Two Things Worth Fighting For

Education is important to me, because education opens doors for people to be able to get further in life. Education lets people have to opportunity to learn things they actually have interest in or have a passion to do. It leads to better advances one could make at their own extent

The veterans who have fought in these wars to protect our country. They were very giving and not selfish. They put peoples lives, that they didn’t even know, before their own. T

Millions of men and women have served in the armed forces before me and millions more will serve after. Some have paid the ultimate sacrifice; some lost and captured, others received wounds, physically and or emotionally, and that time

Service. Challenge. Ethics. The motivation I have for attending a service academy can be summed up in these three words. Growing up in a military family, my life has always revolved around service, challenge and ethics. It is what is imbedded in me and it is what I strive to continue living by.

Education has always been an important foundation upon which my family encouraged the most. Not just the education pertaining to structured schooling, but the fundamentals in life that require you to interact in society and be a part of something bigger than yourself. They demonstrated how to commit to values such as responsibility, motivation, and consistency; and, how to be open-minded and passionate about the things you believe in. These things all required a sacrifice in various ways. They always stress how “sometimes you need to give up something to get ahead, or how sometimes sacrificing the familiar and what you expect from yourself to get the results that you are seeking in the long run.”

To have a goal enables a person to do his/her best in whatever they set out to accomplish. Achieving academic excellence in high school has given me a love of learning. This desire for more knowledge propels me towards a college education that will prepare me to do my best in my future. Having the perseverance to become healthier has inspired me to work toward being a dietician. I have chosen this career goal because an increasing number of people in our country are struggling with obesity. In addition to these goals of a higher education and a career path, I would like to be a mother and raise my own family. Family is very important to me because I believe that family has a major influence on one’s personality. Without the influence of my family, I would not be who I am today.

The creation of the Bill of Rights, battles, and soldiers who died for us every day. These events and people all represent how I can live my life today, what I am allowed to do, and simply what I can even say. Freedom is not free, people shed blood for us and some even die, so that I could live in a free country. Freedom is my gift that I was given when I was adopted and through this whole year, I have learned who has sacrificed their life for my freedom and what events have impacted my freedom.

During the Revolutionary War many Americans gave their property, their families, and their lives in exchange for freedom. Would you be willing to die so that someone else could be free? Would you give up all your precious and beloved possessions to a cause that seems hopeless and impossible? Is freedom really worth what it costs to obtain? Thomas Paine once said "those who expect to reap the blessings of freedom must, like men, undergo the fatigue of supporting it." So in other words men should fight if they wish to be free. Rab and the other minute

Well for me my freedom is worth my life because at first I realize what it took to get this freedom, many wars, soldiers and grief just to get the very minimal and little freedom we have now. I am like

Education, family, and friends have always been my number one, but there's more of a story to tell. My family contains four members, my father John, my mother Dana, and my sister Hailey. My dad works for the military, Air force. He does a big favor to our country and I am proud to be his daughter. My mom Dana, is a CNA at Heritage nursing home. She wants to start her own photography business. My

Fight for your children! Fight for your future! Fight for your name to survive! Fight! For immortality!”

I care about all the people and their families that have lost their battle, those that are fighting and

Education. I believe it to be one of the greatest gifts this world could give us. My mother always told me that knowledge is power and that I could never learn enough. She taught me to love being the best I could be and to always want to know more, to question everything. There have been countless times that life has tried to take away my mom’s faith and strength, but she always felt the need to keep herself educated. When she needed to get somewhere, she walked. She had to. This improved her sense of direction and helped her in receiving a job as a postal carrier. From there, she became a federal police officer for the U.S. Postal Service. Working her way up, she was able to become a successful manager at a postal plant. But to get

Are there any causes or beliefs that are worth dying for? In history, we learn of people who fight for rights, such as independence and freedom. People who serve in the army and die in battle from protecting our country are honorable. These people put the lives of others before their own and their deaths and their bravery are honored. In some hate crimes, such as terrorist attacks and suicide bombers people who die for their causes, which is not a cause worth dying for. Moral causes and beliefs are worth dying for.

I have all the reasons in the world to take pride of defending and serving this country. Taking pride of being a soldier and serving the country without
