To be an American


To be an American       


To be an An american doesn’t mean anything to me. We are all still human beings with different thoughts. Some people may be from Spain, Russia ,Toyko ,ect...Though in the end ,we are all the same. Others may have different opinions of what an American means because they could’ve taken part of a civil war or because they have had generations. Other people say they are Americans because they are born here.I agree that I am an American because  was born here, though , most of the time, I really don’t care.I will have to present myself and say where I am because I can’t say that i’m not from nowhere.

I’m also half Mexican because that’s where both my parents come from. To be an American can mean many things. It can mean that you watch football for entertainment, you can speak English, or your grandparents that have had parents who were from America. Some people hate being Americans because they’ve been part of wars or maybe for other reasons. We “Americans” are one of other countries that prize top successors. People who are actors or great athletes are rewarded with a great amount of money and fame. Plus there are different types of Americans

People who are Americans can be rednecks ,hillbilly’s,rich or famous. I can call myself an American because that is where i was born. I don’t really care that I am an American but I’m not gonna say that I’m from nowhere. Rich Americans are mostly the most spoiled and obnoxious. Most can be annoying and in my opinion, i don’t like them very much. Reason why is not because they have what i don’t ,nor am I picky ,though is because i’ve met a few, or more than a few and they’ve all made me hate them. You can notice someone’s behavior just by observing what they have and how they act.

Like i said ,we are all the same no matter where we’re from. Sure ,we may have different languages and religions , though we are all the same no matter what. People who ask you the question “where are you from” sometimes need the urge to compete who has a better homeland or how one is better than the other. Most only ask because they are curious or are interested in you. There are some countries that Americans don’t even know about yet . American people are often called fat and stupid because we always eat chunkfood and are “brainwashed”.

America is the land of the free, we are given freedom 365 days most of us think that racism is bad in which I strongly agree. I give thumbs up for that .Though we are stubborn and have government issues like budget cuts and not enough jobs.

There are different types of Americans. There are those who are very creative and paint murals on random walls of the city. Those who work on television entertainment and get big bucks, athletes who sign contracts for a couple of years and get millions. Those who produce game shows and are known all around the. And those who have a regular cooking job, have small get together parties and live life to the fullest. I mentioned this because if we think about it , America isn’t the only country that does this. Therefore ,everyone is the same. Some countries like Iraq, are dangerous because of war related. Other than that, we are all the same.

America use to be famous for its technology, movie’s, and sports. California and New York are loved the most because it’s where shows and celebrities live. Hollywood was also a big thing back in the early 70’s-90’s because it was always filled with tourists and it was like the hall of fame. To be an American only means that you were born here and that you have the right to say so. Other than that ,being an American means nothing to most of us because we don’t discriminate where you come from. We are all family from different parts of the world. Where we come from is our title, though means nothing when it comes down to competition.

Of course when I mention to people how being an American means nothing, i’ll have about 40 opinions from random people about how I’m wrong. It’s futile to continue when people already have opinions so I’d rather just keep it to myself.

Some people who really don’t care about being Americans are always the not-so-wealthy ones. They don’t worry about having to explain to people how being an American makes them more superior , or how they have better technology. One of my pet peeves is when one person makes fun of the other because they either have a better accent or better body features making the other person feeling like crap. Though I give thumbs up to the people who don’t really care.
