              There’s nothing a person needs in this life more than to be free. Being free is what everyone wants, being able to be heard , to be able to follow your dreams and have your own beliefs. As a young African girl I believe that I have that right to choose who I want to be . I also believe that I can make my own decisions. But wait, is it possible? It is possible if I have freedom.

        I remember when I was in Africa ,seeing parents forcing their daughters to get married when they didn’t want too. One of the girls said “no’ and her parents told her “We are your parents and you have to do what we asked you to do. The girl choose to respect her parents instead of standing up for herself.

         Her parents asked he “What do you think our neighbors would think about you saying no?.

        I believe that many people are afraid to follow their dreams because they are afraid of what people will think about them. Based on religion, many people think that their religion is the right way and want to force others to believe in their beliefs ,but they don’t realize that everyone has the right to choose what to believe in .

          And there are people who want to make others believe their culture, thinking that it is the right one. For example in some cultures people think that girls shouldn’t be playing sports and others believe that is nothing wrong with it .The one who believes that girls shouldn’t be playing sports may try to force the girls to believe in what they think is right ,there by making them do what the girls  don’t want to do , they are taking away the girls happiness and freedom.

                        There are many types of freedom. Freedom is a Fundamental part of life that everyone needs to be able to have .I believe that people should be able to live in their hometown or home country without having  to move to others countries because of safety and freedom. Without freedom there’s no peace. Many           countries have peace because they have freedom. Is hard to succeed in life without have freedom. So I believe that people need to live without being judged. You can’t be able to do what you want when you don’t have freedom. I believe that a girl needs to be free in every way and not be judged by her gander.

              

   I believe that  people need to stand up and speak up for them self  because the day you don’t speak  up for the thing that matters to for is the day your freedom truly ends.

           

   I also believe that  freedom is the oxygen of the soul ,If it is then every human being shouldn’t be living without it , just like how we can’t live without the oxygen .

    

   Is not worth having freedom if it does not include the freedom to make mistakes , so it’s okay to make mistakes in life, because freedom is nothing but a chance to be better  and freedom requires that you discover your own inner language, your own life rules, and your own vision, being able to know your mistakes and learning from it, but when you don’t have freedom the society won’t let you see where your mistakes are, all they would  do is to judge you and punish you.

     So I believe that the secret to happiness  is freedom
