Editorial
Freedom
I
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.
Another
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!
