What Makes America Great

By Alaina B.

There are many things that make America great. The people are one of those things. They are all unique in their own way. The citizens are mostly respectful to one and other and follow basic rules and manners. They will hold doors for you, help you when you are hurting, and be polite. Something else that is awesome about our country is that everyone has freedom, having a say in government. People can practice whatever religions they want. Citizens in America are amazing because they work hard most of the time and are efficient. 

Another thing that makes America great is its landscape. America has many amazing places to visit. There are 61 National Parks that you can visit in the USA. They all have phenomenal views and incredible wildlife. More people need to see those spectacular places. Citizens in America are amazing because they work hard most of the time and are efficient. 

They are many different climates and cultures in America. If you like the cold, you can go up to Alaska. If you like warmer temperatures, you can head out west to Texas or Utah. The cultures are different as you travel, too. If you go to the south-western part of the US, you can have Mexican for and experience their culture. If you go to Lancaster, Pennsylvania you can see the Amish people and all of their farms. You can also taste some of their food. 

There are so many places in America that do not get advertised and that nobody goes to. They are cute little towns that are peaceful and quiet. More people need to visit these places. An example of one of these places is Gettysburg. It is very historical but most people don’t go there over other places. People do construction just to make things look better when you can just go into the woods or near a creek or river. It is quicker, easier, and nicer to find natural beauty than trying to make something that is man-made and pretty. 

The last thing that makes America great is its government and protectors. Some people think we will never be able to survive with some leaders, but we always get through it as a country. Some amazing leaders that have helped our country develop are Abraham Lincoln and George Washington. The leaders in our country recently are pretty good too, such as Donald Trump. The people that protect our country is also an amazing characteristic that we have. They keep us safe and do it all while risking their lives for us. America is the best and only country I would ever want to live in.
