​ ​​​ Have you been to 8 states in the last 10 years???. Well I have!. In a result of traveling many miles I'm thankful for the 50 states.

My first reason why is because they provide memories for all. For example when I went down to Texas for my Great Grandpa's last prisoner of war convention I remembered going to SeaWorld. Then not long after I traveled across Iowa,Missouri,and into Illinois and I remembered seeing Mark Twain's house in Hannibal.

My second reason why is because they're open to the public. One example of this is going to Keystone,South Dakota and seeing Mount Rushmore. I remembered seeing my mom cry when she saw Mount Rushmore. Many questions ran through my head like, ''How long did it take to build that??? and Wow that's magnifacent.

My last reason why is because they help people understand about America. People from another country might not know what America could have in store for them,but when or if they come they could learn a great deal about our country.

I'll always remember that the 50 states was always there for me, and others.That is why I'm thankful for the 50 states.
