  1. To be free means you can say what you want, do as you please. In my opinion I think that being able to be free is having the ability to live your life, speak your mind and have rights...as long as the laws are followed. Freedom is a privilege and everyone has a fair chance at it. Having your own personal freedom is worth it. Don't give it up unless your life depends on it. Live your life and appreciate your freedom,and the opprotunities that come along with it.

  3. To me having "Freedom" it's that you have the right to do things the way you want to and said what you actually feel. I think that liberty its the reason why people live the way they want to and take adventage of live to be someone better in the future.
    Yes, I think that freedom it's worth it, because without freedom you will probably not be who you are right now. ^_^

  4. Freedom to me means that i can do anything and everything.I can actully live my life and have freedom of speech.I believe freedom is worth it,because our realtives die for our freedom after the Native Americans try to keep us all African Americans slaves. I thank god for my freedom and i will not give it up for anything in the world.

  5. To be free means to me, make your own choices not letting anyone tell you what to do, you can do anything you desire. Freedom to me means to have rights. The sacrifices you would probaly make is getting in trouble with the law. The sacrifices im willing to make is anything. I say this because freedom is important and if we cant get it then we have to fight for it. To have no freedom make you not wanna live because you have no life and freedom is your life. Its Worth It!

  6. What free means to me is to do anything you want to do in life. Freedom to me is not being control by someone and doing things you dream about.The sacrifice that I will is community service. Yes I think freedom is worth it because if we didnt some of use will be slaves right now. If we didnt have freedom then black kids couldnt go to school and get education.

  7. To be free means you have freedom over your actions , religion , speech , voting & desicions you make . Freedom to me means you can say what you want . Do certian things you want , but there are still rules and laws . You can practice your religion of choice , and make the decisions you want , as long as there not againt the law cause you will have consequences . Being as though I live in a free country I dont have to make any sacraficies . But freedom is definatly worth it ' its probally the best thing the nation has done thus far !

  10. What freedom means to me is to live your life with no bounderies. I say this because being free is being able to do what you like or live how you want. Also being able to say what you want at all times. Freedom to me is to say whats on your mind instead of holding stuff in. In conclusion this is what freedom means to me. Marcia Mcleod 2A

  11. To be free means to me is, being able to do anything I want to do without hurting anyone else. To have the power to determine action without restraint. As long as im not violating anybody with the actions that I do, I should be able to do anything I want. That is my thoughtful thinking of the definition freedom. Taj Estep 2A

  12. Hmm. What is freedom. Freedom is smiling at kevin harts jokes without fear of persecution. Its complaining about how low your social security check is. Freedom is the promise that what you do or say matters. Its a narrow road, be it towards greatness, or towards destruction. Freedom provides oppurtunity, for the strong, the proud, the brave. Freedom is...America. Onyemachi Azubuko at kevin harts jokes without fear of persecution. Its complaining about how low your social security check is.
