America is a country that has been a home to many different cultures and heritages. Many immigrants have chosen America because of the freedoms and opportunities to have a family and start a new life here.

My piece is about the perspectives that make America what it is today.

America is a nation that was created to thrive in greatness, from the day it was deemed a country they had one goal, to give freedom to those who don’t have it.

If we put aside our differences, we are able to become, build, and do whatever we desire because we have so many freedoms and privileges.

Being American means that you have respect for your country; it means that you have integrity and moral ethics; that you show patriotism and that you support your country no matter what.

This is about the film American Creed.

To me, being American is much more than just being an American citizen or living in American.

Schools in the United States should have equal access to education, regardless of where the school is located.

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

The American Dream

Over the course of American history, Americans have had separate views of what it means to be an American citizen.

To be an American means to be united. We were named the United States of America, so Americans can come together to solve problems and to help this country thrive. Not to become separated over issues that Republicans and Democrats can't agree on.

The word freedom comes to mind when we think of the question what does it mean to be American because America is known throughout the world as a country built on freedom.

We as a country need to get more connected with each other and stop using our smart phones and social media to speak to each other. We need to talk face to face about the countries problems and what is going on in our country.

One thing we can’t change is the generation before will always look down and judge us. One thing our generation can do, and is already doing, is take a stand on issues that generations before us have been afraid to speak about.

Our society seems to be self-centered and too focused on their own individual issues rather than helping others. We have to work hard and accept everyone’s differences in order to build that American Dream.

Our final paper for Senior year (2018), my thoughts on how to improve or somewhat improve the conditions of American lives, by increasing communication.

Failure doesn’t define who we are as Americans. America got to where it is today by overcoming the unthinkable and never quitting on our own individual ambitions. Anyone can be who they want to be through perseverance and dedication.

Millions of people have immigrated here and in the future millions more will try. On October 17, 1933, one man moved to the United States of America. It was just a normal day, and he was just one of hundreds of people to move here on this particular day.

Everyone is here for a purpose. Everyone wants to live their own version of the American Dream.

My essay was about the perspectives of being an American from the eyes of Terrence Davenport. His views on struggle and unity, in my essay I write about how hearing his perspective on what it means to be American, and how it affected my views on struggle, ingenuity, and unity.

Unity is fundamental element in America, yet with the current state of politics and media it has become easier to segregate ourselves from each other.

Use your voice and get to know your government better.

We all share the same dreams of success.

Community is a big part of making the American Dream happen.

This paper is about the film American Creed

In order for more United States citizens to achieve the American Dream, the education system that is currently in place needs to be improved with a funding increase.

Through hard work, fighting for your identity, knowing who you are, and being true to yourself it can lead you to the American Dream. People need to value their opportunities and work for what they want.

Talented educated people are stuck living in a place where they are not able to take opportunities that will benefit them for their own good. They are not able to take their talents to better themselves because they are too poor to move away and take the opportunities.

We as Americans should pay heed to the perspectives presented in this documentary. Instead, our society should be encouraged to focus on unity. In order to accomplish this goal, we need to properly educate the future generations.
