Americans have a history of being inspired by their own society, and the people around them.
There is nothing unique about Mr. Weeks’ class—it is just another one to go through. Before class begins, I’m chatting with my buddies when Mr. Weeks says, “Okay, y’all,” which is his trademark greeting. It’s time to pay attention. We are going to work on a new project, so he tells everyone to form groups. We are going to develop a self-driving Power Wheels automobile, he claims. We built it from the ground up. Though I have numerous ideas, I have no idea how to execute this. The inventiveness exhibited in all the possible paths for the project is astounding. The other members of my group are not quite sure what to do, but I have a lot of suggestions. I’m motivated and think I could accomplish a lot with this project.
People around them serve as inspiration for Americans to achieve great things. They get a lot of inspiration from other people and institutions, as well as from other citizens. The history of our country is a wonderful source of support for this. The government launched a significant propaganda operation during World War 2. For the first time in a long time, Americans felt motivated and confident that they could make a difference and support their nation in its battle for important causes. They considered it to be their moral duty. Everything was in favor of the war effort, urging people to enlist in the army or to save supplies for the soldiers. Extreme nationalism led people to support what they saw as a very noble cause. Prior to the war and all the propaganda, the country was experiencing economic stagnation and nothing great was happening. Once the propaganda began, production increased tenfold. Millions of Americans served in the military, gathered supplies for the troops, and worked in factories producing weapons for the military. It was an incredibly inspiring period in the history of the country and helped us accomplish a lot of great things. However, we have also had a lot of not so great things as well. The recent school shootings across the nation are heartbreaking, and many of the children who had to witness these events are fed up with this country and its policies.
As I mentioned in the opening, I was motivated to create a fantastic project in Mr. Weeks’ class. My goal was to create the greatest self-driving toy automobile the world has ever seen. I put in a lot of effort, working both before and throughout lunch. We were obviously in front of the other students in the class by the middle of the assignment. We were working on a fantastic project. Mr. Weeks was amazed as well. I really like the lesson because of that project. I was motivated by it to get a computer kit and begin creating entertaining projects at home. My interest in computers was greatly sparked by it, and the knowledge I gained from the project will be useful to me going forward. With certainty, I can state that the project will affect the outcome of my life
Americans, throughout history, have done great things because of how they’ve been inspired. Whether it be the government bringing people together, and inspiring everyone to help the nation; or be of their own free will, protesting for what they think is right, or learning their life goals from their instructor. It comes down to Americans being inspired by their fellow Americans.
