McDowell: 1st hour

Mrs. McDowell's 1st hour

What it means to be an American

People should be able to choose how they live their lives

I can ...

My American Creed, two simple words, I can... .

How do Words, Symbols, or Rituals Express the American Creed?

How can a simple word represent ones belief on the American Creed? Everyone has a different opinion on what can represent the American Creed, it is just the way how it connects back to one.

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.

Our future depends on us

In my OpEd i explain and express how America gives us endless opportunities to achieve anything. We can become anyone we strive to be, it just all depends on us. We express our American creed everyday, it's apart of all of our lives.

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'.

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.

What We Used To Be. What We Can Still Be.

I wrote about what my American Creed was and what I thought needs to be done in America. Most of these ideals I learned about when I was writing this OpEd and some of them are things that I have learned as I live my 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.

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.

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.
