Personal Narrative: I Believe In America

Decent Essays
There is an America that i believe in. I believe in an America that can change to a better nation than it already is. But, some people like it the way it is. However, there are far more people who don't like the condition it's in. We can see this in the “Black Lives Matter” protest and a few others. So i'll talk about human rights and racism

Let talk about Human Rights. Human rights are one of the most valuable things in America right now and now we’re sort of not using some of them anymore.

    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.…

    The United States of America: a land of opportunity, freedom, and justice. As an immigrant, I can say with certainty that there is no other place in the world that I would rather live in other than the United States. Becoming an American citizen has been by far one of the best things that have ever happened to me, not only because of having a legal status, but because of the quality of life that I can achieve for my family and for myself. All of this is possible thanks to the freedoms and the rights that we enjoy as citizens of this great nation, and that are showcased on four major historical documents that reflect the values and ideas that continue to shape our society: the American Declaration of the Rights and Duties of Man, the Declaration…

    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.…

    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.…

    America’s Gift to My Generation would be education and schooling. Education and schooling is a gift because with children going through school only a few will become our next inventors and scientists. The education will help make our medical teams and technology better than it has ever been before. The schooling is based on how well students work in a classroom because I know I work better at a public school then being home schooled. But for one of my friends it’s the opposite.…

    I am proud to be an American. We are given so many rights and freedoms that we would not be able to have if we lived in other countries or territories. However, with the freedoms and rights given to us there are certain responsibilities as well. As John D. Rockefeller says, “Every right implies a responsibility; every opportunity, an obligation, every possession, a duty.”. In my community, my responsibility is to volunteer and to help others.…

    The fresh smell of new books, the milky smell of babies, the moldy smell of old houses, the smell of newly-mown summer grass…When you perceive a new scent, your brain automatically links it with an environment, a occasion, a person, an object, or a moment; when the same scent come to you again, you would conjure up the bounded memory. Although there is no holding back the wheel of time, scent is always our super-power when it comes to memory. ' But when from a long-distant past nothing subsists, after the people are dead, after the things are broken and scattered, taste and smell alone, more fragile but more enduring, more unsubstantial, more persistent, more faithful, remain poised a long time, like souls, remembering, waiting, hoping, amid…
