For many of us who were born and raised in this country, including me, it's sometimes easy to forget how special America really is.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in a country that I thought was special. And it was.
What makes America special is that people come here, assimilate and become American with all of the rights and responsibilities citizenship bestows.
How wonderful it is to be an American. We have known the best of times and the worst of times.
I have a very personal feeling about how special America is, and I know how precious freedom is. It is a sacred gift, sanctified by those who have lived it and those who have died defending it. My right to speak my mind, to have a voice, to be what some have called 'opinionated,' is a right I deeply and profoundly cherish.
America is truly special because it's founded on an idea. It's the ideological and philosophical equivalent of a formless God, in other words, you know? It's, again, the only great country in the world that it is formed out of words.
My family's story isn't special. What's special is the America that makes our story possible. Ours is a nation like no other, a place where great journeys can be made in a single generation. No matter who you are or where you come from, the path is always forward.
I love America the way I love my family - I was born into it. And there's no escape out of it.
People say America is exceptional. I agree, but it's not the complexion of our skin or the twists in our DNA that make us unique. America is exceptional because we were founded upon the notion that everyone should be free to pursue life, liberty, and happiness.
I'm not an American, but I have this weird connection to America in different ways through my dad living here for five years, my godfather being an American who I'm very close to.
I know America is the country that loved me most.
