It is great thing to be an American girl. It is nice that in America there is freedom. There are many different definitions for the word American. To Michel-Guillaume Jean de Crevecoeur an American was a strange mixture of blood from different nations. A new man with religion and different laws. I am proud to be an American because I have freedom of speech, religion and to live in the world of opportunities.
To be an American girl I have the freedom of speech. If I disagreed on something, I would be able to give my personal opinion in regard to the subject. It would count and matter, not like back in the old days, when a woman’s word was not allowed nor was it excepted nor did it mean anything. All a woman was good for was to be a housewife, who takes care of the house, food and the children. I am glad we have a right to education to become whatever I want to be as a good educated person.
In America there are many different religions. You have a right as an American to believe in whatever you want. People should not discriminate you against religion, yet ignorant people still do.
Many people have immigrated to America because it is known for the land of opportunities. My family is second American-Latino generation. My grandparents came from El Salvador, Mexico, and Guatemala. They came here for a better life style and they made the best decision for their families. I actually have an opportunity to go to college and I consider that a privilege. So if you ask me if I am proud to be American, my answer would be yes.
