What are some values that American's hold? 
What are some traditions we celebrate in America?
What makes an American?

America is a place rich in diversity and differences.  People come to this country from all over the world for opprtunity, freedom and pursuit of happiness.  Americans value their privacy, their freedom of speech, their education and of course, sports!  Traditional holidays we celebrate are Christmas, Thanksgiving, 4th of July, Easter, Halloween, St Patrick's Day and of course; Super-Bowl Sunday.  What is so wonderful about this country is that we are a blend of many cultures and thei is much diversity.  There are different colors, shapes and sizes everywhere we go.  There are many languages, styles, traditions and beliefs.  People come to this country seeking liberty, work, money, and happiness.  We can all live in the same country but be different, and these differences are celebrated and appreciated. 

America is in deed a "Melting Pot" but also;
America is a Roller-Coaster
