A ten year old made this wise statement; "A good citizen is a person that's proud he's what he is. He knows he's got something that helps him be better than if he never had it Citizenship makes it so he has rights, but he has to keep on working to make sure they'll stay and get better. He has to work with other people who want rights like most peo ple want them. He likes to live in this country. He likes to live in the world too." Our country is strong and great because our citizens make it so. By supporting Youth or ganization which emphasize gooa citizenship, we are helping guar antee, that the deep seated great ness of our country will continue As the ten year old said, we have to keep working, there is no letting up or resting on. the oars.
