    It was my first time in America. In 2015, I moved with my family permanently from India. Had few issues moving but managed to solve those issues without any difficulties. I had no clue how it would be; I had heard about it, read it in the newspaper and saw it in movies but never seen it with my eyes. I was pumped to know about how each and everything used to function, how different the American system is from the Indian system?…

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.

    We can go to the church that we choose, we can speak out when we disagree and we can vote for the leaders of our country. We have soldiers that are willing to go to war to protect that freedom, just like the soldiers that fought in the War of 1812.When I hear the national anthem…

    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.…

    Do Americans Value Today

    The United States of America, known as the land of the free, has many civil rights that our founding fathers and other influential figures have fought for. However, the freedoms that citizens value today is another story. In the past, Americans fought for the freedom of speech, freedom of the press, and the right to vote, just to name a few. People in the present-day take their existing rights for granted and, therefore, have different trivial desires instead. The word “freedom” no longer represents equality of all citizens, but merely another cheesy historic slogan.…

    America's gift to my generation is freedom. Freedom is a great thing to have because others can go to school and live together or school together. I like to have freedom to be able to have protection. Against the unthinkable actions that work in this universe, I am personally scared to see what people can do.

    Little bit of Yankee, little bit of Ya’ll. Maybe a catchy t-shirt slogan, but not necessarily untrue. Having lived half my life in both New England and the South, I often feel like a combination of my two home experiences. This can be a little unsettling: up North, I’ve “turned Southern”, but down South, I’m definitely a Northerner. Though sometimes difficult, I’ve grown to like the alternate viewpoints I’ve gained living in different locations.…

    One million dollars, that is such a large sum of money. However I wish I would have obtained this money some other way, the money coming into my hands only means that your health is becoming more poor and I shall pray for you. As for the money, I will diligently delegate portions of it to three modern reforms that I feel are in need of it. The time that we’re living in is a great one, I’ve recently heard people calling it a progressive era, and that is a very fitting name. There are many people, muckrakers, politicians, activists who seek to better different aspects of our society.…

    America is the land of the free and the home of the brave, but we would not have had the chance to be free unless someone believed it was possible. If no one had put faith in our country, we might not have the opportunities we have been given today. When they wake up in the morning, few people in America would say that they feel afraid. I believe in our government because they keep us safe, and they try to make decisions for the benefit of our country.…

    So carefully, after waiting until I knew Ma wasn’t going to wake up, I crept outside into the winter air that was as cold yet placid, and began to walk to the harbor. Walking along the main street that lead straight to where the Sons of Liberty, and my Pa, were gathering before going to the harbor. The location was unknown to anyone outside of the Sons of Liberty, but Pa had spoken to a fellow Son of Liberty and I just happened to hear every word, including the location of the meeting. It wasn’t until I spotted a redcoat when I realized that the redcoats would for sure get me in trouble me if they spotted me past the 10:00 pm curfew.…
