New Jersey is the best of all the United States because of a few simple reasons I have listed below.

Our state is unique in the fact that it has so many different beautiful land features, from mountains, to beaches , to forests. In the upper area of New Jersey, we have mountains. The Appalachian Mountains go through New Jersey. Our beaches are beautiful, with sands and the ocean, which most states only wish they had. We have the Pine Barrens filled with pine trees, fields, rivers and lakes, (which most states may have, but all of it combined in New Jersey makes it truly special). The diverse land features really do make our state beautiful and interesting.

We don’t have to pump our own gas! Paying and pumping? That’s not exactly something people like to think about. At least in New Jersey, people can pump the gas for you, even if you do still have to pay!

Luckily, we have a low crime rate, which is very good for our safety. We don’t have to worry about  robbers  too much. Usually a place with a low crime rate is a good place.

New Jersey has great education! It is ranked #1 out of all 50 states for high schools. Education gives you a better future. New Jersey education gives you an even better one.

New Jersey is near two great cities giving us access to Philadelphia and New York City. This helps us whenever we want to go to a city which is pretty great. You can get jobs, go to museums and sporting events, and there are a lot of stores and restaurants!

Those are some of the reasons why I think New Jersey is the very best state in America. I love our state!
