My idea of what an American is could be considered old fashion and would probably fit better in Benjamin Franklin’s era than the current time period. Most people have heard the saying‚ “as American as mom‚ baseball and apple pie”‚ however‚ I feel that what makes a person an American is deeper and more meaningful than that.
