The following is about a couple from Michigan who have experienced many hardships in their lives, and they have "been around the block a few times " as some may say. This accounts for their history and memories of past generations and present experiences.

Everyone is here for freedom.

My piece discusses the anti-migrant stigma that has re-developed in America.

This is a poem that describes some key points on what America was like to me. America was not just the land of the free, there were some dark and depressing points that come with this country.

This timeline describes people in the past that I believe have had a big impact on what freedom is seen as today.

My family and the American creed

I wrote about a variety of topics because I thought they were key points that I needed to hit. This is my opinion on what I think the American Creed is.

My American dream or Creed is that everyone needs to be able to have opportunities in about the same ease as everyone else.

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.

A collage of pictures summarizing my ideals of freedom and what I believe it means to be free. Descriptions for each picture are also included.

The picture I drew illustrates what an American may look like and where they are from or where they are heading. It also illustrates opportunities and the chance to be whatever you want to be and to go wherever you want to go.

My American Creed

This piece of artwork represents some of the different cultures that make up America and how if we stand united together, people in America are one step closer to achieve their version of the American creed.

The definition of American Creed is a very vast definition which some of the words used to express American Creed can have different meanings to different people. The reality of American Creed is not the reality in-general to all, but your reality.

Life is viewed differently from generation to generation. This is an excerpt of an interview with my Grandmother about our family and what it means to be free to her.

As a nation, we definitely struggle to collaborate and define our ideals and what our creed actually means, but the overall idea of what the people see our nation stands for is very optimistic and having equal opportunity.

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.

American creed has many different meanings depending on the person. To any ordinary person this could mean everyday life, but to an active military personnel, it means, "equality, working hard, and accepting everyone for who they are." What's your American Creed?

An essay about my family history and origin, and how it connects to the American Creed.

These are my thoughts on America today.

The first thing that pops into people's minds when they hear the word America is freedom. For a few centuries, people have known America as The Land of the Free and the Home of the Brave. For most of the time, America has lived up to that statement, but not all the time.

My piece is about how I view America and what I think it is all about from my perspective as an exchange student.

Symbols are what keep us together. They might seem small to some but mean a whole lot to others, and they have a way of bringing us together as a group. This is how we symbolize the American Creed.

Everyone has a different American creed, and here is mine.
