Some of my stories have been deleted. But if you get the chance to read one before it is gone do it. I'm not a professional writer I am just an American who is fed up. There is an actual true American.  I'm not a negative person, I'm positive about America and all of its values. A true American believes that, and they believe and take pride in what they do and what people think about them.

This (caring) is something people are getting away from and it is sad. A true American always has and holds a job. A true American supports his or her family. A true American doesn't kill or rape. These are just a couple of examples of true Americans. People who give their life for their country are true Americans, or someone who devotes all their time to helping someone less fortunate is a true American. They are out there and not hard to find, you just have to look for them.

There are boy-scouts who want to help the earth and people who cross old people across the streets, or how about fixing something for someone without charging them?  Did you ever hear of something like that? I think its funny when I'm out with someone and they see someone in some type of need and they just ride by. It always makes me want to hang out with them for awhile just to see how long it takes before they say how no one does anything for them.

I absolutely think people like this are a joke and deserve nothing. Remember, you have to give before you get. We as Americans need to raise "true Americans" and we need to remember that's before its to late. Kids in the world really don't care about much and its sad because this is how they grow up and sometimes this is what they believe.

America is at its biggest point of need right now and we have to pull together as a family or team or whatever you want to call it and work together. If we don"t start working together we will be no better than Iran. There are to many people living here for us to always be arguing and fighting. So listen up America, it's not to late to make a fresh start. The whole Country is counting on us.
