"what is an American?"

What is an American?

We live in a world where everyone knows about equality, liberty, and every kind of freedom. I live in a state where everyone is considered equal and free to speak their opinions and achieve their goals. The answer to the question, What is an American? , Is basically an opinion. I believe an American can be anyone who lives, eats, works, and loves this country. In my opinion, a lot of people confused being an American with being a U.S citizen.

          A lot of people immigrate for all kinds of reasons, either for better opportunities or to get away from the dangerous place they live in and other personal reasons. I think an American is a person who lives in any area of America and works to provide for themselves and their families. I think that an American is a person who’s unique and strong and comes from a different background to make a better future for them selves. An American is not one race not one religion neither one size. An American is someone that immigrated from any part of the entire world and has his/her personal beliefs. An American is not classified by its race, sex, weight, or religion but by the fact that they live in a part of America and as everyone in this world illegal or legal, they work to survive and have better opportunities and move forward in life.

          This continent is made up of people of different backgrounds and made of people with strong cultural beliefs. I think what’s so interesting and great about this world is the fact that every where you go no matter what city or country you live in you’ll always meet someone from a different part of the world or someone that is mixed with different races. I am grateful to live in such an open world where no city is the same as another and you can always experience the culture of another place in the world by people that immigrate to America, either by there foods, paintings, clothes, buildings, or different ways that they speak.

          Living in L.A is such a great experience because I have met people from different parts of Asia, Central America, Europe, India, and other places. I think being an American is something wonderful because you are considered equal to others and everyone is special because no one is the same. Every where I go I see buildings that are inspired by different places in the world like Europe, Asia, etc. An American is someone who lives in any place of America and has worked to come here and live here. America is just one big place made up of different people from different places around the world. America is a beautiful place where you experience the wonder of meeting and seeing different things of different parts of the world.

          In history, we learn about all the ways that people fought for freedom and how people achieved all the rights we have now. We have also learned the important people who have made an impact in America and in the world. An American is someone who fights for his country no matter if he was or wasn’t born in it. An American is someone that studies and works in America. In simple words, an American is someone who lives in America no matter your race and cultural background
