What I'm Thankful For

My son, M9 brought home an essay. I think it's pretty impressive.

I am thankful to live in a free country. I'm thankful to be an American which means I have freedom of speech, which means I have the right to say whatever I want. I can agree with things, and I could disagree with things. I could go on strike. I could not go on strike.

I'm thankful to be free from slavery. I won't get hit with a whip. I won't have to work for others.

I'm free from kings and queens. No more judgement. I don't have to do anything a king or queen says. I don't have to obey king's or queen's rules. I don't have to serve king's or queen's needs.

I have the right to go to the church I want to go to. I have the right to go to church on Monday, Tuesday, Wendesday, Thursday, Friday and Satruday when it's supposed to be on Sunday. I have the right to pray when I'm not in church. I have the right to pray however, wherever, whenever. I have the right to pray more than one time.

I think he gets it.
