This doesn't really have any relavence to things going on right now it's just something i've been thinking about lately. How lucky we are to be American citizens; we have freedom of religion to be activley Religious or not; we can choose as people whether we want to attend college or not, where we go to school, what classes we take; and the topic that has been weighing heavily on my mind, having the freedom to choose or change a major in school.
I think about all the countries that make all the choices for the people and they have no choice but to go to that certain school, be a certain religion, even choosing a major in school or a career is taken away from people in the world. What must that be like? I can't imagine being forced to be a Mathmatician or a nurse; neither of which i am remotely interested in doing. I would hate life if i had to do either one of those things. How much of a persons beliefs and personality are taken away by not having those freedoms?
I am so grateful that i do live in America, where i have gone to 2 colleges, and been able to choose what i want to do with my life. How much do we take that for granted?
