Why I like America

By Alex Elgin

I spent some time in Africa and now I realize that we are very blessed in this country. I think that we are not poverty-stricken. I also say that we should not take this country for granted.

I appreciate America because we have drinkable faucet water and a sewer system. I appreciate America because we have nice hospitals where there are clean beds and good doctors. I appreciate America because we have nice public transportation and stoplights and people follow the driving laws. I appreciate America because we have stores with a big variety of food and a lot of TV stations instead of only three. I really appreciate America because all kids can go to school, even if they don't have money.

I think America is the greatest country in the world.
