2. We recently caught up on IG, and today she told me this I was almost tearing up that 18 y/o me knew what patriotism meant. Many mistake it for âignorance is blissâ, pretend our systemic flaws donât exist and God is a trini so we good. But no, itâs so much more.

3. Patriotism requires a level of awareness of all the good AND the bad of a country. An understanding of how and why we are what we are. But most importantly, the will to do better. The drive to contribute to a society that contributed to you.
4. I have benefited from the systems in place to assist citizens, especially free education and health care. Why would I not want to help develop what helped develop me into who and what I am today? When I say I am patriotic, this is what I mean!
5. I love my country, my people, my culture...but we can do better in every aspect, and one of my life goals is to be a part of the movement forward.
Also, people actually listen to me when I say things
I was so touched by this!
