As students of the University of Louisville, McConnell Scholars, and members of numerous other organizations, we spend our week taking care of business and school work. Every chance I get I step away from the seriousness that has become the life of an average college student to appreciate the little things. What do I appreciate today? America.
I spent the fall semester in studying in London. My time in Europe was unquestionably the best three months of my life. I had the opportunity to visit multiple European countries and see hundreds of amazing sites; more importantly, I have an infinite amount of stories to tell my hypothetical grandchildren (yeah, I’m going to be that Granddad). While I am sure that I could give you a detailed outline of how to navigate London nightlife too, I learned a much more important lesson: I love America.
Are there despicable aspects of America? Of course, but that is what makes it the ‘Merica that we all love. I don’t think it is possible to list all of the things I love about America, but in honor of Interview Weekend, I will name 5!
- American Universities teach you how to think, not what to think (take my word for it).
- I do not spend 40 BPS per week taking the tube, and I get to drive my own car.
- There is not some random guy sitting in a room watching me on the CCTV cameras that are on literally every block in London.
- The Central Intelligence Agency (what is not to love about these people?).
- I appreciate that I am able to blog, and you are able to read it. That is not the case in a lot of places.
