The American Dream

           How does one define the “ American Dream?” Some think that the American dream is to become rich and famous while others might think that it is to live without poverty and be happy. There are a lot of different thoughts on what the American dream is but for me, the American dream is town a business, become financially stable, and to have a family.

            I want to own a business because I always thought, since I was young, that owning a business meant you’ll become rich. I learned and observed that it is not as easy as it looks. To even create a business, is financially difficult especially in the recession that we are living in. This “ perception… among economists that the new generation must lower its expectations.”(Generation Screwed) is hard to face, but if I had to own a small hot dog stand out in the city, I would. No matter what kind of business it involves, large or small, I would still want to have it. My dream is to own a business no matter what circumstances or how low I would have to get. Even if I have to start down from the dirt, I would do so to reach to the skyscrapers.

            Once I own a successful business, if I do achieve it or not, I want to be financially stable. I’m going to have to support a lot of people when I get older such as my parents, guardians, and my future family. Not knowing the future, I have to make financial decisions early. I want to go to a business school or a university that offers business as a major. What I learn in the future about financing and business will help me become a financially stable person. This dream can be easily done if I’m focused and determined to get necessary things to be done.

            I want to have a family in the future. Maybe in the long future because “ Nearly a third of people between 18 and 34 have put off marriage or having a baby due to the recession…” (Generation screwed)  I feel that I can’t afford a kid making me not even want one. Mainly because kids are expensive and the price of affording kids increase as the years go by unless our economy becomes financially stable. My dream is to have a family in the suburbs living with grandma and grandpa. It may take a while but I will achieve it through determination and hard work.

            Owning a business, being financially stable, and having a family are my American dream. The American dream I have will be achieved. It might take a few years or ten years but no matter what, I will be determined to achieve it. “If you believe, you can achieve.” No matter how bad the recession gets or how difficult financially it gets, I will try my best to make it happen. Not everyone can achieve their dreams but if they never up, they can achieve it someday. The American dream seems difficult, sometimes impossible because of circumstances but if you fight for it and keep trying, nothing is too far away to achieve.
