It was actually nice to get a fresh, clean slate when I came to America.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Every American wants a clean slate, but nobody wants to lose what they've got.
I came to America to make it my home, and I did.
I'm glad I get to live in the United States of America.
Rather than be asked to abandon one's own heritage and to adapt to the mores of the new country, one was expected to possess a treasure of foreign skills and customs that would enrich the resources of American living.
It's been a good thing for me to try and understand America.
America has been so welcoming to me.
I would much rather America was a more stable, wonderful place. You know, I love it.
So the America I came to know growing up was filled with all the excitement and possibilities found in living the American dream.
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.
How wonderful it is to be an American. We have known the best of times and the worst of times.
