What is America

Where Did America GO?

What is America

How is it going, universe? My name is Brianna, it is very nice to meet you. I'm here to talk about what is right and what is wrong with the world today, right now. Especially in our beloved country that is known as the United States of America. Well, so far we elected some bigoted person who thinks he knows everything but doesn't know anything. Maybe something about money, but not about running a country. But, we should just give him a chance, right? Well, sure, why not since we've already elected him president. We can't let him divide us just because of our different views and the color of our skin. We can't let him do that, no. We must stand together and go against together. We all maybe different colors and have different social views, but we can't keep going against each other. That is what's wrong with society today. There is always a race between everyone. I may be white, but I'm not racist. Just because I'm white doesn't mean I'm racist. Just because you may be Mexican or African-American doesn't make you ghetto or an immigrant. Our country was founded by immigrants, and we took land from the Native Americans. Well, not us, but our ancestors did.

We were all divided back then because of segregation and America having a race problem. America still has a race problem, and most people are thinking that there isn't. Well, Betsy and Randall, there is a race problem. There are many other problems as well, but I will mention them later. There is a race problem with Muslim women getting their hijabs ripped off their head just because they are the wrong religion. Hm, odd, does that sound related to the race problem? Yes, it is related to the race problem. They aren't the wrong religion. They live in America, a nation that is suppose to be free to pray to whomever your religion prays to, a nation that isn't suppose to take rights away from people, and a nation that is suppose to give equal opportunity to everyone who comes to live here. But, everyone thinks Christianity is America's main religion. It isn't, hun. America doesn't have a set religion. Nor do we have a set race. America is filled with so much culture and diversity, and no one wants to praise it and get along.

This Isn't America, this Isn't America at all. What is America anymore?

Mistakes are something we all make, no matter how old we get. Most of the time, the mistakes we made are little and sometimes due to something out of our control. Yet, there are mistakes that are bigger than others. Personally, I have mistakes that I wish I could go back and undo. Here they are:

5 Things To Do That Are Better Than Writing A Paper

Don't waste your time trying to write that paper when there are so many more interesting things you could be doing.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?

sisters
Taylor Hooper

I can barely remember back when I was the only child. Most would say it’s because it is extremely difficult to remember things as a toddler but I would say it's because I was bored until my sister came along. My mother always says how important the "sister bond" is and with every year that passes I realize how right she is. Instead of writing a novel about all of the wonderful things there are about having a sister I decided to list a few of them instead.

It is the time of our lives that we are beginning to enter the adult world and most of us, if not all of us, have no idea what we are doing. It's like starting a video game, but skipping the tutorial. We're all just running around aimlessly hoping we accidentally do something right that moves us along the right path. Now that graduation has just happened, or is right around the corner for some of us, it's time to start thinking about how we are going to take care of ourselves once we are on our own.
