Introduction
The American dream is a concept that’s been around for centuries. It’s something that people all over the world aspire to, but it means something different for everyone. For me, it’s about working hard towards something and then reaching your goals. As I’ve gotten older and watched more of the world around me, I’ve realized that there are many factors outside our control that affect what we achieve in life.
The American dream is, in the simplest sense, a concept that the United States is a land of opportunity.
The American Dream is, in the simplest sense, a concept that the United States is a land of opportunity. It’s an idea that inspires people to work hard towards something bigger than themselves–whether that be success, happiness or satisfaction in life. No matter how long it takes them or where they come from (and for me personally–it was both).
The idea was first coined by James Truslow Adams in 1931 and has since been used as an inspiration for generations of immigrants who want nothing more than better lives for themselves and their families than what they had before coming here.
There are many versions of the American Dream, but they all boil down to what you want out of life.
The American Dream is a concept, not a reality. It’s about the freedom to pursue your own goals and dreams. It’s about being able to provide for your family and make something of yourself, whether that means starting your own business or working hard at an established company so you can climb up the ladder until you reach the top.
The American Dream has changed over time–it used to mean owning land or having enough money so that nobody could take advantage of you–but it still embodies those same concepts: success through hard work and determination, self-determination as opposed to being dependent on others for financial stability (or anything else).
I grew up with an altruistic version of the American Dream that I still hold dear today.
The American Dream is the idea that anyone can work hard, achieve their goals and live a good life. It’s about being able to provide for yourself and your family–and if you’re lucky enough to have one, helping others when they need it most.
I grew up with an altruistic version of this dream: my parents taught me that in order for me to be successful in life, I needed to put others before myself. This meant working hard towards something and then reaching my goals; but also giving back a little bit (or a lot) whenever possible–whether by donating money or volunteering time at my local food bank during Thanksgiving season every year since I was young enough to hold boxes full of canned goods on my own shoulders (I was always pretty small).

The American Dream means something different to everyone. For me, it’s about working hard towards something and then reaching your goals. It’s not about being rich or having the nicest things in life; it’s about doing what makes YOU happy and following your passions.
If you’re a writer or an artist and want to make money off of it? GREAT! The American Dream says go ahead and do that! If you want to be an athlete? Awesome! The American Dream says go for it! If there is something that makes YOU happy, then do it because this country was founded on doing whatever makes YOU happy–even if other people don’t agree with your choices or think they’re strange/weird/stupid…or all three combined (like me).
It’s also about being able to provide for my family and help others when they’re down by giving back a little bit (or a lot).
In addition to being a good person, the American Dream also means that I’m able to provide for my family and help others when they’re down by giving back a little bit (or a lot). It’s about making sure that our kids have a better future than we did. It’s about setting aside money for their college education, so they don’t have to take out student loans or struggle like we did. And it’s about making sure that when their friends are sick or need something special, we can help out with no questions asked.
The American Dream isn’t just about buying stuff–it’s about having the freedom of choice in what you do with your life: whether it be raising children, volunteering at church/schools/charities etc., traveling around the world visiting different places & cultures – all while still being able to provide financially (or not) depending on how much time off work each week!
As I’ve gotten older and watched more of the world around me, I’ve realized that there are many factors outside our control that affect what we achieve in life.

I came to this realization when I started volunteering at a local church in my town. They were doing some construction work on their building and needed help with cleaning up after each day’s work was finished. The pastor told me that they had been working on their building for years now and still didn’t have enough money to finish it up completely; he was hoping this construction project would get them closer to their goal so they could finally open their doors fully once again!
It made me wonder how many other people out there might be struggling just like this church does: trying so hard but still having no luck achieving their dreams because something else always gets in the way?
In this way, the American Dream can be considered very similar to fate or destiny.

This is why I’m so thankful for the American Dream: because it has given me so much that I wouldn’t have been able to achieve if not for its existence as an idea in our culture.

As I’ve grown older, I’ve learned that the pursuit of the American Dream can be a lifelong journey. It doesn’t end when you get your first job out of college; instead it begins there and continues throughout our careers as we search for personal fulfillment in our jobs and lives.
