Patriots Pen

Authors Note: America is such a great country to live in. While you are reading this , think to yourself, am I lucky to be an American.


America. The land of the brave and the free. But are we really the brave ones? No, the people who fight for or country helps us to be a free. We Americans are so lucky to have such brave people to serve our country. I am so proud to be an American because of my freedom.
Even though America is in some bad situations, what about the other countries? Countries like Iraq are suffering of wars happening in their own cities. Some people are even scared to fall asleep at night not knowing if something is going to happen to them. Although Americans fight in war, other countries have it way worse than we do.
While not being able to fall asleep at night, what about if you don’t have food to survive off of? Or what about going days without water and when you could drink it, you would probably get sick because it isn’t clean? Well this is how people in other less fortunate countries live. They just can’t go to the tap and get a drink or go to the fridge to take a snack out whenever they want to. They have to go and either make their own food or they have to go down to a water source and get their own non cleansed water.
In addition to having no food or water for days, what about not even having a home or a good education that you can actually carry on your life? Some cities in countries can’t even afford to build a school so that kids can get an education. Also, some people have to find a place to sleep at night because they can’t afford to build a home of their own.
On the other hand some people in different countries aren’t allowed to have jobs of go to school. They are forced to be slaves working for and work for whoever they are sent to. I know that if slavery was in of America.
If America was different today I don’t think my life would be the same.  Freedom is a part of being an American and I am very proud of my country and the people who serve for it.
