The headline reports the latest White House scandal, while the local news showcases articles on the new mayor's performance. Some say he's wasting municipal resources on lesser projects, others debate the contrary. You crumple the newspaper and throw it away, bored. None of that sounds important, right?

Freedom is important to me for many reasons. It makes all people equal. We are lucky to live in a country where all races and religions are accepted. I have the power to better the society. I have the power to make a difference in the world. It is also important to me because it give me the freedom of speech so if I disagree with something, I can speak up. I believe that anyone can make a difference starting off with something small but ending up changing the world. I am grateful we live in a world that's free!
