Stay involved and be committed to freedom

As I read the New York Times and other newspapers I am reminded how important it is to stay involved and up to date on current events. It is very easy to relax and stay in a tight bubble and assume that the world is a happy place and that nothing affects us. This is where we are wrong. We can learn and contribute so much by staying involved. The simple act of tweeting and blogging interconnects us as a nation and allows us to easily voice our opinions to the public.

Yesterday was the tenth year anniversary of 9/11. That day, ten years ago, united Americans. Are we still as united as we were ten years ago? The terrible event happened that much we cannot change. But we can change how it has affected us as Americans, and who we are as people. We must stay unified dedicated to freedom. And more importantly, we need to stay dedicated to the one being who has made this nation flourish—God. If we allow ourselves to forget God and what He has done for us, we will cease to prosper. We should have been awakened from the events of 9/11 and realized that we cannot succeed on our own. America was founded upon grand ideals and principles. These same ideals and principles must continue to sustain our daily lives as we strive everyday to become better people, committed, little by little, to make this nation great.
