Make America Great Again

The Delicacy of Democracy

Make America Great Again

I see all that rest alongside Highway 411, wherein the remnants of a democracy once in deference of conventionality still exist. Thereupon the way mid-rustic lure, adorned by vast, vacant plains and becoming hills, curving eastward the northern bend of the beautiful Weiss Lake to the fringes of Leeds, where even the wind gathers with aim, there I see the fount of all liberty in wake of nether USA. Wherefore, I have hope that I may someday see the reclamation of our nation’s heritage.

There is a seeming act that has taken place here in America, whereby the anchor of liberty has weakened to a fault. Many citizens are now in search of domestic properties deemed to be manners of individualism. By this, the American Dream has become nothing more than a fictitious hope, because of the pursuit of happiness’ enduring route.

Nevertheless, this forlorn hope of our nation’s purity stems mostly from populous cities and the minds of iconoclast, who dispraise tradition for self-rule, in which, they justify with much verification, to be the same liberty spoken of in the Constitution. However, without tradition there is no remembrance, and if there is no remembrance, then we forget who we are – The People. And if we say we are merely mavericks, indifference with nationalism, we are not practicing the first amendment but abolishing it, for you can not be in dissonance with a nation and have consonance with the precepts that made it.

For there are many who desire to see the eradication of Christian ethics throughout all governmental, social, political, or whatever sprouts a communal grouping. With reasons pertaining to freedom of religion, they say – though this nation has long since been the embodiment of such freedom no other land can correlate thereafter the implantation of Judeo-Christian doctrine was sown over it. Even before the signing of the Declaration of Independence and it’s confirmation, Christianity has been the cornerstone of faith by which this nation has triumphed, endured, and blossomed. Without this, our forbearance of past reasoning becomes unconventional to us.

Although it is unoffensive to me, I do not speak for the uniformity of social facets, nor the continuous reign of certain liberties, nor do I attempt to advocate patriotism, but I speak for the deference of our history, by which men and women gave themselves willingly in belief that the roots of the constitution may prove to be unwavering against the newness of eventual ideology. It was the soldiers of yesterday that bridged us from enslavement to liberation. To diminish any planes’ significance, or to deduce the integrity, or intention, of any law or religion, is to rewrite their sacrifice as one given in vain.

There is a reprehensible call for absolute freedom that is in discord with order. As we can not see that which made America the land of opportunity if we do not consider it’s origin. If we only see the latter then we fail to resist our yearning of furtherance from the past. Indeed, civil progression and modernized invention can provide betterment, but we must not forget the principles that got us here. Those same principles that made America great and true.

For there is a certain freedom that exist without the eradication of roots – there is a certain liberty, I have seen, in this world we call New.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
