Authors Note: This piece is for the Patriot's Pen essay. I tried to incorporate my voice as much as my research I did.
How much do you
love our country? I am very proud to
live in the country we live in today.
The founding fathers are the reason why I love this country so much. So the question is, "What would I tell
America's founding fathers?"
Well, I would first thank them
for all of what they did, then ask a few questions that I'm confused about, I
would then finish with why I'm proud to be called an American citizen.
The reason why I
am thankful for all of the founding fathers, is because of what they did with
the government. They established the
first large scale republic in the modern day.
If it wasn't for them, we would be living in a completely different
country. Another thing I wanted to talk
about was some questions I had. How hard
was it with just 10-15 main people to make this country the way it is
today? Why did we have problems with
China? I think he reason I am proud to
be an American citizen is because I know I can wake up in the morning, go to
school, and come home and stay safe the whole time. I can also go to bed not having to worry
about being taken at night or getting robbed.
So I thank the founding fathers for all that they did to make this
country such a beautiful place.
That's what I
would tell and ask the founding fathers if I had a chance to. Now that you know what I would say to the
founding fathers, and why I am proud to be living in America, what would you
America's founding fathers? Just
remember when you are going to pay for something with a $10 bill, Alexander
Hamilton, (one of the many founding fathers) is the face on that $10 bill.
