How freedom is an essential aspect to American life's

American lives are lived with freedom and sometimes we take that for granted and I believe if we didn't have that freedom are lives would be completely different.

By Daniel O. from ASU Preparatory Academy in Arizona

Freedom is an essential aspect to the life of all Americans

Many Americans have fought in wars and joined the Army to protect the freedom we have. Immigrants come to our country to get the freedom they don’t have and come for better job opportunities. The American freedom we have I feel like most Americans take for granted just because we’ve been around it our whole life and don’t know what it feels like to not have the freedom we have.

 Having freedom in our American Creed is an essential aspect to life for most Americans and people coming to our country. Freedom is what makes our country so great and why we have the best opportunities on getting jobs and making our own life decisions.
