The American Dream
If there is something the majority of people living in the U.S and people outside our country have in common it has to be the American dream. However the ultimate goal as the American dream can vary from person to person depending on culture, location, way of life, resources, personal interests and will. Some people are looking to get rich fast and have houses, cars and all the money they can get as fast as they can. Others might just be looking to have the necessary things to live or other people might just want to be famous and be known worldwide. Many people are lucky and achieve the American dream with little effort but other people have to work hard for it or so that their descendants will make the dream come true. In my personal opinion the American dream is difficult to make come true in the economic situation the nation is facing at this time still it can be accomplished. My American dream is to be successful by living not a perfect life but a life full of happiness. I want to live my life without worrying about my financial status. I want to feel economically stable, having a job in a career that I will enjoy each and everyday, living in a beautiful home and in a location where I can feel safe knowing that my family will be safe and respected by nearby residents. A big part of my dream is to be a very successful individual by achieving personal happiness becoming an excellent wife and an admirable mother living a peaceful yet exciting life. I wish to spend my life with a person who is respectful and treats me the way I deserve, someone who will take care of me and bring happiness to my life day after day. I want to be a dependable woman who is trustworthy and can be counted on.

Jackie, You have a very truthful and gentle way os assessing the American dream. This gentlemess is something that I can have so much trounle with especially when writing of something of something I have a lot to save about. In reading you insights to the American Dream, I learned that power of defining something almost openendedly and then coming to a personal conclsion. By doing this you were able to hold the attention of the reader without pusing them away. As far as your personal view I respect you assertation of the "personal happiness." I agree. Personal happiness.... i like that. Do you think that people seek this happiness in areas where they cannot find it? I do. That's why i tend to steer away from and get "riled up" when people discuss monetary stability and happiness as equals. (I.E. you can t have one without the other.)
