What Is America Beautiful

When I think of America, I imagine of a masterpiece. When America was first discovered by Christopher Columbus, it was a blank canvas with native American details on the rim. These details represent how the Native Americans have affected America. Since then, every triumph, failure, rise, and fall that America has had, another part was added. And though this painting was once a blank canvas, it is now a wonderful painting with landmarks from near and wide, full of every color, and includes everything important to modern America.

America to me is a place where others can come to live, a place of freedom for those who want a great life, where they can live knowing they will have a peaceful life. I appreciate and

Is America really the country everyone fantasizes about? True, there are some negative aspects to the country but overall, it’s a country I am proud to be a citizen in. I am proud to be an American because we are provided many opportunities such as having freedom and rights, free public education, and a numerous amount of government aid to help everyone.

America offers so much to the people who live in the U.S., but America will always be full of criticism, violence, and people who are offended by everything. America still seems to manage to be one of the world's best nations. The first Americans planned America to be as successful as it is, but for America to be more peaceful. America is not one of the most peaceful places, but it is not the most dangerous place to live. Even political parties lie and cheat each other. A lot of the Americans are greedy, because they take advantages of what America offers to their citizens. Even though America is not perfect I am still glad to live in the U.S.

America is a wonderful place to live, because we are free. Freedom is important, and many people in other countries do not have much freedom. I am glad I have a place like this to grow up in; where I know that I can be equal with other races and other genders. Also, I am glad I have a place like this that will respect me and I know it will be a great place to have my children grow up in.

Certain emotions cannot go unfelt. For me, gratitude and pride rush through my veins at the sound of Toby Keith’s “Courtesy of the Red, White, and Blue” or the image of Ole Glory against a painted sky. Paul Tsongas once said, “America is hope. It is compassion. It is excellence. It is valor.” The list goes on. Undoubtedly, listing what America isn’t would be much easier.

On the inside, down deep, America is beautiful. America has always been known as one of the greatest countries, since it was established. For decades, it has been known as the land of the free and home of the

Did you know that people walk on the American flag as a sign of protest? Some people are against America and its laws and are even ashamed to live in America. However, I’m proud to live in the America, because at least I know I’m free. Every day, soldiers protect my country, not even knowing if they’ll live to see another day. Many lives have been lost for my safety, and for that, I am forever grateful.

What makes America great is the fact that we will change, we will right a wrong and even if it takes decades. Along the way we will stumble and even fall but, we will eventually find our way to making the right decision.

J.Horace McFarland once said“ It is the love of the country that has lighted and that keeps glowing the holy fire of patriotism”. What the America I believe in.

There is way more things wrong with America, than right. We often notice the things that are wrong more than the things that are right. But believe it or not, we actually do some things right in the United States of America. Although we are critiqued as the nation that is dominant and makes good things seem bad. We do have good programs and people in this nation. We have an outstanding school system for the grades kindergarten all the way to the twelfth grade. As well as amazing Universities that draw in nationalities worldwide. Not to forget, we are one of the proudest countries in the world filled with some of the most patriotic people you’ve ever seen. The United States of America is usually looked down upon for its political and racist radicals. But truly, we are one of the most advanced and intelligent countries in the current era.

There was once a little boy who always dreamed of a place being better than where he was. He dreamed of going to school each and everyday and not getting to work at such a young age. He had high hopes of being someone in life like a doctor or a lawyer. But he could have never fulfilled that dream because of expenses. He had always heard of the Great Americas, so one day he said well i'll go check out how great the Americas truly are. That one young man was my Father. He had came to the United states to work and help maintain his family of (12) in Mexico. My father's story is a true sad story that I can probably talk about forever. But the real question asked here today is what makes america great.

America, It’s what some call the Jewel of the world. The land of the free and the home of the brave, but Sometimes, as humans, we forget the sacrifice that was made to make it this way. Think about how our founding fathers that came together to free the colonies from The English forces. Think of the Men and women that fight this very day, this very hour, to keep this country free, protected, and growing.

As everyone gazes at the crimson red and snow white stripes on the flag, we all know our founding fathers have done us well. We look at the flag with happiness and gratitude, always taking our hats off in its presents. Americans show much appreciation to the flag and most everything we have accomplished. America means so much to us, more than practically anything else. America means three things to me; freedom, beauty and farming.

I am proud to be an American because it is a place where everyone belongs, where no one is left out. In America there is always room for hope and prosperity. America might be free, but in this land we fight tooth and nail for what we believe in, no matter what it is, no matter the cost. America is the country of fighters, know worldwide for fighting for their beliefs, for fighting for what we think is right. I am proud to be an American because of it's sanctuary it offers, because of the men and women that fought selflessly for our freedom. I am proud because of America's rich history that makes it the country that it is
