This is who we are: Americans

By: Gabriela Yareliz

We are a bit crazy, a bit conceited, a bit privileged, a bit super-sized, a bit obsessive, a bit judgmental, a bit hard-headed, a bit hopeful, a bit funny, a bit ignorant, but we are certainly unique and known around the world (whether it be for good or bad)…

We are proud and arrogant;

We make commentators journalists;

We like denim;
We are preppy;



We like things big;
Super big;

We eat whatever tastes good;

We are loud;
We are punctual;

We have certain people we love to watch;

We like to look good and do YouTube tutorials;



We take High School very seriously;
We make the English language evolve;

We say “I am sorry” too much;



We make expressions the world adopts;

We are judgmental and seldom accurate;

We like musicals;

We are into violent things;

We are individualists;
We can’t be alone with ourselves;

We love labels;
We stereotype unforgivingly;


We ride trucks through mud;



We are dramatic;

We are regionally oriented;
We like tans;

And drink enough coffee to cover for the rest of the world;
We are obsessed with youth;

We are strangely political;
We love Disney;

We are hood;

We are classy;

We are crazy;

We believe in reaching new heights;

We love music;

We go to camp in the summer;

We love technology;

This Fourth of July, live it American style 😉 Unity in diversity.
We are citizens of a country where anything is possible.
