★ ★★★★★★ C[hg I Me To Me In America ‘-Written by (Janet Haws, low nine I T IS HARD TO SAY why I or any other American is glad to live in America, because there are so many reasons. When you compare life here with life as it is lived in other parts of the world today, you can not but help feel that every real American should be glad that he is an American. I realize that this is one of the few countries of this world today where every child regardless of political or bnancia status, has the opportunity of attending school and securing an edu- cation. The children of today don’t stop to think how lucky they are to be able to go to school and learn whatever trades they want. Do you ever stop to think what you would do without freedom of speech, freedom of press and freedom to wor- ship as you please? What rights would we have without the Constitution? I think that is why most of us like to live in America. Probably the most important of all is the right to vote and elect the people we want for offices, not only of city state government, but the United States government. We have a voice in making national laws and international policies. I think this is one of the great- est things for anyone to do. Another great thing is that each person can make something of himself. Maybe the fellow sitting next to you today will be someone you might be reading about twenty years from now or he may be a famous person, even president, because in America there is always a chance for everyone to suc- ceed. I don’t know what I will be doing ten years from now, but I do know that in ten years I will still have the rights that I have today and probably have more! 1 think every child in America to day is looking forward to serving his country in some way.
