The American Dream is a personal thing. Every person’s belief or thought on what the American Dream is different than anybody else’s. There is one noticeable theme between every dream though, the dream is to live a better life socially, personally, or freely more then anyone. The conflicts at the time helps determine what aspect of life someone wishes to improve on, but it will always most likely be the same or closely similar to those dreams of others.
To me the "American Dream" is not just a dollar sign, or a perfect job, but the ability to walk into a room or a home, and know that your presence is welcomed and looked forward to. My dream is realizing that in America, we have the resources to make an honest difference. There are not really others that I can really compare my version of the American dream to, because after all everyone's thoughts are different. Go wherever as far as you like, try what all you want, but realize home is always home. That is Why America is great, because you always have that place to call home sometimes.
Today, people’s dreams of what America is to them has changed. Many parents have the dream for a better family life than they had. Family life has changed. Many people are getting divorces and having stepchildren. These children have grown up with a Dream of providing a better Family life by supporting them better, spending more time with them, and expressing their love more readily. I dream that my family will one day back get together, but, I know in my head that won’t happen. This is another common dream, is to make a family that they might not of never had growing up.
The great thing about America even though it is not always about money is, if a person is born into a less fortunate family, he or she has the choice to make things better by excelling towards excellence throughout school, and then later on being rewarded for all their hard work with a degree in a certain area of study enabling them to go on and find high paying jobs that they will actually love doing and not dread. Just like that a person can easily change their life for the better if they just put their mind to it and not give up.
To tie everything back together I believe that anything can be done, dreams, wishes, or whatever it might be as long as you put your mind to it. Don't always think about the money try and think of non-materialistic things sometimes such as family, friends, and how people will take you out in the real world, that is my American dream.
