The United States[edit]
America is good. America is different from all other countries. It has snow because it's far enough north.in america there is lots of different things to do in like. most of the people have more freedom in america you can do more things here then what you can do in other countries.here they have more jobs for people and you can get in schools easier here and go to college. in my country you would go to school for like first grad until u a senior and you would have to drop out because your family don't have the money to pay for you to go to school but in america you have it all you can chose to go to college or not its up to you but kids there have no choices to go to college. america is more like the land of freedom to me because we i leaved there was not freedom there then it is here kids that was like four already had to work either they have to have a job and here you can't even get a job until you pass 18 years old. so it is so much more freedom in america and i feel like i can do anything here.i really like america more then Africa because i can do anything here i can go to school and have a good job.america is a good country and i love living it.i have the freedom to speak my mind.[1]
