The United States is like a rose bed. There is the soil, the foundation of America. In our soil there are nutrients: the resilience our Founding Fathers, the blood of those who fought our wars, the tears of those who sacrificed their all for the America we have today. There are the petals, what makes America beautiful, like power, love, and family. We also have our thorns. The evils and pains lurking that are under all of that beauty.

breaks till you have finished the test. Before taking my seat I grabbed ear plugs took a drink from my water bottle and headed toward a seat up front. I was feeling a little discouraged and nervous.
