to be an american cititzen is to let go of any connectios of any other countries and to follow the laws that make the united states It means being brave, being proud of this Country, and being confident that we will succeed. Being an american is an honor not a privilege. Being a citizen is supporting the troops that are fighting for out Country. It means that you treat your fellow Americans with respect and dignity. As us citizens we should be supporting our government system and there should be more security in schools but it is our job to impact our schools and make them the place that we want them to be.
