United Way of America

Having lived in a Southeastern European country like Albania for 38 years, I came to the United States with a big dream. Is not only my dream is a magic, power of apparently country who everyone like to be here. I was split between two decisions 5 years ago when I came to America, because I did not know whether or not to stay or to go back to Albania. So the time passed and I am here to raise my children and my family. I just feel fortunate to live here because I like the education system,…

person or country, they tend to overlook the underlying and meaningful stories that lie within that group or place. In her Ted talk, “The Danger of a Single Story”, Chimamanda Adichie describes this concept as a single story.

people have believed that America is definitely the country to live in when it comes to freedom. In fact, the Star Spangled Banner calls it the “land of the free and the home of the brave.” However, America has been negligent at making everyone feel this “freedom” that society puts so much emphasis on.

instead of only when the freedom of the American citizen is in jeopardy. It seems almost that American military is becoming world peace keepers instead of the protectors of America. The men and women who are joining and being deployed on these missions are not signing up to fight other people’s battles that do not involve us. The United States soldiers are being paid too little, being kept from their families, and dying when they have everything to lose but nothing to win. Most would find this…

Immigrants have been coming to America for hundreds of years as refugees. Most recently, the Syrian refugees have been struggling to find safety here in America. Another case of many people immigrating to America due to times of crisis is during the Bosnian war. These two circumstances have many similarities, including why the two people groups came to America, and the controversy behind both circumstances. The background of these people groups helps pave the way for the similarities of the two…

Every four years the United States of America has the privilege of electing someone (only men so far) to become one of the most powerful people in the world. Electing the President of the United States (POTUS) has always been an important task. However, this election cycle feels differently. Perhaps it is because everyone on social media is talking about it. It could be America’s dissatisfaction with the political…

The way we treat people is Ridiculous from kids getting bullied at school To the citizens of the United States of America treating immigrants poorly it's just ridiculous the US is supposed to be a land of freedom of speech. Yes the United States has freedom of speech and everyone in the United States is free to speak their opinion but there should be limits to freedom of speech like in this sentence from Mi-Ai Parrish, The Arizona Republic and Republic Media “YOU'RE DEAD.
