Founding America

Founding America

I walk through the cool, semi-dark library.  As I run my fingers over the dusty wooden shelves, I notice the names on the spines of the books.  Abraham Lincoln, Niel Armstrong, Martin Luther King, Jr.  What did all these men have in common?  They had courage.  They had determination.  They had hope.  With these three things, they became American heroes.  They made the dreams of our people come true.  These are the things that our founding fathers needed to make our dreams reality and build America. 

I would tell the founding fathers to have courage.  This would help them to not be afraid and to persevere for our country.  Courage would help them to be brave and do the right thing.  With courage, they would learn to stand by their choices.  They would learn to believe in themselves.  Our founding fathers needed courage. 

 

I would tell the founding fathers to have determination.  Determination helped them work through the road blocks and achieve great things.  If they were determined, they could find new solutions and build a better country.  Our founding fathers needed determination. 

I would tell the founding fathers to have hope.  They needed  hope to guide them, to work to establish our country.  A country where all men were considered equal and you had the chance to grow and be your own person.  They needed hope to be that ever-optimistic voice telling them that nothing is impossible.  Our founding fathers needed hope.  

With these few things, our founding fathers could establish a great country.  They would learn to be more than just the average person.  They would be able to achieve great things.  They would be the best that they can be.  Our founding fathers paved the way for other great inspirations and heroes, and believed in the dream of our great country.  With courage, determination and hope they have made this far off dream become a reality.
