Growing Up

Growing up can be exciting because you get to try new things as you grow, and you get to have priviliges that you didnt have when you were younger. You get to see the world in a new light without anyone telling you what to do. The painful thing about growing up is that you have a lot of responsibilities to deal with, you are alone for the most part, and you have to make desisions for yourself. You have to pay for everything so that means you need a job so you wont go hungry, and you also have to worry about the government, and everything that goes with the government.

• The difference between American life today and Americans during the colonial era is that the women have the same rights and oppertunities as the man does now and she doesnt have to stay in the house all day and clean up unless she really wants to.

What motivates immigrants to come to the United States today is that we have more freedom then most countries, and that we have a lot more job opportunities. But the United States isn't all that good either because the prices of everything are getting higher and higher. If it was me I wouldn't leave my country because I have too much to loose like my family, my home, and to top it all off I have to go to another place that I don't even know about. Plus it could be really hard to adapt in another area because you are so us to eating the types of food that you catch. And when you go to another place you probably wont have the same types of food that you had back where you us to stay.
