The United States is a country that never stops moving, a country that never stops growing. A country where all citizens are free to be who they want in the fast-growing economy. To me being an American is living your life in constant growth, never settling for the simple and easy life if you have a bigger dream. So with me being an American coming from a very small community I've seen many just go the easy route of getting a plant job and working pay-check to pay-check. Seeing this at a young age I knew I wanted something different, so freshman year of High School I signed up for Automotive Technology. I finished my two-year hands-on experience in that class but stopping there wasn't good enough for me. So I starting looking into trade schools for welding, then I started looking into trade schools with underwater welding. The next two years of High School I brainstormed how I wanted to live my life and the answer was to keep growing. Now that I'm graduating I can finally say I know how I want to grow, I want to attend a Community College that provides classes for students with goals of entrepreneurship and financial wealth building. Next in life, I want to find a job that will provide for me as I save money for my dream business. And when that day comes I want to purchase land to build an indoor cannabis and hemp farm to provide for the fast-growing agricultural world. Once this Business takes off I know I can't just stop there, So I want to put multiple small businesses to provide jobs in my community to lead by example to all the children who are growing just like me. Taking a different approach in life and constantly growing for the better for your future to me is being American.
