Are You Proud Of Your Country?

Yes. I’m proud of my country. Not because I’m writing this essay, but because I’m really proud of my country and I have good reasons for it. It was this country that fought the world’s strongest nation of that time for freedom. There might have been hundreds of countries that had fought world superpowers and have had civil wars, but they did not believe in liberty. But this country had always believed in liberty and freedom for all, at all the time. This country began with thirteen states, and now has fifty states and a few commonwealths. Many countries used to underestimate us in the beginning, but now this country is the only world superpower. Though it was hard work to become a world superpower, but we did it. There have been many ups and downs in this country like the Great Depression of 1929, or the Civil War of 1881, but the people of this country have never given up their hope. When our founding fathers created this nation, they hoped for a united and just country because they knew how it felt to be under a tyrant, and they were successful in making such a country. That’s why you will see many people of different cultures and races living here. If you will ask any of them why their ancestor did came here, they all will have the same answer, liberty. Although their ancestors knew that the journey will be hard, they felt it was worth it. This country not only believes for itself, but in liberty for all, or why else would it help Libya as it takes down its dictator, Muammar Gadhafi. This country has a huge history of justice and liberty. I shall now say this sentence, not once, not twice, but a thousand times, I am proud of my country.                                                

Halloween

Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. I just love to trick or treat. Getting so much candy that could last for months is always a lifetime offer to me.   I'm not sure if I'm going to get dressed for Halloween this year because we're too busy to get a costume. There is one family tradition, that I will enjoy this year if my sister goes for trick or treating is that I get to take her for it and she will share half of what she gets. That is why I just love Halloween.
