KissMyCountry sponsored a 4th of July giveaway on HerCampus – the ‘collegiette’s guide to life!’. With three USA t-shirts to give away, HerCampus asked collegiettes to write about why they love the USA and then selected the top 3 submissions. Here are the 
winning entries. We hope each winner enjoys their t-shirt as much as we’ve enjoyed your entries. Great job and thank you!
Sara B: Love For An Adopted Country and An Adoptive Family
I love my country because it gives me so many opportunities I may not have had. I was adopted from South America as a child, and I cannot even begin to imagine my life had I not been adopted into such a loving and caring family. They support me in everything I try to accomplish, and are there for me whenever I need them. I love my family, my country, and the abilities both give me to do what I love.
Cassie S: Love for the Freedom to Be Who You Want to Be
I love my country because it is the only place where you can truly be an individual. Uniqueness is celebrated, not punished. As a person trying to free herself from the pressures she feels, it is great knowing that I can be who I want to be, feel and express myself how I want, and life the life I dream to.
Chrissy C: Love for the Freedom to Speak Freely
I love my country for many reasons, but one of the most important reasons is freedom of speech. When I hear of censoring or oppression in other countries, I can’t help but be thankful I can speak my mind freely without worrying. As a journalist, this is huge and I am so happy to have this freedom.
