A Proud Country

Authors note: This is an essay explaining why I am proud of this country. It is to help me on my goals.

            

      If anybody could pick one country and only one country that they’re the most proud of, what would it be? For me, it is simple. I think the land of opportunity is the country that everyone should be proud of. Not only did the US fight the British for freedom but, they inspired a lot of countries to do the same. I am very proud of this country, for what has been done in history. I truly think this is the best country in the world for a number of reasons.

             

     The first reason is that I am proud of this country for getting everybody freedom. Being in England for a long time, many people did not like it. Settlers came here because it was awful in England. The living conditions were horrible and, if you were poor, you had to follow the unfair laws.

            

      My next reason on why this is an amazing place, is the way America acted after 9/11. When America was attacked, our country did not just do anything, they invaded Iraq in hopes to stop the terrorist group that caused 9/11. I think what we did was very risky but at the same time brave. Not a lot of countries could stand up for themselves like America did. Especially now that Osama Bin laden is dead.

             

     My final reason is that we represent freedom like no other country, America inspired other countries to get freedom, and that really is something to be proud of. When America got away from the slaves it helped other countries get away from slaves too. I think if America never made the decision to free the slaves, all other countries would have slaves just like America.

             

     These are all my reasons why I am proud of my country. America is the land of the free and is the greatest country in the world, in my opinion. Other countries are still good but it is not even close to where America is.
