What It Means To Be Free

I feel that freedoms are something that need to be repeatedly won. They aren’t something that should get pushed aside in our world. In every generation, we need to win back our freedoms as a human being. Today in my life outside and in school, I have certain freedoms that I wouldn’t get in one place or the other.

If you don’t keep any of your grades above this standard, you may get kicked out or have to drop the class. To stay in these classes, students might get certain tutors for help or work harder. One last freedom I receive is sports. A sport I play with my freedoms, is softball. Once you make the team, you have to practice.

Once you get better, you get more playing time with your team. In conclusion, freedoms are all around us. Freedoms have to be earned each generation. They are in everyone’s lives. At home, school, and in our communities. Freedoms are
