Chances by Preston Wong<br />
I have been living in America for almost<br />
my whole entire life and still thinking, am<br />
I the luckiest kid on earth? How so? Well, I<br />
am proud to say that I found the answer. It<br />
has been great living an American life. Life<br />
is just so well-balanced in America, unfair<br />
and fair; bad things and good things. These<br />
are just the beginning of my reasons why<br />
I am proud to be American and how it has<br />
changed me.<br />
Being an American citizen makes me<br />
feel free and shows me who I am. I am<br />
proud to be an American because there<br />
are great schools that can give everyone<br />
an opportunity to be successful in life<br />
and a second chance in life. Having a<br />
second chance is like a video game, you<br />
get to try over, and that’s the moment<br />
I knew I needed to take advantage of<br />
that. It was also the moment I knew I was<br />
super lucky. I got an opportunity and a<br />
chance to succeed. That is what made this<br />
county a balance, second chances and<br />
opportunities.<br />
Being an American has changed my<br />
perspective by giving me opportunities<br />
and chances. Now after a few years, I finally<br />
understand and worked as hard as possible.<br />
I put the effort into all my work and tried<br />
the best I could. I would never give up till<br />
the end. That is how lucky I feel about my<br />
chances. That is another reason why the<br />
country is so balanced.<br />
In conclusion, I am proud to be an American<br />
citizen because there are chances and<br />
opportunities to be successful in life.<br />
