- America is often known as the land of opportunity. I’m grateful that regardless of skin color, gender, and ethnicity, everyone has a chance to thrive in America. Anyone can come to America and make a life for themselves.
- In America, regardless of our differences, we can all peacefully coexist. Even though we may have different opinions and backgrounds, we are all united in the fact that we are American.
- A basic education is provided for everyone. In many other countries, education is sometimes denied to girls simply because they are female. I’m grateful that as a female, I can get the same education as a man.
- Every American has the right to free speech. We are allowed to speak our minds. You cannot silence people based on opinion or any other differences.
- Millions of brave Americans have stood up and fought to keep the American way of life. I’m eternally grateful for the people that have paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
