What my country means to me
Being an American citizen is the most essential thing to me. I am swollen with pride to be a young black man who is privileged enough to be born into a world of freedom, righteousness, and equal opportunity. To me, my country stands for civil rights, it is the reason we have become the most diverse, authoritative country in the world. From women being given equal opportunity as men, and children such as me having the same opportunities to become anything I want, has made me honorable in being a United States citizens.
Harriet Tubman is someone I imagine, when I think about what my country means to me, it means freedom. Freedom is the state of being liberated and free, rather than in confinement or under physical restraint. What does your country mean to you? Having self-determination has given people the right to free speech, the right to vote; also the right to fight for what is right. Such as the revolutionary war which was about fighting for the rights of all people.
It also means to me, that I have the right to a free education, and that I have the ability to be an intellectual prodigy. Furthermore, my country means that we the people have the right to practice any religion, or culture we choose. The thing I love most about my country is that even through hard times such as the great depressions, and our many wars. America has always been able to bounce back and get back on its feet. America has made some good and bad decisions but through it all I have stuck with my country. And to conclude this short but meaningful passage, I just wanted to state that I love my country and I am, a proud American citizen.
