Inspired by America

Charles P. Guy

America is a great country Born and raised here America has inspired me to be a better person, America has also inspired me to be brave, never give up and to follow my dreams.

 

America has been a country since August 2, 1776. The people of America go about their daily lives and most people forget about the sacrifices that our forefathers made and military service members continue to make, risking their lives for the freedom that we enjoy today. Like our national anthem states "land of the free and home of the brave". The American people are very brave. With all that being said, America has inspired me to be brave like our forefathers were and the military service members are.

 

America being the great country that II is, is bound to have ups and downs. For example, The Great Depression. The economy was absolutely booming in 1928, this is an example of an up.

Society vas amazing but then came The Great Depression which pulled the entire country down. It was an awful time in America as businesses failed, unemployment drastically rose and life savings were lost as banks also failed. Despite the terrible downward turn of the economy, America did not give up hope and the American spirit prevailed. For this reason, America has inspired me to never give up.

 

America is the best country m the world. That must be the reason that there are so many businesses that choose to operate here. There are many people that have been born and raised here in America, some of which have been globally recognized as inventors, artists and athletes. Hearing their stories of success here in America have inspired me to follow my dreams.

 

America has and will always continue to be a great country. The stories of courageous American people who were determined to chase their dreams, regardless of the obstacles in their paths, should be an inspiration to us all. Live courageously, be brave and work hard to make your dreams a reality.
