Over two centuries ago, the birth of a great nation unfolded as it gained its independence. This act of courage would be remembered throughout generations that followed as Independence Day. America gaining its Independence did not only put a dent in its history, but would forever change the course of history itself. Throughout that era, it was only a select few, mostly those born into power and privilege that can achieve success and exercise their rights.

Nevertheless, through the sacrifice of brave men and the heroic leadership led by the founding fathers, the United States of America was born. It was indeed a rare moment, especially in that time of history, for there was very few times when the common people could rise against those who oppressed them. As people from Europe, and eventually all over the world heard of the opportunities in America, people from various countries flocked in numbers. This great nation would become to be known as the land of opportunity.

From then on to today, this country continues to be shaped by the dreams of so many. The diverse culture, the fact that we can be there for one another with people that are descendants from all over the world adds to the value of what it means to be an American. It is the work, sacrifice, respect, and most of all the leadership that Americans demonstrate to fight for justice, that makes this country so great. Therefore let’s celebrate with one another our Independence Day. Happy 4^th of July!
