Ain't gonna tie me down

Ain’t gonna tie me down

I know many people have goals that they would like to achieve. There are things in our world today that can tie any person down and stop them from doing what they want to accomplish in life. We have things like drugs, alcohol, pills, violence, gangs and more. Those are the main things that stop a person from achieving their goal.

In the future I want to become a nurse. I have decided that I will let nothing tie me down from reaching my goals in life. Everyday life is a struggle, but I can do it. We all can make it through. One of the first things that come to my mind when I think of the words ain’t gonna tie me down is --why do we even let people or things tie us down? I am going to achieve my goal by not letting people or things get to me. I will do the best to my ability to try as hard as I can do to reach my goal. My goal all together is important to me. We really just need to make something out of life and work hard for what we believe in.

I, too, have a dream…

My dream in life to me is amazing. I want to be a nurse. Everybody has their own dream and my dream is to make something special of my life. I want many different things but only one special dream. Many people walk around with their heads down low, when deep down inside they have a dream just like the rest of us. Dreams are made for everyone. To me it is a gift. My dream, my one special dream is to not fail at what I believe in. Having a dream is something everybody has whether they realize it or not. Having a dream that you want to do, receive, or have in life is a gift everyone can have.

The Right To Choose

I, as a student, should have the right to choose whether I want to go to school or not to go to school without getting in trouble for truancy. That should be my right to make that decision without consequences for my decisions. I am writing about this because in the long run it will either affect me in a bad way or a good way.

If I choose not to go to school then it’s more than likely going to affect me in a bad way. It will affect my future, for it might be harder to get a job, pay bills, or live an easier life. If I choose to go to school then I am going to have an easier, more successful future than I would if I had chosen not to go to school. That is a right I think I should have as a student.

Freedom of Speech

Our country is blessed with many different rights. The most important one to me is our freedom of speech. To me, that is the most important because it’s good to hear and know what other people think and feel. It is important to and for everyone to say what you think and believe in everyone has there own opinion. I as a citizen have the right to speak my mind. The purpose of this right is not to put someone down or to hurt their feelings but to express yourself and your rights in a positive and appropriate way --without being offensive, hurtful, or bringing someone down. That’s not the way we as citizens should represent our right to freedom of speech.
