I'm Proud to be an American! by Becca (age 11) Audio Version

I’m very proud to be an American. America is a great place in which to live. People in America have many opportunities to succeed if they work hard. We also have freedom of religion, and Americans are people who are caring and help those in need.

First, Americans have many opportunities to succeed if we work hard. There are good schools throughout the country providing an excellent education for American citizens. If we work hard in school, we can accomplish great things in life.

Next, Americans have freedom of religion. We can choose to worship God in any way we want. There are many different religions in America, but the government doesn’t tell us how to worship. As a matter of fact, the early Americans came from England for this right.

Finally, Americans are people who are caring and help those in need. Americans really care about the safety and health of others. Americans always donate clothes and food to the needy, and are among the first to help anywhere around the world where disasters like earthquakes or volcanoes occur.

In conclusion, Americans are great people. I’m very proud to be an American. Not everyone can say the same about their country.
