Most Americans are gonna boast about being American just because they have been here their whole life. Honestly, I am the same way, I've been here my whole life and I would tell a foreign person that America is the best country in the world. They wouldn't understand why I say that because they haven't been here. Some foreign countries have absurd rules and all kinds of things that they do to their people so it makes people want to come to America.]]> 2018-01-23 16:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/223864122 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/223867124 The 3 things that I love about America is that I have a lot of freedoms. The one I like is the right to bare arms. I like it because if anyone comes to my house, I can defend myself.]]> 2018-01-23 16:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/223867124 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224273812  The second thing I like about America is that you get your license at 16. I love having my license because I can go anywhere and do anything I want as long as I drive safe.]]> 2018-01-24 15:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224273812 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224274317 The third thing I like about America is the free school. They allow kids to go to school without worrying about paying for school and all of the school supplies.]]> 2018-01-24 15:45:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224274317 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224277783 One thing I wish was different about America is that they need to stop getting in so many wars. We as a country spend too much money on war. Even though sometimes it is necessary to get in a war, I feel like we get in wars just because we want too. ]]> 2018-01-24 15:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224277783 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224281932 Another thing I wish was different about America is that the Government needs to start paying attention to these people that are in power. We are a democracy, so we choose who the president is and these other positions, but they do need to pay attention on what that certain person is doing and if it benefits this country.]]> 2018-01-24 15:58:40 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224281932 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224284590 The last thing that I wish was different about America is the Government needs to look out for these people. All of the people in this country are either obese or they are just wrong in the head. All of the advertisements that America shows, convinces these people to do things that they don't need to do, but they do it because of how the Government can persuade them. Like all the fast food restaurants advertisements all show a nice meal that is like $5, but no one knows that it's filled with a lot of calories.]]> 2018-01-24 16:03:02 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224284590 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224288318 The number one thing that symbolizes America is guns. Guns are very important to a lot of Americans. People hunt and try to protect themselves from thieves. Some people get a hold of these guns and use them for the wrong reasons. ]]> 2018-01-24 16:08:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224288318 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224291221 Another thing that symbolizes America is the fast food restaurants. Most of the Americans in America love fast food. It is quick and easy and depending on what you get, it is not that expensive. The one that really gets people is McDonald's. It is the one fast food that is really popular out of all the ones that are here in America. All of the other fast food restaurants aren't as popular, but a lot of people still go to them like Burger King, Bojangles.]]> 2018-01-24 16:13:28 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224291221 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224294642 The last thing that symbolizes America is professional sports. The NFL, NBA, NHL, MLB are really popular in America. Their are fans for every team in those leagues. Even though the MLB is Americas past time, the NFL is slowly taking over America. Most people in America love football. It is just one sport that people love to watch because it is exciting and it gets you out of your seat.]]> 2018-01-24 16:19:05 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224294642 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224299165 Hard work is a way that Americans view themselves because most of the people that live here, get there money off of hard work. Some people are just born rich. Those other people that aren't as lucky have to work and earn what they have which is what most people do in America.]]> 2018-01-24 16:27:30 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/224299165 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225094513 The second thing that Americans represent themselves with is freedom. Since we live in America, we have a pretty good amount of freedom. A lot of people love this certain amount of freedom because it lets the people do what they want to do. Also, since we are a democracy, all of the people we put in power are voted in by the people of America. ]]> 2018-01-26 15:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225094513 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225096273 I honestly think that the American Dream is how we learn it in history. Get rich or die trying. It was just a thing that happened back in the day and I think it still goes on nowadays because that's just how Americans are. Most Americans want to fulfill that dream of getting rich and living a wealthy life.]]> 2018-01-26 15:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225096273 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225098472 My dream is when I get out of high school, go to college and play football there for 4 years and if I am lucky go and play in the NFL. I have always loved football my whole life and I would love to play in the NFL for any team, but the Browns. If I was a successful adult in America, I wouldn't be like all of these people who buy a lot of things for no reason. I would buy stuff that I need and I would help all of my family members out if they ever needed it. ]]> 2018-01-26 15:38:49 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225098472 ryan_moses https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225102576 I haven't been around America much. I have only been to West Virginia, Virginia and South Carolina. All of these places that I went too all looked different form North Carolina, but it was a fun experience to go and look at how different these states were from my home state. The only thing I like about South Carolina is Myrtle Beach. West Virginia and Virginia have some nice houses that are all close to each other.]]> 2018-01-26 15:44:18 UTC https://padlet.com/ryan_moses/b1nra51gs1kl/wish/225102576
