Are you proud of your country?

Authors Note: I was very happy when I found out we had to write about this topic. Writing about this topic made me show how proud I am for my country.   


 Our country has fought so many times just to keep us safe and to keep what not every country has which is freedom. I am very proud of my country for standing strong and being brave for all of us people. I am so proud of my country for keeping us safe and fighting for not just one but all of our lives.

         
          I would think many people are very proud of our country. If you are not proud no one should judge you because it is just an opinion. All of the people in the war may not know everyone in this country, but they do know that it is their job to keep us safe and they succeed in that  to make us happy, and like I said before very safe. I could not think of one person that is not proud of this country.


          Every Christmas I am so glad that they sell the poppies for the army. If you donate a dollar to the Salvation Army, you get a poppy. During the 4th of July I am so happy to celebrate the accomplishments of the people that fight for us and most importantly their family. When soldiers go away to fight I love that they know that they have a family waiting for them when they get home. A family to enjoy them, their love and what they do best.


          A lot of people have had family members in the army. Like my two great grandpas were both in World War 2, and when my great grandma was born the Great Depression was going on. Even though they aren’t here anymore It doesn’t mean that I am not proud of my great grandpas fighting for us and I am lucky that my great grandma survived the great depression as a baby or most of my family wouldn't be here. I am so proud of my country.

Summer Time

Authors Note: I wrote about a favorite season of a lot of people, This season is summer. I chose this topic because I haven't written about summer a lot and I wanted to try a new topic.



 
          Why do you like summertime? Everyone likes summertime! Most people’s favorite time of the year is summer. My birthday is July 10th so that’s why I like summer. Some people like summer because you get to do whatever you want and there is no school.

The first few days of summer, people usually are couch potatoes or they just hang out with friends. There is not one person who does not love summer. Summer is three months long, therefore school is out for three months. During these three months, kids pretty much do anything unless they make plans before hand. For example, they hang out with friends for the day, or overnight, and sleep in at home or just stay at home.

          Since we don’t have school we can all have fun! When we all don’t have school we don’t have to worry about home work and we don’t have to get all worked up about not having home work done. We also don’t have to worry about forgetting to charging our laptops the first day you get them, having A or B days for the first week and don’t think about classes you might miss or classes you have next year.

          Summer is fun for everyone and it’s a chance were you can express yourself into what you like to do best. It’s where you can play sports and try new things and see what your good at for the next year. Summer is a chance were you can just let go of your mind, but make sure you still have it.
