The American Dream!!

The American Dream is an idea that has been around since long before our country was ever founded. The American Dream is the idea that anybody can do anything they want, think anything they want, be anybody they want to be. We live in a country where if a little boy wants to be a fire fighter, he can be. If a little girl wants to be a doctor, she can be. There is no one person who can tell us that we can not do something. We as Americans, are in charge of our own destiny. As long as a person works hard and puts in enough effort, they can do anything. Being in charge of our own destiny isn't always easy though. Alot of people make the mistake of thinking they can't instead of putting forth all the effort they have and making your dreams come true. The American Dream is THE DREAM. It's the opportunity to make your life into something you want it to be. People shouldn't waste their time and let good opportunities pass them by. In order to take advantage of The American Dream, you have to work for it.

What's my American Dream?
My Dream is undecided. There is so much I want to do, it is hard to decide. Ever since I was 3 years old I have wanted to dance on stage. Though I am quiet and not usually the one to draw attention to myself, I love to perform and be in front of people. As I think about my future it's a little hard not to see myself continuing what I love to do the most! But at the same time I want to be realistic. The chances of me getting into a good performing school, are limited. At the same time though, I love to study space. I want to study astronomy in college and work at NASA. I find the idea of an entire universe beyond our small world so fascinating. Whatever I end up doing though I will always make sure to put family first. Without family I know I would never be able to do it.
