America’s Gift to My Generation
“The Greatest gift in life is to be remembered”- Ken Ventan. America has many gifts to be grateful for like clean water, food and many freedoms. We take many of our gifts for granted. Some Americans don’t appreciate what they have on a daily basis. Many immigrants come to America to have a new life.

America has so much food we don’t know what to do with it. People in America throw away scraps of food that kids in other countries would love to have. We usually get 3 meals a day and breakfast, lunch and supper plus snacks which is more than enough. Many countries can’t feed their kids and people like we can. It would be very hard for some people to not have food every day.

A very important gift is water. If

    Some people in America witness the disposal of edible food. One may have seen their friends throw away half of their uneaten food in the trash at school or see their parents dispose the fast food that’s about a week old. These scenarios are considered food waste and this is one of the main problems that America faces. If this problem continues, eventually, “in forty years when you order a pizza from Domino’s, they’ll just deliver it straight to the nearest dumpster” (“Last Week Tonight”). There is tons of food that are wasted despite the fact that there are Americans suffering from hunger.…

If we are really “free” then why don’t we all have equal rights I mean it’s just common sense. People aren’t seeing it and it’s affecting the way we live not just here in America, but all around the world. Let’s take this for example a girl named Malala from Mingora Pakistan got shot in the head because she wanted to go to school and they wouldn’t let her because she was a girl now tell me that’s free rights!…
