413 Words1 Page

Just like other people, I have my own American Dreams too. We all have different dreams, some have bigger dreams, some have smaller dreams but we all have the same goal which is to achieve our dreams. I have three American Dreams that I’d like to achieve in the future. First is to go to college, play professional soccer and have happy family. I will do anything to achieve these dreams. Just like many other high school students, I want to go to college but I’m not going straight to college after I graduated from high school. I want to work for at least a year or two. If i can’t get any scholarships I’ll loan the money from the government to go to college. I’ll work part time as well so I can pay back fast and take care of myself. I know it

    The American dream is one of those happily ever after that so many people thrive for, but never get. Life isn't a fairy tale, there are ups and downs, good and bad, nice and evil, but once we put it all together we get these wonderful things called memories which make our lives worth so much more.

    In my perspective, my American Dream includes freedom. I am frequently asked what I believe in and what my life goals are, and to be honest, I am not even fully sure. However, I do look forward to growing up and being able to make my own decisions on what I want to persue my life in. In the wise words of Ray E.

    An “American Dream” is different for every person, and there is likely not a single dream that is the same. I imagine my dream with a husband, pets, and comfortable home in a place where the weather is nice during the seasons. To live in a home near the beach in Hawaii is my goal. I want to be able to visit the beach every now and then, and be able to walk outside in only shorts and a tee shirt and still be warm. I want to look out my window and have a beautiful view of the place that I call home. If I do not live in Hawaii, then I would undoubtedly settle for Minnesota since I have lived all my life here and would enjoy staying. For a living, I want to do something in the medical field, such as a physical therapist or an athletic trainer.
