing my Uncle using the grill cannot be surpassed. He is one of the best, if not the best chef I know. All my family had finally arrived and it was time for the game to

Right off the bat we started to attack, making them play defense. My father had the ball, he was open to take a shot, all I could hear was “ding” , my dad had hit the post and the expression on the other team was priceless, no one expected my dad to shoot like that at the beginning of the game.

    On July 4th, 1776, the Declaration of Independance was signed, and the Americans gained their independance.

    Monday, August 22nd, 2016, approximately 10 o’clock PM. I arrived home after a typical summer night out with my friends at the local Applebee’s, however I was greeted at the door by my already enraged father. Before I had time to take my shoes off of my feet, my father was already ridiculing me, spouting phrases such as “you’re so irresponsible” and “you cannot be trusted with anything.” Now of course there was some foul language included sporadically in those remarks, but overall I was shocked at why I was being attacked seemingly unprovoked. My father then decided to inform me that tomorrow at 8 AM I had to report to the soccer fields at Holy Ghost Preparatory School for soccer tryouts.…

    Land of the Free As Patrick Henry said in 1775, “Give me liberty or give me death!” The founding fathers of our country gave it all so you and I could have freedom. What some people do not realize is that if the founding fathers had gotten caught or if we had lost the Revolutionary War, the founding fathers would have been hung for treason. They put their lives on the line to provide freedom for many generations to come. We can celebrate the Fourth of July and have fun, but we also need to remember what our forefathers had to do to get us to this point.…

    The patriotic melody also comes from an English drinking song which was the reason it was initially rejected as the national anthem for a hundred and forty years. The song is controversial, one that casts doubt and condemns the true American identity, but it also generates a question: Is everyone willing to embrace this identity? The diversity of American culture creates ambiguity on the American identity as not everyone has same opinions as the people around them, and being more diverse creates more divisions. America achieved independence on July 4, 1766 and has been celebrating the day ever since. However, in “What to a slave is the Fourth of July?”…
