I am a 23-year old American female living in the nation's capital. I am so blessed to be born in America; however, sometimes I feel like I don't quite fit into the culture, which has become classified as incresingly lazy, ungrateful, and careless. The American dream was once to live a life of freedom of choice, and that has surely been demonstrated as citizens choose to consume more than necessary (both at mealtime and as economic pundits) and watch highly-addictive television rather than exploring the outside world with their own eyes.
I strive to maintain the original American dream, and what I hope to express as a global dream: to take advantage of the wonderful experience called life and to nurture my body so as to live long and productively. I use this space to express my insight on what our culture has become and to, hopefully, provide solutions to reverse our plunging image as a disrespectful and greedy society. Go USA!
