College had previously seemed like an unrealistic dream but now it seems very realistic. My lineage goes back to Mexico. My mother was born and raised in Chihuahua, Mexico; my father was born and raised in Matamoros, Mexico. They each attended two years of elementary school and soon after dropped out. This was so they could help provide for their families. They both had farms with a lot of animals. Their everyday work was hours of unruly heat and manual labor. They were not compensated but got worn
My american dream is to become a professional baker or chef. My dream is to be able to give my family a good life or at least a decent one, while doing something that I enjoy. I have tried to cook but that hasn’t worked out that good. When I have a good job as a professional baker I want to form a nice family. But before that I want to travel the world. I want to go to Egypt, Australia, Italy and Hawaii. And those are a few to name. I would like to buy a house for my parents and me. Where I can take
Throughout my paper I used my current state, as an aspiring college student to challenge Martins opinion on our failing economy. My paper mainly focused on dissecting Martins definition of a failing economy. My essay also focused on debating Martins belief that parents don't push their kids to pursue the American Dream anymore. In my paper, I used a personal experience to counter Martin's argument that parents don't strive for their kids to pursue the American Dream. My first argument in the paper supported

The way I will show that is by giving examples within two paper I have constructed in class this semester: the thesis based essay titled:” The American Dream Then and Now’ and paragraph
year of English yet, which is fitting because it culminates my last year of high school. In fact, I am writing this piece on my last day of high school. This is one of the last English classes I will ever take. I am not planning on majoring in English in college but I have truly learned to see the beauty of language I use every single day. It may sound cliché, but there is nothing more fulfilling than being able to express myself on paper. Thirteen years of English class (twelve excluding kindergarten)
For my research topic, I want to analyze the issues surrounding Mexican immigration in Los Angeles. Currently, Mexican immigration has become a controversial issue of discussion that is trying to be “dealt with” under the Trump Administration. Some Americans feel that illegal immigrants are criminals and come illegally to the US and cause problems. This controversy has unleashed tension and division amongst American society.

future that I want to have. The American Dream project has got me to really think about what I want to do with my life after high school. The second thing that has help me prepare for the future is the Washburn visit and the research we had to with the visit. Finally the last moment in class that helped me for the future was Mrs. Switzky’s off topic talks. The American dream challenged me to figure out what I wanted to do after high school and what my American dream is. At the beginning of the year

My best essay that I wrote throughout the year was by far the Mango DBQ which was titled as “The Obstacles of the American Dream”. This was my best essay because of many reasons. One reason why is because I received a 98 percent on it which was my best grade of the year.

I had many strengths in my paper such as my evidence and analysis. Every piece of evidence that
