Page 20 TESTVÉRISÉG worry about being a slave or being owned by anyone because I'm a free person. I have the choice to take part in any group or activity I want to be in or participate in. As a kid I can play and have fun besides working all day. I can express my feelings or write down things about anything without being thrown in jail. I feel safe because if I get in trouble with the law or have to go to court, I have the right to an attorney. I like our country because I am not the only person who has all these freedoms. Every American has equal rights.
