Mahatma Gandhi once said‚ “Be the change you wish to see in the world.” Being an American is being free and open for change. Change is almost like an occurring thing. Sometimes I wish that maybe instead of making change‚ we could understand what we have first‚ almost take recognition.

Being American means a plethora of different things. Whether it is positive or negative‚ we are all part of a great country. The US of A gives everyone the freedom of religion‚ brings people’s dreams to life‚ but America has its flaws.

Since 70% of America is Christian‚ every other religion is dwarfed by that colossal

The word Hispanic brings up various thoughts in different people. Some might think of uneducated‚ loud‚ incompetent people. To others it might bring up words like devoted‚ hardworking‚ and loving. Being Hispanic to me means to know how to work hard and that you caring about family and friends. It also means that you are a strong person that can handle tough situations and make the best of things. My parents were not born in this country; my mother is from El Salvador.

“On Being Sane in Insane Places” I frankly don’t believe in mental illness. It’s not an illness in the way that diabetes is an illness. I believe that it’s just an emotional response to a distressed environment. I feel that mental illness is often misdiagnosed. My mother was misdiagnosed with a mental illness and institutionalized because of her suicidal tendencies. I remember going to visit her at Ancora Psychiatric Hospital‚ after a while‚ I felt like I was also a patients. I eventually got
