What is your vision for America? This could very well take some time to think about. My vision for America would be no homeless veterans, an improvement on the education system, and the fast advancing of technology. The people of America need to improve these things before it becomes a bigger deal than it already is.…
Have you ever wondered as a little kid as what an ideal world would look like in America? 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. Growing up and getting older, I soon realized that most adults including me don’t look for this in an ideal world. I have come to realize that in my lifetime none of these things I dreamt of as a kid will happen. There are countless flaws in America that is hindering the perfect world.…
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.…
When I knew that I was gonna come to the United States for the very first time, I had a mishmash of emotions. Excitement was of course present, since I've fancied myself living the American dream. You know, the kind of life you see on TV. So, whenever I come back fresh from the States, wind blows like there's no tomorrow. All I say is how great life is in America.…
My vision for America is to have an improved health care system. The health care system that is currently being used is Obamacare. Some other visions that I have is if bullying stopped, and the economy grew. There are many pros that Obamacare has in its health care system.…
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.…
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. Freedom is a good thing to have for many different reasons for being safe for feeling like someone is there to protect you tho the hard times and the easier seconds.…
America has blessed my generation with so many amazing things. Since I live in America I have freedom, safety, health, and so many other things that I appreciate. The soldiers allow us to have freedom and safety, no one could ever thank them enough for their service. America has amazing doctors that help everyone get better when they are sick or injured. My generation has so much freedom, for example, freedom of speech, we can live, work, and go to school wherever we want, we also have the freedom of religion.…
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.…
In the beginning I thought America was " a land of living, hope, woven of dreams, aflamed with longing and desire. " I was filled with exictment, a new place to find my work that was denied to me in Russia. To be free from the toil that has held me down. Only to find out it was all a lie, the reality of America came crashing down on my dreams. So Svetlana I tell you " America is no utopia."…
My life changed in a blink of an eye, the moment I turned in sixteen years old. My parents told me, that it was better for my future to finish high school in America. I was thrilled, but at the same time I knew coming to America meant starting over. Leaving my country, my family, my friends, and my culture was the hardest thing I had to do in my life. After living two years away from parents, I can say that the sacrifice was worth it.…
“Welcome to America” the judge said. (1 Hour Earlier) In the heat of DC we all got inside of the car, I sat in the back with my brother. We then drove and arrived to park 10 before 12:00. I ran a head to the glass door and opened it and saw a white colored room where all of my father's friends were.…
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.…
“The America I Believe in” The day March 8, 2004, I was put into this world. At the time, I did not realize all the freedoms I have. My mother and my father are both faithful members of the Church of Christ and we go to church every time the doors are open, but I never realized that people around the world do not have those freedoms. Our military works hard all of the time. We do not need to be unaware of our freedoms.…
My vision for America includes that all education be mandatory, so our country has to grow instead of having the opportunity to sink. Employment priority such as retired veterans, and those injured required for all businesses. What we have to face is that we are all in this together. We should all love each other, and welcome our military persons home. Americans should work vigorously to conserve natural resources.…
