All American Girl



So my whole life I've always listened to people talk about where they're from, what their heritage is,... And I've always been kind of jealous. 3 of my sisters are from Costa Rica, a lot of my friends are Italian or Irish, And being of those heritages is exciting and fun because, my sisters are hot Latin women, then there is the feisty Italian girls, or the cool/fun Irish girls(Kiss them, They're Irish) Well The truth is I lived in Ecuador till I was 3 but I hardly remember anything, just a few moments here and there. And my heritage is mostly German and I get a lot of crap for that because of the Hitler situation, you know? I've always felt kinda lame and didn't really feel like I could take a lot of pride in stuff like that. Then I started dating my boyfriend (we've been dating for over a year) He's in the National Guard and I'm so proud of him:) I realized that no matter where my ancestors are from I am an all American girl. I listen to whatever music I want to listen to, I dance for no reason, I can pretty much say what I want, when I want. I love to hunt, fish, 4-wheel, camp, and kiss the love of my life. I'm free to choose what religion I want to be in, I can plead the 5Th and I have the right to bare arms. I'm free to have my job as a bartender and drive my car anywhere. I'm free,.....I AM FREE. Isn't it amazing to live in this country? Yeah I know our government can seem a little screwed up at times and people can be mean and racist but our government was based on something good and this who country was made by immigrants and people of different cultures, hence the term (melting pot of the world). I'm just really happy to be living here and proud to say that I am an All American Girl!!!
