I hope you will make good use of it.” I believe what he is trying to explain is that our freedom’s price was far too costly for it not to be taken advantage of. His quote provided a sufficient amount of evidence for me to prove that freedom is a very generous gift from America. America’s gift to my generation is freedom because we have our very own rights

Life is a gift from God to appreciate and live out as best we can. It should be given great importance and be treasured with all our might. Life also brings about question marks‚ for example whether abortion and euthanasia are acceptable‚ what they actually are‚ and if killing in self defence is acceptable.

America’s gift to my generation is all the rights that we have. This is a gift because not all countries give their citizens rights. One right we get is the right to education. This is a gift because if we did not have a right to education we would not be able to do as much good in the world.
