What Do Americans Take for Granted?

After asking three Frostburg State University students what they think Americans take for granted, I received several responses. All three senior students each had unique answers, but they all agreed with one another.

Nikki Dascal, a local who is a Biochemistry Major, believes we take the Earth for granted. She says, "We destroy the earth... I could go on forever, I think we take how clean everything here in America is for granted. Everything is so sanitary, and not everything around us is so disgusting like it is in some other countries."

Erin Wheeler, of Southern Maryland who is a Music Major, simply states that "Americans take Freedom for Granted."

Jessie Ragland, also from Southern Maryland replies, "Money." She believes that most Americans don't realize how well off they actually are compared to most people in the world. Jessie is a Liberal Arts Major.

Of course there are many more things in this world that Americans are taking for granted such as running water, or electricity but atleast there are several things that Frostburg State University students have taken the time to think about and appreciate. Americans don't realize how much we actually should be grateful for and are lucky to have which is unfortunate.
