What is an American?

     To me, an American is someone who has unfaltering hope and drive to make their dreams a reality. They limit themselves to nothing and acknowledge the idea that, for them, anything is possible. By living in this country of freedom, we enable ourselves to view the world from a much more optimistic perspective than those who do not have the same advantages. True Americans know that they shouldn't take what they have for granted; they appreciate their freedom and do not abuse it. They respect and are thankful for those that make living in America a luxury. Most importantly, though, an American has a love for their country that cannot be rivaled.
