McDowell: 1st hour

Mrs. McDowell's 1st hour

Credo Americano

In America, hearing the phrase “I can accomplish my dreams and whatever goal I set” sparks a lot of commotion. It is a touchy subject that not everyone agrees with. I chose to interview my mother regarding this topic, an educated, successful, Mexican American immigrant.

My American Creed

This piece is about my American creed or what it should be at least. I go into detail explaining the consequence that may occur if change isn't made to satisfy my creed.

How does your family and community history connect to your American Creed?

My piece is about how my family history connects to my American creed, and I put my mother and my father's experiences and efforts to be in the United States. Therefore, I explained how their hard work shaped me into the person of who I am today, to work hard in life.

Ideals in America are but luck and chance, determined by government standards.

My piece talks about the ideals of rags-to-riches and how as a country we might not be able to achieve that because of governmental standards.

American creed is the freedom to pursue what you would like.

Everyone should be treated with the same equality and respect!

My creed is that everyone should be treated with the same equality and respect so that we all have the same possibilities to achieve our own American dream. I see this problem most in schools dealing with minorities.

My Beliefs on Women Equality

My topic is about how women equality is something that women strive to have but haven't yet accomplished. In this country that we are living in men have a bigger say in what happens to women.

My American Belief

In my essay I talk about the deeply rooted lie in American Culture, 'Rags to Riches' and include my personal opinions as well as my own 'American Belief'.

Be True To Yourself

We are all grated the right to be different. In a world full of people, emotions, and ways of living, individualism is what lets us express ourselves​

In a Utopia

This is my creed that I believe that everyone should also hold to themselves. I suggest that people work to create a paradigm where there is tolerance, in the least.

Creed is EVERYWHERE!

American Creed is not just found in things that are "American", but everything in the U.S. has a connection to American Creed.
