AUTHOR’S NOTE: Are you brave? Would you take the chance of life and risk it for your country? I don’t think I would be able to. Giving up your friends, family, job, school and more to go fight for your country. I am very proud of my country, the brave soldiers that fight for me and my freedom. I couldn’t ask for more.
Freedom comes only once in a lifetime if you don’t take you will never get it. Every day soldiers got out of their way to save another soul living in the US. Some people don’t realize that we are lucky that someone is out there fighting and risking their life for someone different every day. Imagine living away from your friends, family, and everything apart of you. Other countries don’t have freedom. Without our brave soldiers would we have freedom? Would we be able to do anything we want? Life would be different, but no one knows how different it would be. I am very proud of my freedom, the soldiers that fight for it, and the country they are fighting for. My country; my home; The USA.
I am very proud to live in the USA, because many countries around the world still have slaves and no freedom. They are still being beaten, barley eating, and is separated from their families. Many citizens still don’t have the right vote in their own country. The US used to have slavery but in 1833 Abraham Lincoln abolished slavery. Everyone had the same rights and the same reasons to live or die. There was no such thing as slavery. Along with Freedom the USA has many things like Education in their country.
Slavery is not the only thing America has different compared to other countries. We have good education. Students must go to school until the age of 18 and some other countries don’t even have education and if they do at all it is a very low and a little amount of students. Also we are lucky to have electricity food, water, and a home to live in. The nice warm showers we take while people can only shower once a week. And the water and food we waste. There are starving children and families around the world that just one little piece of food can last for days. People need to realize how lucky we are.
Having freedom, education, electricity, water, food, and a home is a big privilege I am very proud of my country. Every time you are ungrateful you are remember the other families and kids in other countries that don’t have anything close to what you have, and how proud you are of your country.

Wade leads World Championship Team
Author's Note: Are you a leader or a follower? Dwyane Wade is a leader on the basketball court. He is a team player and wants his team to get better. Dwyane lead his team to victory in the 2010 FIBA World Championship.
The Men’s USA Basketball Team has been in the FIBA World Championship since it first started in 1950 all the way until the latest Championship in 2010 in Turkey. They have never placed lower than 3rd in the Tournament. The 2010 USA Team, led by Dwyane Wade, was arguably one of the best teams to play in the World Championship games.
The 2010 Men’s basketball team went across the ocean to Turkey without a gold medal and came home with one after winning the 2010 FIBA World Championship Final, the USA beat host nation Turkey by 17 points. The USA team went 4-0 during the FIBA World Championship. Their first game was against Angola. They blew them out and won 121-66. Their second game was against Russia and won 89 to 79. In the third game, they played Lithuania and won 89-74. They were in the championship game against Turkey and won 81-64. Dwyane Wade was the leading scorer and the best player on the court. When they got home, people yelled and cheered for them to congratulate the USA players for their gold medal victory.
Dwyane Wade averaged 16 points per game. He was the best player on the court. No one could stop him. In the National Basketball Association, he plays for the Miami Heat. You might think that 6’4” is tall, but not in the NBA, because Dwyane is a point guard. He is a very big threat when he has the basketball. He can dribble, shoot, score, play defense and more. Dwyane may be the best player on the court, but it is all about team work.
Basketball creates teamwork and passion for the game. The USA team had a lot of teamwork winning the 2010 Championship. The United States plays together because they have won many FIBA World Championships. They won in 1950, when it first started. They also won in 1954, 1959, 1974, 1982, 1986, 1994, 1998, and 2006 before winning the latest FIBA World Championship in 2010.
Considering the number of great USA World Championship basketball teams, the 2010 USA World Championship team led by Dwyane Wade will be considered one of the greatest teams. When Wade and the 2010 team are compared to other USA championship teams, they should most definitely be considered as one of the best teams in history.
