I am the youngest child of my family. In addition to that‚ my older sibling is an inherently dominant boy. Therefore‚ I have spontaneously felt inferior to him. My strong sense of leadership was not established until I left my home country. A thirty-hour exhausting flight physically transported me from Vietnam to a foreign land - America‚ as well as figuratively transformed a childish girl to a young leader at the age of fifteen. I moved in with my uncle’s family in Texas. From a careless‚ youngest

The back of my head stung and snow swirled around my face! I had been hit by a snow ball! I was not alone after all! I scanned the top of the hill but I couldn’t see the culprit‚ I quickly made my way to the top‚ after a quick search I assumed

“America’s Gift to My Generation” Have you ever wondered what America is like? I’m born in America and being in America is wonderful to me. America means alot to me and the community.

America’s gift to my generation‚ in my opinion this phrase does not begin to thank everyone in our great country for what they have done. For all the men and women that went oversea and fought for our freedom. For the people that don’t only do what is expected but give another 200%. For all of the men and women that have given their lives for our country. For all of you a gift is a huge understatement and you all deserve much more than just this essay as a thanks‚ but at least I hope these essays

America has given my generation many privileges and gifts. Some of them we might take for granted or not realize they are gifts at all. Americas’ Gifts to My Generation that I am most thankful for are technology‚ Freedom of Speech‚ and laws. Technology is a gift to my generation. Technology can educate us in many different ways.

I only spoke when I was spoken to‚ and even then I’d give a short response. I felt like I had so much to say but never found the right way to say it. I never found my voice until my eighth birthday when I had received

America’s Gift to my Generation is safety. For years our country has been threatened by outside forces. Without the military that America has and has had I would not live in the safe country I do today. I feel especially patriotic towards the military because my grandfather fought and was shot in the Vietnam war. The fact that he could have died for not just the sake of the people who were back in America at the time but for my generation’s safety. Not only has America ensured safety for it’s own
