July the Fourth

Fireworks.
How the tradition of fireworks got started I may never know. As I lay looking straight up into the night sky at the synchronized choreography displayed through sparkling lights I thanked the Chinese for their invention. I was then strangely proud to be an American because fireworks are awesome. They take you to the edge as balls of flame whiz about and you swear that one was headed straight at you. They leave a ringing in your ears, one of patriotism and hearing loss that will show up later.
I am proud to be an American. Because of America people can dream and seek opportunities. Life is not easy but it is worth it.
