text: why are you proud to be an american? only if you are really proud to be an american can you please answer.  no song lyrics por favor. :] i'm proud to be an american because as a female, i have as much right and equality as the men in this country. male and female rights are equal.    i'm living in a country where your dreams can come true. the whole "study hard, go to college, and you'll succeed" really does  work here...i'm sure it happens in other countries as well, but it's more of a sure thing.  i'm very blessed to be living here.
