-Michelle Obama
As the first lady said “America should
be a place where you can make it if
you try.” I believe that in a lot of ways
America is a place where you can
make it. This country provides more
opportunities than any othor country
in the world. Every day hundreds of
immigrants come to this country to
persue their dreams, some succeed,
and some do not.
I know thousands of Armenian immigrants that
came to America not just for a better life but they came
because they were running for there lives. Among those
was a young man who came to America as an orphan
with nothing. By the end of his life he was a world
famous artist. His name is Arshil Gorki. You can see his
works at the Modern Art Museum and National Gallery
of Art.
So I believe that you can most definitely make it in
this country. It is up to you to decide if you want it or not.
