Old Life, New Life

Lots of things have changed since the colonial times. In the past, wealthy people from colonies would sometimes hire tutors to come and teach their kids. Some people home school today too, but I think I am lucky enough to a nice school. Back then, it was believed that education for boys are more important than education for girls. Today, it is believed that education should be available to everyone. I live in a beautiful beach city. The cities used to be loud, smell bad, there were always high threats of a fire, and the housing were close together. I feel fortunate today, that where I live there are nice neighborhoods, the weather is always perfect, and the view is nice. I believe human rights are a lot better today. In colonies, men were always the one's working outside, always the one's owning the land. Women on the other hand, were the ones at home, always cleaning, and taking care of the kids. Woman didn't have a choice of what they wanted to do. From the beginning, it was already decided that they were going to get married and be a house wife. Today, women are able to decide their own path, and work towards their dreams. Today, most men and women both have ways to get education and many job choices to choose from. It makes me happy to realize the improvement America has made from the Colonial times, to present time today.
