Personal Narrative: My Vision For America

Improved Essays
Revised Draft - Bahni Baukhagen Martin Luther King, Jr. had a dream, and look where that got him; I have a vision, think of all the places I could go. America today has been built up from every individual before us, some contributing more than others. Some, however, decide not to partake in the betterment of our country, encouraging our country to become hopeless and sordid. My vision for America is giant, bigger than you can imagine; and much larger than I can convey in an essay, but I will try my best. I have a vision, and like an architect creates their blueprints, I am going to paint you a picture. So prepare yourselves, because we, as a whole, are going to come together in unity to create the country we deserve.
To demonstrate, there are roughly 158.6 million women in America (1), whereas America abounds with men of power. My mother, a single matron in her 30’s, struggled for years to support her children, constantly imploring the government, voracious for help. Why did she struggle? Because single mothers in America are not provided with

However, I am confident that my vision for America will enhance your future, as well as mine. The future of America depends on not only men, but women as well. We need to include women in the, ultimately rudimentary, process of improvement towards our country. Moreover, immigrants or not, all humans living in America will be treated fairly, and with respect. Nor will we let the youths of America have a future that depends on the success of the generations before them. In order to solve a problem, you must first perceive it; and you must, secondly, take action. We, as a nation, need to stand up and allow our voices to be heard. Brick by brick, hand by helping hand, one day America will provide a home for every individual in need. That is a vision I am proud to

    In the Declaration of independence it states, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness” (Andersen). The quote above states clearly that all men are created equal, but has nothing about women being created equal. Through this I could correlate the most essential social, political and economic movements of the century. The success, as well as the failure, reveals a story of America women history that we may not be fully aware of. Although we are taking a big step in improving women's right for equality, the American dream is still far out and had not been accomplished by the women in our daily life.…

    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.…

    Basic civil and human rights, availability of education without the fear of debt are visions of America I want to see. Civil rights include the ensuring of peoples' physical and mental integrity, life and safety; protection from discrimination on grounds such as race, gender, national origin, colour, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, or disability; and individual rights such as privacy, the freedoms of thought and conscience, speech and expression, religion, the press, assembly and movement. Human rights are moral principles or norms that describe certain standards of human behavior, and are regularly protected as legal rights as laws. They are commonly understood as inalienable and which are "inherent in all human beings" regardless of their nation, location, language, religion, ethnic origin or any other status. They require empathy and the rule of law and impose an obligation on persons to respect the human rights of others.…

    Since the founding of America on July 4th 1776, and even before then, America has been a country that carried the hopes of millions for a better life for everyone, a fresh start for hard workers, and the vision of a new land where all are free. Most would agree, America is an amazing country with so much to offer its citizens and even immigrants from all over the world. Most would also agree that there are plenty of things America as a country and as a society could improve upon. In my vision of America, I see a country where everyone is equal, despite race, gender, religion, or orientation. I see a country where everyone has a home and nobody goes without food or fresh water.…
