My Creed, My Lead

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

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 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 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.

I talked about the symbols that signify the American Creed. I only talked about three different symbols but one of the symbols are words. I mentioned those symbols because I could relate to them the most and I could connect it back to my own American Creed.

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'.

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.

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

This piece was written to remind us of the symbols that represent our American Creed.
