We are the Future
Growing up, we have all learned about our history, what it means to be an American, and what events lead to where we are now. Our history is a part of what makes us who we are today. We learn how we got to this standing and to prevent history from repeating itself. We, the upcoming generation, are the future. It will be in our hands one day.
