I'm Proud to be an American

Today was the last day of my first semester in college.  

I'm not going to lie, I teared up in American Heritage and Political Science.

My American Heritage teacher greeted us with a video montage with pictures of America
while playing the song "Slice" by Five For Fighting.

Later I went to PoliSci we were covering current events.
Most of the hour was spent talking about radical Islamism.
I was feeling pretty depressed because of all the horrible things happening in the world today,
but then Sister Kern bore her testimony on America.
The spirit was so strong in that room.
She finished the class with a video montage.
This video doesn't do justice to the video shown in class but I couldn't find that one.
I left class feeling so patriotic.

                                

I'm grateful for America.


I'm grateful for the privilege to worship my Heavenly Father and practice my religion freely.


I'm grateful for Sister Kern, for her passion about politics and America in general, and for the time she spent into creating her presentations.  I'm sad this was her last semester teaching, but I'm glad I took the class from her before she left.


I'm grateful for our armed forces who put their lives on the line everyday to preserve our freedoms.


I'm especially grateful for my cousin Troy, who has dedicated the last five years to the Army and spent a tour of duty in Iraq.


I'm grateful for our Founding Fathers and truly believe they were inspired of God.


All in all, I am proud to be an American!!!!
