This year’s winner of the Dawson County Democratic Party J.P. Livaditis Memorial Scholarship wrote about the diversity in America in her essay. We are a country of immigrants. This fact has brought us people from all over the world in search of a better life. Native American Indians were the only people here before immigration to America started. Most likely everyone reading this article is descended from immigrants, unless you are a pure blood American Indian. Because of immigration, America is a country of different cultures, races, ethnicities and religions. We are also different because of different ideas including politics, sexual orientation, likes and dislikes.
