I am thankful for the right to vote. Voting allows me to express my opinions and support my ideal government. I celebrated my eighteenth birthday only a few months ago and have not yet expressed this right, but I look forward to making my contribution toward the next leader of America. I have not yet decided which political party best shares my beliefs, but I am still on the search.
I often have a very complicated view of government and may take my rights for granted sometimes, but every now and then I realize how lucky I am. Many people live in countries where they have little or no say over their own lives. America's economy may be in bad shape, but I still have many rights that others do not. I may own a gun if I choose. I have the right to worship god as I see fit. I can express my opinions publicly. I have a bad habit of loosing track of all the good things I have and focusing only on the bad.
