Many people from all around the world wish to someday be American. I have the lucky privilege to already be American, and I am proud to be one. America is a nation to be proud of because we have the freedom of speech, America has many different religions, and it is also a free country. People are proud to live in America for more reasons too, all varying in what they choose to believe in and think is right. I am proud to be an American because in America we have the freedom of speech. With the right to speech we are able to stand up for what we think. We’re allowed to protest about things we don’t agree upon. With freedom comes responsibility though, we are allowed to protest, but we aren’t supposed to threaten. If you threaten someone/someone’s life you can get in trouble. This responsibility is good though, it helps to keep people from saying without thinking.
In America there are many different religions. I’m glad I live here because people express their own form of religion without getting judged. Many people move to and are proud to be American because it is so accepting over this delicate subject such as religion. Religions have been compared and judged as far back before America was even discovered. America overlooks that fact and allows everyone to believe what they want to believe.
America is also a free country, meaning that the people have rights. I’m proud to say I live in a country where I am free, not every country has the privilege to say that. Being a free country the people are the ones with rights, our rights are listed as the first 10 amendments in the Constitution referred to as the Bill of Rights.
Now as you can tell there are multiple reasons why I am proud to be an American. In America we have the freedom to speech, we have many different religions, and we are also a free country with our own rights.
