Konsep Good American Citizen
Being an American Citizen for some is a birthright, for others it is attained through
naturalization. Recently, I was at a rally where a woman stated that she came to America
to become a citizen because this was a country that expected each of us to DREAM. If

Her comment also reminded me that it's important to be a GOOD American Citizen; to

Protect your country.
Protect the values, the Constitution, the citizens, the land we stand on, the water

Be educated.
I'm not suggesting that everyone needs to have a college degree, but know what's
going on in the country. Know our history, be aware of our ever changing culture,
and be familiar at the very least with our governing documents (i.e. The
Constitution and The Bill Of Rights).
Go one step farther and be a role model to each and every child, instilling in them
the values, freedoms, and dreams that can be realized here in the U.S. now and in
the future.
