What makes an American an American? Is it the accent‚ the clothing‚ the fact that you can speak the English language‚ or is it the fact that you were born on American soil? I believe it’s certain characteristics that set us apart from other countries. The fact we are self-reliant‚ and competitive‚ and the compassion we bring to others are some‚ of many‚ American characteristics that help set us apart.
