Today, there are many dreams and traditions that Americas hold. Some of them can be reached, some cannot. Some Americans dream of riches, some dream of curing diseases. Most of their dreams are from the heart. People dream of having a family, with healthy kids. The American dream is really simple to me. It’s having a family, house, job, and one or more cars. Today in society, people have different perspectives on what the “American Dream” is. People worry more about how the economy is doing than how their families are doing. Maybe somebody dreams about being a big sports star, or getting rich quick. Maybe somebody dreams about singing for a living, and making an enormous amount of money. Another common “American Dream” is that you could win millions off the lottery, or gambling. Cities like Los Vegas have been made just for gambling, for people who think that they can get rich quick. Some American’s lose a lot of money and end up being hurt by that dream. Some lose all their money, their houses, and a lot of possessions from gambling. Each one of us many Americans may as well have different perspectives on the “American Dream”, seeing as we are all different. Another part of the “American Dream” would be tradition. Like Christmas, for example. People all over the world celebrate this; it’s even a national holiday. But not everybody is Christian, or believes in Jesus.
People dream of seeing their friends and family on these occasions. Maybe that is somebody’s American Dream, just seeing their friends and family on holidays. Possibly somebody’s could think of the “American Dream” as America is the “Land of opportunity”, so they would get a good job and things in America. More about what the “American dream” means to me. When I hear the term, “American Dream” I think of somebody in some foreign country, making shoes for a bowl of rice a day, dreaming to coming here and getting 6.75 an hour.
My “American Dream” would be going to a good college
