Great Depression... Great Nation... Great People.

Well, well, well... The Great depression. That`s an intense topic to talk about, but here, I am not going to talk about how it was horrible and many families and dreams were fell apart. No. I am going to talk about hope and patriotism.

When I first went to the National Constitution Center I was with my host family, and inspired by the mini White House, we were discussing [or trying to] about Obama, the political system and the economic system. And then, I came up with the question "but, if something like the Great Depression had happened again, what would you have done?!" and one of the girls answered me "we rebuild, like we always did". End of discussion.

Then I saw how people truly believe that no matter what happens, America will overcome the obstacles. And learning about The Great Depression and what americans went through in the 1930s only replenished my faith in people and made me believe that nothing is impossible when we have a cause.
