Juan's American Dream

The American dream is something everybody wants, but not everybody can achieve. It's the Mustang parked in the drive way. The kids running in the backyard with the dog. The Sunday barbeques with the 52" TV on the Cowboy's game. It's everything we want and everything we need. Ask anybody what their American dream is and most will respond," I want a family and a home." That is the summarization of nearly all their answers. But just as there are 300 million Americans, so are there 300 million American dreams. My American dream is different from yours just as yours is different from mine. So what is my American dream? I want many things, but the one thing I want more than anything else is to give my children what my parents gave me: a decent home and a good education. That's what my American dream revolves around. I want a home, large and full of room. I want a truck, a Ford preferably. I want a wife and children and a dog running around in the backyard. Call me stereotypical, but I am what I am. It's my American dream and nothing is going to stop me from getting there.
