U.S. PRIDE

the olympics.. so many talented athletes. and i think events like this make me realize how glad i am to be a us citizen. no matter how many economy problems our country has; how much controversy the world makes about our country ... the united states will always be the best country in the world. we have all our freedom. all we have to do is work for what we want. things can't just be granted to us. my visit the philippines definitely made me realize how lucky i am. over there.. it's chaos. nearly everything is dirty, unorganized, or in chaos. but you know what? the people there in the philippines still are happy people.. even with the little they have. and look at us. with our fancy houses and cars, our technology.. we just complain. why take so much for granted? at the philippines.. i couldn't even take a HOT shower. it was so complicated. this summer was definitely eye-opening.. full of adventure. sucks that it's ending soon. i really wish it was a little longer.
