For many Americans freedom means they are allowed to vote

For many Americans freedom means they are allowed to vote, say what the want, and live whatever life they
wish to. However, freedom and the American dream mean a little more to me. To me, freedom is the feeling you
get inside when you watch the news and thank God you are healthy and safe. Freedom is the feeling you get
inside of yourself when even though the most tragic events occur you are able to hold your head up high
knowing that we are protected and we have something other countries may never dream of having: genuine
comfort, happiness, and a people that will forever stand for these things. Yes, for me freedom doesn’t mean I
can elect a president, or bash one I don’t like, freedom is not a bold flag, or a chunk of land, no freedom is the
feeling we all have in our darkest hour, that little voice saying “things will get better, after all, you’ve got me on
your side.”
