PATRIOTISM

Patriotism is something that is very important. Patriotism is having love and loyalty to your country. There are many people who show patriotism for our country, like not doing bad things like crimes, but instead doing good things like helping others and their community.

Many people show patriotism in different ways. One way that people prove that they are patriots are by not doing any crimes. Another thing someone could do to be a patriot is be involved in your community, either volunteering or helping out with something. There are many good things that someone could do to for the community and that also benefits their country. Whether you are doing a lot of things for your country or you just making smart choices you could still be a patriot. Do you think you are a patriot?

What does patriotism mean to you? Well, to me it means doing good things for your country and making good choices with your life. John F. Kennedy once said “And so, my fellow Americans, ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country.” Many people think that patriotism means many different things to every person. Even though there are many different opinions on what patriotism means they all essentially have to do with the same thing. Doing good things for your country, making smart choices and loving your home place.

By showing your patriotism you can make this country a better place. When you do good things, people see you doing greatness then they will follow your example. Like when children watch their parents and siblings. Everyone can show their patriotism whether you think you can or not. The simplest thing you could do is wear red, white, and blue on the Fourth of July. Show your patriotism, it will make the world a better place!
