Personal Narrative: My Generation Of America

The Generation of Americans - to me it means the way us Americans have evolved in life. The things that we’ve overlooked things or things that we are still concerned about. Now I have only lived for 13 years I don’t really know what it means to value living here in America. I’m surrounded by hearing people talk about Donald Trump or other politics and I have to pick a side. I am not allowed to vote yet so I really don’t have to worry about those kind of things but my family does, a lot of people worry about it because it impacts the future of us Americans.

You can’t just say since i’m an American I’ll be safe. Crazy people in this world will do whatever it takes to prove their point. I admit our security system could be a little better. My school leaves the gates open in the morning so anyone could really just walk in, plant something then leave. Not just at my school but anywhere, they always say that safety is the #1 priority, but it doesn’t feel like it anymore. Moving on, as Americans today we’re never united. The NFL players won’t even stand for the flag anymore, and that’s understandable they all have their reasons but we only come together in the matter of crime, or tragedy. That’s a little bit ignorant. All i’m saying is that all the way up until this moment, the generation of americans is just interesting. That’s all it is, interesting. We have a way of feeling sorry for people, then there’s people who take machine guns and aim it towards other people. It’s just ironic how we all came together because we wanted a better life, but a lot of them are getting killed, over sick and petty reasons. “I’m just a human trying to make it in a world that is very rapidly losing its understanding of being human” - John
