My opinion on words and symbols that either divide or define us as a country.

poem

A reflection on how my American creed has developed over the last few years.

Personal definitions of American Creed can be achieved by taking action, by proposing different ways to insure change. Here is my way of taking part in this change.

American Creed

What does it mean to be an American? It means having freedom but abiding with the responsibility that comes with it.

In this podcast, we discuss the issue of immigration and how it affects everyday life in the US. We discuss why it is important to the success of America, and how it affects other countries, as well.

I wrote this op-ed to show that we have to keep working to make the USA a better nation

For this project, I interviewed the rector at my Episcopalian church. My goal with this project was to explore my own creed through my religion, and hopefully prompt others to do the same.

To Non-Americans, the American Creed is freedom of success and freedom of expression. This image represents a man becoming a citizen, his tears are of joy from finally becoming an American citizen and having access to new opportunities.

Is it still possible to pursue a happy life with a stable job, a family, and wealth or success in life?

In America, there are many usuals and many givens. If you don't do this, you're not American. If you don't say this, you're not American. Within this poem I talk about the changes and sub standards of America, and why it's never been America to me.

This is about the many ways people show their American Creed through actions.

Mountain biking in Lake Forest for Good Dirt to help people in Rwanda have bikes. My grit and determination allows me to finish the 25 mile ride. Thanks to living in America, I am able to afford a nice bike, eat all sorts of food, and help others.

My grandpa's American dream.

I am writing a persuasive essay based on the prominent issue of overpopulation. This issue effectively causes the majority of the issues that currently plague the earth, such as pollution and global warming/climate change.

This is a video about how music is a ritual which expresses the American Creed.

We had to pick someone from history that represents American Creed. I picked Abraham Lincoln. Abraham Lincoln has done so anything for this country so I thought he was an example of American Creed.

My Writing is about the American Dream my family's past and heritage.

I wrote this "This I Believe" essay to show why Americans should focus on peace

This is my op-ed on why it's important to respect each other.

The rights of most people living in the US weren’t fully honored as much as the Constitution said it would. One right that is not fully honored is the right of having equality in this country. Till this day many African-Americans still suffer from racism.

This video that I have made is an articulation of my American creed. Throughout this video I have interviewed three family members on my dad's side. American Creed Citation: Ball, Sam, director. American Creed. WTTW and Citizen Film, 2018.

My version american dream is free education, justice in court, and democracy as a government.

Our nation has a problem with understanding what it means to be American.

This piece is a critique of the fallacies in America today and a proposal of what can be done to stop them. This nation has tried to rely on the same old values yet still pleads that progress is being made, a stagnation that goes against the rights of man, woman, and child.

My poem is about fighting for your human rights, and knowing what belongs to you and how to stop it from being taken away.

This is how my family and community history connect to my American Creed:

My American creed is about helping people who don't have any money.
