We
can all remember Martin Luther King, Junior, a man with high hopes and strong
beliefs, who gave America one of the most memorable speeches that changed the country
forever. He had a dream; a dream that soon came to a reality. This was what gave
me the motivation to foresee my own American dream to live life with success
and happiness, with the hopes of America improving in the near future.
With a good
education and school, I can achieve my goal of graduating with flying colors. I
dream of walking down to my teachers as they finally give me that diploma I
have worked to receive. After succeeding with high school, I have a dream of getting
accepted to Arkansas State University to pursue my dream of becoming a nurse.
With the knowledge of high demands for nurses in the next few years, I can be
confident that it will not be hard for me to become what I want to be. Even
though I think of myself as a very independent person, I hope to one day marry
a man who can not only be a partner, but a best friend, who will stick by me
till deaths do us apart and raise beautiful children until they are old enough
to go off by themselves. This is my personal American dream. I dream of a happy
and successful life, but we all know it does not come easy. With hard work, motivation,
time, effort, and confidence, I can one day live my life that I have dreamed
about since I have been an American.
One
day, this country will change, but for the better. Every day we witness several
judgments and bullying, simply because of how we look, what we believe in, and
the way we live our life. We all have the right to express ourselves. We have
the right to be who we want to be and become what we want to become. Someday, I
will walk down the streets of this city and pass by the citizens that we come
across, and I will not be judged and looked at wrong, just because I am
different. America is the land of the free and home of the brave. I dream of no
more judging a book by its cover and peace with others around us.
A
dream is not always just an action. It can be turned into a reality if you
strive to achieve your goals. My
American dream is not a fantasy, but a hope of a better future. Someday, I will
not call it “my American dream”, but instead “my American life”.
