The American Dream
The American Dream is a vague topic. Many have different definitions about this term, yet it is a matter of opinion. For many theAmerican Dream is money, cars, and property. That’s all you need out here to be settled with no worries. If you don’t acquire these things then the American Dream is no more, therefore The AmericanDream is shattered. In my opinion, The American Dream is a happy life in the states where you are well settled with a job with a steady income. In addition, you have cars for all the family members aswell as a nice house to live in. While doing all this maintaining a happy peaceful life is the hardest part but you also have to remember that you need to enjoy your time on this Earth to the fullestand nothing under that.
I have asked around and many say they need an average house. This seems reasonable since you are living in the states. If you work all your life in the states then you wouldwant at least an average house. Although at the same time, you need a stable job with a good income. The more education you have completed the better income you will earn. Therefore, this is an optionto getting a steady income. A car also makes an impression and fulfillment for the American Dream. The American dream is to get a car like the Chevy Camaro or the Ford Mustang.
I have also knownpeople who follow the idea rags to riches. This starts from a minimum wage job to supporting their kids so they can become successful. Usually it starts with the parents working hard and making somethingin America. Thereafter they can support their kids for college so they can do better. Prosperity is also another main goal many American families strive to achieve. If everything plays right then theybecome successful and go from rags to riches. Although this takes a lot of: time, dedication, and hard work, it can be done.
For many the Statue of Liberty was the first sight many immigrants...
