The American Dream

Being in America, I must say that we are all blessed. With such amazing opportunities, rights, and freedom, I must say that I am glad to live in this great country. Compared to many other countries, it would be just as difficult to do the everyday tasks we do today in a different country such as Afghanistan where just walking to school is just as dangerous as walking through downtown Olympia.

I believe many people would do anything to be where us students are today getting an education for our future to come. What is an on-going problem is that we abuse this right with bad grades and just carelessness. Even after realizing the fact that other people would kill to be in our position, some just don't seem to care.  What would be wonderful is if everyone would realize and understand this clearly enough to actually accept what opportunities we were given and excel in them.

For me, I don't have a plan for the future right at this moment. Thankfully, I have just as many great opportunities that lie in wait for me and I don't have to worry as much until later on. All I know is I want to be a successful person in which I have a nice house, nice family, and a great job that I love to do.
To know that I am blessed with such things makes me happy to live in such a wonderful country.
