Our Country

Author's Note- This is a "fluffy" essay on the United States of America.

The United States of America – a country of passionate, brave, and courageous people. Where both tragic and heroic events occur every day. Where everyone has the chance to speak their mind out to the “political powerhouses”. Where everyone has the chance to be free.  Where you have the chance to be, who you really want to be and not who other people want you to be. This is our country, land of the free and home of the brave.

Do you know any people that are passionate, brave, and courageous? You most likely do. They are people who we see every day. Veterans,  doctors, police officers, firefighters, etc. You might not thing about it, but they are heroes in our community. The way firefighters fight through the scorching blazes to bring people out alive. The way police officers protect civilians like they are fighting for the last cookie in the cookie jar. The way doctors have to persevere through the gory scene of their patients. The way veterans served our country to make it the way it is now is something we cannot repay to them. The way they pass on their true war-hero stories to generations of young children. All of these people play a crucial role in your everyday lives, whether you know it or not.

People in the U.S.A. are very passionate, brave, and courageous but unlike other countries, we are able to speak our minds, and have certain laws. Freedom of speech is something that benefits us all. You are allowed to disagree with people that have power, and you won’t get in trouble. We have a free country, which is more than we can say about terrifying third world countries and the effectiveness the government has on its people. Being able to carry a gun, is also a big thing in the U.S. You are allowed to carry guns. In other countries, you wouldn’t even be able to own a gun. There are many more laws that make our country the way it is, some that help and some that really aren’t needed.

Together as a country, we are suppose to come together and be one. We have to set aside our differences and be a country. We have to obey the laws and respect one another as if you knew them personally. We have to respect our elders and everyone around us. We, as a country need to stand together. Together as one – The United States of America.
