Several individuals from different ethnicities, races, and citizenships, compose a society. The United Sates allow us to have a close interaction with numerous individuals from diverse backgrounds. In my own case I have been able to interact with many incredible individuals from all over the world who come from extremely different backgrounds. I am a proud Mexican who cherishes respect towards diversity. Coming from a very suffered country I am able to understand not only what does it means to feel proud to be a Latino, but also I can feel acquainted with the pain and struggle that our community has to face every day.
When the roll is called up yonder is being chanted by thousands of mouths all packed into a stadium like building. Some people raise their hands in the air swaying back and forth. One man in the audience is playing a saxophone and he bumps into several people as he honks out a sweet simple tune. But few people take notice of the saxophonist because they are fixed on the man leading the ceremony.
What does it mean to be an American today? Or rather, what does being an American entail? Does that pertain to a certain individual’s perspective?

The American experience is not unfamiliar to me, I have been visiting America since I was a child and as a child I always wanted to move to America. My first visit here I fell in love with the culture specifically the freedom of expression. However the opportunity did not emerge for me to move to America legitimately and as promising young child, I did not want to damage my future by moving to a country illegally where I could not live to my full potential. I stayed in Jamaica and I completed my University education as a registered nurse and had become comfortable with my life in Jamaica. I started working the spring of 2013 and upon receival of my first paycheck, I was reminded that this is not the place I wanted to be.
Hernandez 1 My American Dream Tapestry A child, the most innocent and most brightest creatures of us all. Never having a care in the world but always looking for laughter, hope, and fun. As a kid we have many friends, all of us sharing the same desire, happiness.
My identity has always felt inextricably linked to what Miami is. A city that is teeming with immigrants, a city with dreams stacked and slopped atop each other, and a city that is living proof of the failed American dream. I say so because of my early observation that generation after generation of immigrants often seemed to stay trapped in dead end jobs; I saw this within my own family – within my grandmother, my aunts and uncles, and even my cousins. Here it was even within my own family tree the deep implicit message that there was no way out of our socioeconomic level. When I made it into an Ivy League college, it was a message that was slowly re-enforced by the fact that my demographic was the most represented in the custodial staff rather than within my own classmates.

Freedom (liberty) is the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants without resistance. Freedom is America's honor, and honor comes with obligations and we have the obligation to use our freedom wisely. We can accept or reject the obligations, but we must choose well. I'm a patriot for country because of the freedoms that I have.

It’s sizzling. The hot air over the desert highway is motionless. From time to time, a mastodon-sized truck swims by, the metal and glass glaring in all directions. The disturbed air moves lazily aside before freezing over again just a few minutes later. The reddish-yellow spurs of the canyons are cracked from the heat, the brown hills overgrown with scattered bushes.
My Vision for America There are billions of people in the world. They all have different visions of America. Some want flying cars, some want loads of money, some just want justice. My vison, however, is different. My vision for America is equality, better Medicare, and freedom.
My vision for America in a whole is to return us to our former state of glory and fix our peoples problems. First things first we have to face the facts, America is not in great condition. Our debt ceiling has been hitting its climax, our congress shuts down because they did not want to discuss certain issues. America still has soldiers in Afghanistan, which is not necessary. We have Americans in the fast food industry demanding higher pays than our everyday heroes such as soldiers, firefighters, and EMT’s.

My Vision for America Helen Keller once said, “The only thing worse than being blind is having sight, but no vision.” As American´s we set our expectations high. We are all sure to achieve everything! My vision for America is for people to achieve their goals with that high expectations they set in the first place. In America there are four different kind of people, those who make things happen, those who watch things happen, those who wonder what happened, and the ones who don't know anything about what has happened.

This country has been through a lot, and people do not care about the struggles this country has gone through anymore. There have been thousands of people killed to keep this country value of freedom.
