As an American Citizen we have pride, Support, and love for America. We come together to show our support for others as well as our country. The people of America do not have to be physically forced and made to stand up and fight for our country. We stand up for the things we believe make us better as a whole.

We are not made to think a certain way or go to school and learn something we do not want to. Americans are allowed to go to whatever school they would like as well as work in any position they would like.We also have the ability to fight for what we want. ]]> 2018-01-24 16:07:15 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224287594 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224287679 The thing i love about being an American is that i do not have to worry about doing things for someone. I do not have to wake up and go to bed afraid that something bad will happen. In America you know you are protected and supported. The ones that protect us put their own lives on the line to make sure we have the safest and up to date Country. ]]> 2018-01-24 16:07:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224287679 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224288524 America to me is a place that allows you to have freedom. Throughout the years America has began to argue and protest over equality. In America you are allowed to express our own opinions. We also are open to having personal relationships and having conversations outside of the house. We have the freedom to talk to one another in public without having certain rules we have to follow.]]> 2018-01-24 16:08:53 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224288524 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224289402 The American Dream is to have freedom, rights, and equality. The People outside of America see America as having a lot of freedom and rights. When people move to America they are looking to find a job and to start living the life that America is portraying. ]]> 2018-01-24 16:10:22 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224289402 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224289903 My dream for when I grow up is to have a nice  job, a house, a farm a family, as well as strong relationships with close friends. I think that in order to become a successful adult in American  i need to have a job that allows me to do things that benefit the people that surround me and my work. If I can support the people around me i will benefit more people than just myself.]]> 2018-01-24 16:11:16 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224289903 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224290442 The one major thing that i wish were different in America is the amount of disagreements we have. Instead of being supportive and loving one another we take things out on others. If we could come together as a country and fix our problems we could become a stronger country.]]> 2018-01-24 16:12:10 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224290442 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224290674 If i could change something in America i would change the school systems. I think it is okay to have some teacher made exams, but i disagree when the teachers jobs depend on what a group of students make on a test. I also think that the school days can be too long. For most kids and teens we begin to actually function later, so we are not putting everything we know into it. I wish i could change the security in the schools. I think that if we build up our security we will eliminate some of the school shootings.]]> 2018-01-24 16:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224290674 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224295912 I think that the government should make it harder for people to get disabilities. In today's society a person can get on it, but nothing will be wrong with the person. I think the government should only allow disabilities if they have physical proof that they cannot physically perform a jobs position. ]]> 2018-01-24 16:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224295912 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224300177 I think that a plow represents America. A plow represents hard work and to me America put time, labor, and money into making America the way it is today. We have people who work and take time to invent and produce new inventions.]]> 2018-01-24 16:29:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224300177 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224631687 The American Red Cross is a symbol for America. The American red cross is a symbol for our military, veterans, and the families of soldiers. The Red Cross provides support to help cope and prepare for the challenges in the future or presence. ]]> 2018-01-25 13:40:56 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224631687 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224633292 The Statue of Liberty symbolizes America. The Statue of Liberty symbolizes and represents our country's freedom. The Statue was built after the Civil War to symbolize a democracy and freedom. After the Civil War equal rights and freedom became very popular within the different races. ]]> 2018-01-25 13:44:02 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224633292 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224634060 I think hard work is very important and an ideal that is important to Americans. The successful ones in America are the ones that have took the time and effort to make things better. Without the work and effort that has been and is being put into America, we would not have the technology, transportation, or weapons we have today.]]> 2018-01-25 13:45:24 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224634060 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224634478 I think Religion is an ideal that is very important to Americans. Today in America we disagree on topics such as abortion, gay marriage, and the separation between church and state. Many protest and arguments are over these three heavily discussed topics. ]]> 2018-01-25 13:46:09 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224634478 anna_mckenzie https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224635030 I have been to the States surrounding North Carolina. To me the surrounding states are all similar because they all have major cities that are well populated. Not only do these states have high populated cities, but they have major landmarks that people in America go to for vacations or just to visit. Each State has a certain college that stands out and is a favorite of the people.]]> 2018-01-25 13:47:08 UTC https://padlet.com/anna_mckenzie/300n7lja5uch/wish/224635030
