My Special Place In America

Finding ones place in America can be difficult at a young age because most teenagers in high school do not necessarily have their life planned out just yet. In high school, us students are still trying to find our place in our normal every day life with our teachers and peers. Every day we walk down the halls of our high schools, completing our school day and getting closer and closer to our graduation date. We all have a general idea of what we want to do with our lives, but none of us know for sure exactly how our lives will turn out. I, myself, am still undecided on a major and pray that The Lord will lay on my heart what his plan for my life is, one day soon. One thing I do know is that I want to help others and that is how I know my place
As a grandchild of a veteran, I hear many stories from my grandfather about life on an Air Force base. I’ve always had a special place in my heart for people who have died for our country to keep our country free. Because of that special place in my heart for these people, I feel more than obligated to give back to them and my country. I think my place in America after I get my education is to help others in under privileged areas to help better their communities and education system. I feel the need in my heart to especially reach out to military families and make sure they have all the support they need while living their every day life as their loved is away fighting for our freedom. I believe after I graduate college and go out into the real world on my own that The Lord will lay upon my heart the things he wants me to do for all those in need. I may be unsure about what specific plans The Lord has in store for my life after college, but I do know there are many simple things I can do in my community to make it a better place right now. Being apart of two groups in my town whose focus is to better the community, I am glad I already have the privilege of giving back to my country at age
