Hope For America's Future
American History: Our Hope for the Future Eleanor Rosevelt once said, “The Future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.” In my dreams of America’s future, I see the people living with the values of the people from days gone by. When my parents, elderly relatives and friends tell me stories from when they were children, we were brought back to a time to when people had compassion for each other, helped one another, had faith in God that he would watch out for them, had respect for each other, and were independent.

In the people of history, they had a stronger faith in God than what is seen in people today. The
