Nebraska may be underappreciated, but we are OKAY, okay? We already have all of the citizens in the wealthier states on our backs about it, so we know, and are tired of hearing about it over and over. The thing is, I've noticed that others will always critique us because we are different. And those other states can just quit being stupid, selfish, materialistic bullies about it, because we aren't changing a THING about our HOME. We are teased about this all the time, it's nothing new. Those insults aren't special. We are tired of being pushed around for this, because the other states don't think we are living according to our new slogan NICE. Well, although we aren't bright, shiny objects that the other states think they are, we love this place. So, here are the facts. Not all of Nebraska is made of crops, and cows, and people here don't all speak in that steryotypical accent everyone else thinks we talk in. We also don't all dress like the farmhands some people hink we are. People only insult us because they want to see our hurt faces, because we are TRYING, okay. I am proud to be here, so I don't grow up the be a spoiled brat. Or a lazy person. Here, you learn from your mistakes, and work hard, harder than some of the other states think. Because, the real reason that things are lower priced here, is because we get payed less. But, we are expected to be hit with those hurtful words, I won't. I am going to type a heated response to this, because times are changing, and it is high time to prove to all of the haters, and self absorbed other children in America that say we are living a horrible life, because, we aren't. We are often very happy to work, and we work HARD. Much harder tha other states and other people think we do. I'm 13 years old, and I already know that. You will almost never meet nicer people than in Nebraska, we all pitch in for charity work, because we all know what it is like to live without. We all are pretty much accepting in this community because it is truely a melting pot of colors and cultures, not to mention feelings and ideas. Anyone who says different, has never been to Nebraska. We are happy when people critique us sometimes, because we know that "They're REALLY missing out". We have the BEST zoo in the world in the city of Omaha, which houses about 1.4 million people, Lincon and Bellevue have about the same amount, and Nebraska is home to over2.2 million people. We have steak of the same quality New York gets, because they order it from us, but it is fresher here, so it is better quality. We have a very festive city portion in our great state, and when we walk around town and say "Hello" to someone, instead of the response being "Shut up", the person you talk to says "Hello" back. The moral being, altough we may not live the "American Dream", we are Americans of different colors with the same values, and we dream. We work for what the founders of our beloved nation fought for, happiness, hard work, and people helping you along the way. You know, dispite being the laughingstock of the states, we still buy presents for others on Christmas and for Birthdays, and stay up all night on New Years Eve, we set off fireworks on the 4th of July, and celebrate Memorial Day, Father's Day, Mother's Day, Veteren's Day, and everything inbetween. There is nothing more American than that, many other Nebraskans agree with me, God bless America, Let Freedom Ring.
