What It Means To Be An American

My definition of what it means to be an American is having the ability to better my life, have a just government,able to prosper throughout my life, and to be free and proud to live in America. As an American I should be treated equally just like everyone else under the law and businesses. People strive for this when they live in different countries and states because it is not provided where they live so I should be able to take advantage of where I live to the fullest. If I am not able to do this then am I truely “free”? Being an American I want to wake up happy to be alive where I am currently living.
When people think of America they think freedom of their problems and a better place to live. They look to America as a better place to live

because our government, job options, and the ability to raise their family better. These are all thing that can and will happen if they move to America but it will have to come with hard work. Living in America come with hard work and dedication to your life and job, a good life doesn’t just come to you. If immigrants plan on moving to America they are going to have to know this or else it’s going to be a rude awakening for them.
