The American Dream
Today, many people immigrate to the United States of America in search of the American Dream; freedom, equality, and the opportunity to achieve their personal goals in life that they could not achieve in their homeland.

She received her last unemployment payment in March, putting her among the first wave of "99ers" who have come to the end of their 99 weeks of entitlement to benefits.

For example my friend wanted to go college but he couldn’t afford it because he couldn’t get financial aid due to its citizenship status. A downside to the educational system is that in some cases financial aid does not fully cover college expenses, making students to get loans. When students with loans finally graduate they end up having a high debt which they are unable to pay due to the lack of job
