As I started to create the Preamble table it brought about my sense
of ownership to the United States. The images that I chose may be different from everyone else but these are the images that came to my mind. Each area of this means something different to me because of my ethnicity and my life experiences. One area that stands out to me is establish Justice, since my ancestors did not initially get the opportunity to enjoy this liberty I feel different. . By this I mean they (my ancestors) paved the way so that my children and I can experience this freedom of Justice. Even bringing it a little closer there are people today that still do not get to enjoy these liberties I know that our country is making steps daily to create equality for all as well as keeping us all safe no matter our ethnicity. Our government has the job of protecting the country and providing equal rights for all. I know that all people in this country no matter their race, or religious beliefs can enjoy the freedoms that I do. Needless to say that I am proud to be an American and since I have not had to experience it any other way I would not want to.
