the american dream

The American Dream is what defines this country, the United States, as the land of opportunity. The American Dream is searching for a better life, sometimes not only for ourselves but also for our future generations. For example, working hard to succeed and offer our family and children what we were not able to accomplish at their age. The American Dreams never ends because, suppose a family is well established and recognized in our society, as human beings we always want more, we always want to reach the top, to be the best. This idea goes for every class being lower, working, middle, or upper class.
The American Dream, definitely, can still be achievable today. Some people might say it isn’t because the rich keep getting richer and the poor poorer, but, to my understanding, it is possible with hard work and determination rather than connections and inheritance. There are facts supporting this idea. School professor, business owners, immigrants, and other people who start from the lowest level and succeed are examples.

Interestingly enough, you might be writing an essay on this topic in English 1A. I helped two students with this very same topic in the WRC last Tuesday. Good job this semester.
