A house with a white picket fence and a green lawn, a loving spouse, a loyal dog, and two nice children is the American Dream. Simultaneously, the American Dream is not what I have mentioned before. That is to say, the American Dream is different for each individual. One person may want this ideal setup, whereas others may dream about a penthouse in a city, or a farm with wide open spaces. Furthermore, another person may want a different kind of family, or none altogether. Essentially, the American Dream is that which one sees as the most desirable way to live one’s life. This could be expanded to more than just where you live and who you live with. How one is treated by one’s respective communities, the manner in which one choses to live one’s live, and other social and economic factors are also integral parts of the American Dream.
Unfortunately, very few of us get to live out our dreams. However, even if one fails to achieve it, their dream can still make an impact on America. This is because our dreams are also our goals. We strive to achieve them our entire life, which implies hard work, dedication to the goal, and most importantly, perseverance through tough times. This commitment has helped make our country what it is today. It helps us get through tough times spiritually and actually, for example during the Great Depression. Through our quest for our dreams, we give our best to America.
