Masks in America
As Americans, we continue to stand together to help curb the effects of Covid-19. We unite in our masks and put aside our differences to come together during these extraordinary times.
There is no denying the struggle that so many face each day due to the pandemic. The amount of loss and hardships that many have faced is immeasurable. In many ways, the despair and tragedy seems almost too much to bear.
We are all given the opportunity to make choices. We have all had to make incredible efforts and many have done so without thanks or praise. This is our time as Americans to make the right choice. If we all do our part to socially distance, wear our masks, and stay up to date with the CDC’s recommendations, we will see better days ahead.
In a world of uncertainty, dilemmas, and confusion, I also like to think of this time as a blank canvas., or even a fresh start. Like many others, I don’t want to wear a mask forever. We complain that it’s itchy, gets in the way—the list goes on. However, that is a very small price to pay to know that I can continue to keep myself and others safe from harm. As Americans, we value our safety, lives, and ability to enjoy our freedoms. Like so many who’ve fought for our country, they’ve also had to make numerous sacrifices to keep us safe.
Our masks symbolize our strength and commitment to preventing tragedies, harm, and loss. The mask isn’t just about ourselves, it’s about all of America, and the rest of the world! As Americans, we aspire to be leaders on the world stage, and that means being leaders in keeping each other safe and protected. Wearing our mask is our chance to do that: an opportunity to make America a better and safer place for all.
Let’s fight the good fight, and keep our masks on!
