Freedom To Me
by Kairon

Freedom to me means being able to make choices and decisions, and having the ability to learn from your mistakes. Freedom feels like laughing and hanging out with friends and family, going out of town or the country, going to a museum, playing basketball or working out. No, I don’t feel like we have freedom because, in the society we live in today, we are not able to have freedom of speech. People’s words and actions, no matter the age or race, can have their words twisted around, which can lead to something we can’t fix. I feel the most free when I am with my friends and family and helping people out any way I can, even if it’s giving a dollar to someone in need. What I need to be free is equality in the world, and for people to respect one another. We need a better place for everyone and not just one race of people.
