Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: Michael Harrison, Mansfield High School An American loves America!!! This is the place where fear, anger, hatred, sorrow, disbelief, courage, etc... comes from. It is a place no one knows better than yourself. The one place you turn to to make the right and wrong decisions of your life. It is none other than your heart! There is no other part of the body that can express and surpass so many obstacles. It is the part of the body that can destroy you, and at the same time, make you stronger than you've ever been. It tells you the difference between good and evil, right and wrong, love and hatred and by experiencing these courses, they make you who you are. No matter how you may choose to dress, look, feel, speak, listen, even if you have the worst attitude anyone has ever seen,.. an American loves America! The one place where millions of people dedicated their lives to helping those who could not, and to die for the innocent, those are called Americans. People who strive to put an end to all corruption and bring peace to all, those are Americans! We all live in fear and chaos and somehow... together, we make it a place where many can live and be happy because, we love our country. There have been many attempts by others who tried to destroy us and split us apart from one another.. but, they were always and will always be unsuccessful, and they are the ones who continue to make us stronger (even though they haven't realized it yet). The true strength of The United States of America lies in the hearts of all of us! When we combine our strengths, we become so strong, that we become intertwined with one another so that we keep that strength! "That which does not destroy me, only makes me stronger!!", I believe every word of that,.. do you? If you don't, look at a family... see how much closer we are to one another, and at the same time,.... SHARE IT!! Share the love we have for each other and you will make yourself and many others stronger than before. We have been blessed by God, and it is this blessing that puts and spreads the evil in men's hearts. It angers them, but we don't care about their anger, we care about the innocence of others. I address this message to everyone,.. LET THE HATRED IN YOUR HEART GO, AND CHERISH THE MEMORIES IN YOUR HEART FOREVER! I have dedicated my life to helping the lives of others because, I love each and every person living on this very planet (good or evil) a person is a person and, a person has feelings and realizing this, I found out that anyone can change. Even if you doubt that, listen to this verse "Through with God, nothing shall be impossible!" God is good to us and he will always be. We are his children and we must treat each other with love because, we are all brothers and sisters in the eyes of him. I pray everyone will find and harness the love within them, and trust in God as well. Trust me, he will guide your hand and with him, nothing shall hurt you. With love for all, Michael.
