Freedom

Girl sitting at her deskI think freedom is when you can have freedom of religion. This means you do not have to have the same religion as someone else. For example, if you celebrate Christmas, all people do not have to celebrate Christmas.

Freedom is also being able to go to school. Girls in Afghanistan did not get to go to school until this year because people thought girls should not be educated. I am free to get an education.

ClassroomAnother freedom is freedom of speech, not like saying "bad words", but giving your opinion and telling how you feel. For example, if you do not like what President Bush is saying, tell people you do not like it or write a letter to the editor of the newspaper.

Freedom is a very powerful thing. I am very happy to be an American girl!
