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.

The American Creed

What does the American creed mean? Perhaps freedom and more opportunities to accomplish your dreams.

In a Utopia

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

How and Why My Understanding of the American Creed is different

My piece explains how being a minority changes my understanding of the American Creed "all men are created equal"

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.

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.

"Education is the Key to Success"

I see education as the key to having a successful future. Many may say that what our teachers teach us in class may not be worth any of our time when really all they're trying to do is set us on the right path for the future.

You don't have to fit the American name to be an American. Let your creed show your identity.

American Success

Achieving your goals and following your dreams is what is currently coined as a success in America. However, I argue that true success comes from doing something so meaningful that it positively affects the entire nation. Unity matters and education is a great way to build that.
