Seeing the greatest country in the world start to decay before my very eye. The dream I had of immigrating over to the US and starting a new life full of opportunity and becoming successful through our own blood and sweat. All I see is the opposite as I went through the public school system. I see teaching methods that make us retarded and lack common sense. I see generations who utilize a program that was initiated for those truly in need as a free ticket to live off the hard work of others. They in turn teach their kids and promote another generation of lazy, incompetent people who feels that it is the rest of society obligation to care for them. That it is the government responsibility to care for them. Benjamin Franklin wrote that " the worst thing any government could do is to give its people free money, because then later generations will feel they are entitle to more money" I feel that if you want to succeed and be the best you can be then please use the feet, the hands, the brain that was given to you and make it happen. We all are born with the same tools some maybe more then others but at the end of the day it is our will and the motivation to be the best that separates us. We have lost that, people don't try anymore. I keep hoping everyday that things will change and future generations will began to realize how far we have stray from the path that our fore fathers have paved for us. The path that has lead us to become the greatest and most revered nation on earth, The United States Of America. The land of the free, the land of diversity, the land fill with people who are willing and able to overcome any hardship in order to succeed in life. To live the American dream of providing for your family, teaching them good moral values and above to all contribute as a whole to great nation so that future generation will prosper as we did. That is the America I want but it is not be. So once I hit 20 year mark in the military I will part ways with America and return to my native country of Thailand. Let this country and its people deal with its own problem. I just want my beer, my hammock, and my own little house next to a lake. A world of my own.
