In America you have the ability to do anything that you want. You do not have to live your life any specific way, you are free to do absolutely anything and the resources to do so from a young age. From the time people in America are 3 they are able to go to preschool and continue onto elementary school, middle school, high school and then college and this opportunity is free to us, which is something people in some countries can only dream of.]]> 2018-01-23 16:13:24 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/223852858 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/223861427 1. One about I love about being an American is that I am able to get an education for free. In America we are able to go to school and earn a high school diploma for free and then we can go onto college.]]> 2018-01-23 16:27:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/223861427 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/223868435 1. One thing I wish was different in America is I wish there were more opportunities for homeless/starving people. ]]> 2018-01-23 16:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/223868435 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224249658 I think that the American experience is symbolized by opportunity. In america the opportunities are absolutely endless. ]]> 2018-01-24 15:07:20 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224249658 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224249787 I think an important factor on how Americans view there country is that it is the best place to live. Americans take pride on how great their country is.]]> 2018-01-24 15:07:36 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224249787 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224250600 When I hear the American dream I think of people having an education getting to the job they have a passion for, retiring and growing old with their spouse and doing whatever it they would like to do and just being happy.]]> 2018-01-24 15:08:56 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224250600 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224267360 My dream and what being a successful American looks like to me is having a job that you truly are passionate about. I wanna wake up and be excited about going to work and not think about how ready I am to go home because I hate my job. I also wanna have a nice home and a loving husband and kids.]]> 2018-01-24 15:36:03 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224267360 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224267606 In my life I have lived in two different states. I was born in New York and lived there up until I was six. Before my 7th birthday we moved to North Carolina. ]]> 2018-01-24 15:36:23 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224267606 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224270495 2. Another thing I love about being an American is the freedom, in America you are able to do what you want. What religion you are, what you wear, how you live these things are all up to you.

Something else about America that I love is the opportunity. The opportunities in America are absolutely endless! There are not too many things in America that you can not do.]]> 2018-01-24 15:40:11 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224271080 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224271646 2. Something I wish was different about America is wish the cost of living was not so expensive. I feel everything in America is so overpriced especially because most things have such a high tax.]]> 2018-01-24 15:41:01 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224271646 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224276189 I think another important factor on how Americans view their country is that America is a place where you're free. America is one of the few places where you are free and Americans take pride in their freedom.]]> 2018-01-24 15:48:27 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224276189 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224277961 What I think symbolizes the American experience is freedom. In a America you can wear, think, say, and do whatever you want to. ]]> 2018-01-24 15:51:44 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224277961 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224278141 I think another thing that symbolizes the American experience is college, because  that opens the door for you to do what ever you want in life.]]> 2018-01-24 15:52:05 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224278141 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224278381 I have seen two very different parts and I thought they were beautiful in there own way. The city's beautiful in the way that anything is possible and around you there may not be anything but skyscrapers around you but they all look different and have so much to offer. The country is beautiful in the way that its peaceful and the mountain ranges are so pretty. ]]> 2018-01-24 15:52:33 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224278381 stefani_montesano https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224285240 3. One thing I wish I could change about America is how quick the people are to judge. People are so quick to judge people before they know anything about the person.]]> 2018-01-24 16:03:48 UTC https://padlet.com/stefani_montesano/3ovkdka6k218/wish/224285240
