Personal Narrative: My Great American Citizen
My Great American Citizen After deep consideration of who to choose as my great American citizen, I decided that Beyoncé was my top choice. Not only has she inspired thousands through her music, but she also has a passion for charity. As CNN said, “Beyoncé and Jay Z have been on quite the philanthropic streak, blurring the distinction between entertainer and saint.” To start off the pillars of character, Beyoncé is trustworthy because she has no criminal record, therefore making her out to be truthful.

    Growing up I excelled in every educational aspect of school. However the stereotype for someone of my skin color did not allow for me to be both Mexican and smart. My Hispanic peers began to exclude me; the most common way they did that was by taking away my identity as a Mexican. I heard “Diego you white” an uncountable number of times throughout my schooling. I noticed that my grades and vocabulary would trigger that comment so I began to change the way I acted in order to fit in. It was not until recently that I realized the fault in changing and found a peaceful merge between the two speech communities.…

    At age 31 and rated sixteenth in Forbes’ top celebrities, Beyoncé Knowles has always made volunteering part of her everyday life. Beyoncé contributes to twenty-three charities and foundations and has established two of her own. In the same year she created her organizations, she also won best contemporary R&B album, best female pop vocal performance, and song of the year. The artist states, "I've always felt that you should give because it's what you can do to help…When you look around at all that's wrong in the world, the need to do something, no matter how big or how small, is clear." My favorite characteristic about Beyoncé is her modesty about her achievements. During interviews, she often gets embarrassed when a reporter praises her work too much or when people publicize her success in magazines. She does not participate in volunteer…

    My whole symbol revolves around an American flag because I am American. On stripes area of the flag I put the sports that I play every year, which are basketball, football, baseball, and track. If you look inside the track symbol you will see the number 400 because I run 400’s in track. The basketball is the biggest and in the middle because it is my favorite sport to play. If you follow the sports counter clock wise around the flag you will find the order of my favorite sports. I like basketball because you get to run a lot and it could get physical. I like football because you get to tackle kids without getting in trouble. The reason I do track is to travel to towns with your friends and to get the feeling of winning. I enjoy playing baseball…

I come from a democratic family, where it is strongly believed that it is the government’s responsibility to care for all people and that the government knows what is best for all people. Every voting season, my parents vote for a democratic president and explain to me the reasoning behind their decision. It was not until I was in the tenth grade that I realized that I did not hold the same political beliefs as my parents. After taking several political quizzes and extensively researching the bevy of political parties, I now know that I am an independent. What is an independent? An independent is an individual politician not affiliated to any political…

I started to work for HoneyBaked Ham part time since I was eligible to work. The paychecks felt great and giving them to my parents was felt better.

    In 2014 I came to America to study. It had been the first time I ever traveled somewhere without my parents and it was a much farther distance than I had ever traveled before. My English wasn't the best and I wasn't sure of how I would handle American customs and culture. When my student visa was approved I was very excited and very nervous, it was a big moment for me. When the time came I boarded my plane and made the journey to America. My time here has been very hard but also very fortunate for me. I have been able to study just like I had planned and I have been able to live in several different states which I am very grateful for. Over time I have been able to improve my English, thus giving me the ability to have a proper conversation with someone I may have met on a random day at the store or during my time in class.…
