Tell me what you think and help me fix it, or re-write it a bit to sound better.
Why am I proud to be an American? There are many answers to this question but I choose to tell you about three of them. I have freedom, a high-school education, and the right to vote.
I have the freedom of speech. I can say what I want to say and how I feel about certain topics. My freedom of religeon lets me choose my own religeon based on what I believe. I don't nesisscarily have to have a religeon or even keep the same one. There is also no slavery happening around me. My mom and dad are the only people that own me nor can I be bought or sold.
I also have an education . I have to be schooled until I'm 16, then it is my choice to go to school or not. No one can take that away from me. It's free for me to go to school preschool through 12th grade. I don't have to quit college after one or two years, I can go for as long as I want. School is a very importanat part of America.

Here is the ending to it:
Voteing is a very important topic and I get to vote when I am older. It doesn't matter that I am a girl or a boy, I can still vote. You can vote to take out the government and put a different one in. I could even vote for a new president! Voteing can change how you live your life!
Being in America is something to be proud of. You have so many more oppertunites. Living here in America is a privelege, not a right!

Why am I proud to be an American? There are many answers to this question, but there are three important ones. I have freedom, free education, and the right to vote.
I have the freedom of speech. I can say what I want and express how I feel about certain topics. My freedom of religion lets me choose my religion based on what I believe. I am not forced to answer to anyone. My parents are the only people who own me and I cannot I be bought or sold.
I also have an education . I have to be schooled until I am sixteen, then it is my choice to continue or not. No one can take that away from me. Beginning with preschool and ending with grade twelve, my education is free. Education is a very important part of America.
You need a paragraph about the right to vote and then a concluding paragraph.

Why am I proud to be an American?
There are many answers to this question, nevertheless I choose to tell you about three of them. I have freedom, a high-school education, and the right to vote.
As far as freedom, I treasure my freedom of speech. I can say what I want to say, and I can say how I feel about certain topics.
Also I treasure my freedom of religion. America's freedoms allow me to choose my own religious faith. Or choose no religous faith meaning I am not required to have a religion or stay with the same one.
American freedom also means I'm a slave to no one. Under the American constitution it states "All men (women) are created equal." Yet, I'm not sure if my mom and dad would agree 100%. Still, however, I can't be bought or sold.
Besides freedom, America also offers me an education. This I will take full advantage of, since freedom and education are so closely related. Although, I have to go to school until I'm 16, afterward, I will stay in school to not only pursue my education, also my freedom.
This type of freedom no one can take that away from me. For me, it's free to go to school from pre-school through 12th grade.
Afterward, I am free to puruse my education I don't have to stop after high school, I could continue to college. I can go as far as my educational dreams. That is why school is a very importanat part of America and America's freedom.
As far as freedom and voting, both are very important to the meaning of being an American. When I am older. I will vote. Regardless who I am as long as I am an American citizen, I can vote when I am of age.
Like freedom and education, voting is powerful. One day, I might be able to vote out a branch of government and put a new branch in. I could even vote for a new president! Voting can change how you live your life!
Being in America is something to be proud of. You have so many more opporrtunites here than elsewhere, not only freedom, education, and voting but so many other parts of life. All of these wonderful opportunities makes living here in America a very special privilege.

Why am I proud to be an American? There are three reasons that stand out as most important to me.
I have freedom of speech. As an American, I am able to speak my mind on anything I care to discuss. As long as it doesn’t cause a panic (like yelling “Fire!” in a crowded movie theater), I can stand up on a soap box and spout off. This is a wonderful freedom, because in much of the world if you say what you really think you will be taken to jail or even killed.
I have freedom of religion. I have the right to choose or not choose any form of religion I like. I can even start a new religion. Most places in the world have religious persecution, which means they can be jailed or killed for believing anything other than what the state tells them to believe.
I have the right to an education and all the benefits that come from being educated. I can continue that education for as long as I desire to do so. Education provides the springboard to anything else I care to do or be.
There are many other freedoms we enjoy in the United States, but these three have impacted my life in a big way and I am really glad I live in America.

My Little Pinky I do not insult you about your spelling because the education in north America are the worse in the world.I'm and European my school was grade 5 and never went to school to learn English but after 40 years living in Canada I was and still teaching myself English as my second language.Now regarding to be proud or not every one in the world are proud for their roots but in most the Communist middle east country and even in Central America the government have to much power so no opposition Parry allowed.But do not say that you are America proud and others not. And why all the America population allow the government to invade other country where women and children getting killed for no reason always the innocent people pays the price.Good luck and be proud.

You start with the statement that you have
freedom , high school education & right to vote
BUT you talk about
Freedom of speech , religion and education . . .
Either drop vote up top & add religion or
talk about voting (although you can't vote yet)
Also suggest you use spell check as there are a couple of errors.
Otherwise, not bad.

To be honest I liked the way you on topic about "Why you are proud to be an American". Make sure that while writing you stay focused, it will maintain your ability of staying on track. Note: edit your work before turning in, so that you wouldn't be taken off any points due to spelling errors.

I gently suggest spell checker.
Also, a standard essay form is to have your main point with your "support statements" in the first paragraph. Then, in your next 2-3 paragraphs, give proofs for each point.
Then, summarize how you have proven your point in the last paragraph.

okay. first of all i suggest using spell check. i don't know if you were in a hurry or what, but you definitely need to fix a lot of spelling errors/typos.
And connect things a little bit better. It's very choppy.
