My Dream Life Essay

“I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile” (Walter Chrysler). Deciding on what one wants to be in life can prove to be a demanding task. There are so many, yet limited, different opportunities in the world to have an excellent career and make a decent living while doing something one loves. It is limited because there are only a few specific career paths that someone could take to make good money. It is very difficult to make a fulfilling living being a garbage man. There are many different opportunities because, within these specific careers, there are usually various paths to take. Someone who has dreams to be a

First, let's define "American Dream". "American Dream" is what you would consider a "perfect life." It can be full of happiness, money, love, food, cars, whatever you desire, everyone has a different opinion. One person’s American Dream may be totally different from someone else’s, that is what makes us all individuals. My American Dream would include a good job and lots of money, spare time for my family and I, and most importantly, healthiness.

I was born and raised in the United States but my family was not born here, they came from an area south of Los Angeles, Mexico. In the border between the United States and Mexico, many immigrants have lost their lives attempting to achieve their promise dream. Many immigrants who cross the border pursue the American Dream. My family was one of the many immigrant families who attempted and fortunately succeeded in crossing over the border. My father’s family originated from Guadalajara, Jalisco, México. Many families just like mine risked their lives attempting to not only get to the border, but to cross it as well. My family did not differ much from the other immigrant families who sought to achieve economic stability and prosperity here

I say that the American dream is different and have obstacles to concurred because of racism in the country. I think that the American dream will always have problems because parents have there kids growing up teaching them to be racist. Another reason is because people will look at black people a different way towards getting jobs and accomplishing something just because of the way they came up or was raised they will always look at black people different. The final reason why I say this is because they still have police that are racist and other people who are white that see you with some money and will always take it in a negative way like if you work for it and you not an athlete or rapper they would think you sell drugs or do something else. The American dream is hard on stuff because of racism and always has been since before everything happened with slavery even on other races like Chinese, Hispanic, mexican, and Arabian people, they make like the people are meant to do certain jobs just based off their race.

Gordon Marino effectively argues the importance of individuals doing what they need to do and not just what they love as a career. He builds his argument by including anecdotes, citing experts, and appealing to the audience’s emotions. To begin with, in his article, Dr. Marino builds his argument with anecdotal evidence to help readers see the importance of choosing to do more than what they love. The personal stories strengthen his argument and the use of pathos because he gives an example of his life saying, “My father didn’t do what he loved. He labored at a job he detested so that he could send his children to college” (page 2, para.2).

I was born in a small town in Mexico on March 20, 1998. My life over there was rough, my mom had to work two jobs so she can provide for me and my brother. My brother was the one that always took care of me and was like a father figure. Leaving everything behind and having to start again chasing the American dream was hard, but was for the best. I had to learn a new language and interact with different people. In the beginning I didn't like being here I felt alone being in a strange place, going to school was also difficult since I could not communicate with my teachers and with most of my peers. That changed when I learned more English and I did everything I could to adapt to this country. I also saw how much my parents worked and still struggled

The American dream is something that so many people dream of achieving throughout their lives. I don’t know much about the American dream, but I do have a basic understanding of it. The American dream is the idea that you can come to the United States and fulfill a life that may be better than wherever it is that you’re originally from, and that you can accomplish your goals without being restricted by the government like you may be in some other countries.

American dream, the idea that every US citizen should have the same equal opportunity to achieve success and prosperity. Many american dreams are either easy, or hard, depending on your main american dream. Although they may be easy, hard, simple, or complexed they all need the same things to keep it going. The main thing I believe keeps it going is determination to do it. Many don’t know they use determination in every stage of life.

The smell of junk foods and lit cigarettes in the street plus the mass of technology implied to me that something was odd. Looking around the area, I knew I wasn’t at home anymore.

The American dream is a well-known phrase. Working hard is the key to being blissful and successful. My personal “American Dream” is to be truly prosperous. True happiness for me would include fortunate marriage, my dream career, an impeccable house, and two healthy kids. I heard my aunt say this before and I agree wholeheartedly: “Everything good in life is worth working for”. In order to attain my American dream I have set goals for myself.

American author, Ernest Hemingway, changed the way I dream through his words, “It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that matters, in the end.” Prior to my introduction to the thoughts of Hemingway, I focused more on the numerical count that reflected the amount of goals I created, rather than the substance behind the aspirations and the necessary steps to accomplish them. Witnessing firsthand how easily a dream can become a distant memory has positively inspired me to improve the way I create, plan, and execute my goals. My current professional aspirations that span over a five year period, are a product of my labor in developing the skills to turn my dreams into a reality.

I grew up thinking I could do anything that my friends could do, but as I got older I found out that I couldn't do some of the things they can do. While I had friends that would travel out of the country for vacation, I would only go as far as Florida. When I was younger I asked my parents why we couldn’t leave the country like my other friends, they simply responded with "we can't." Since I was a little girl at the time I didn't think too much of the situation and just let it go. When I was 11 I finally found out that the reason behind this was because we’re undocumented and it was very difficult for me to process. When we came to America I was only two so it was practically the only home I knew when I realized that it

My last name is Matias, it means nothing in college but once I drive those 45 minutes back to Lawrence, Mass it’s significant to every member of the police force. Lawrence, MA is one of the top 10 most dangerous cities in Massachusetts. I was born and raised in Lawrence, and many times I have witnessed situations where the law did not seem to be on the citizens’ side. In addition there are lawyers that are appointed to defend you but are not invested in the outcome. In Lawrence it seems that it’s always your word against the authorities, but your word has no value. Your only hope to beating the system is becoming a part of it and making a difference. My American Dream is to be a defense lawyer for people who live in urban areas. Knowing

I was nine-years old when I first arrived to the United States. Blown away by how different everything was from Ecuador, I told myself that nothing would stop me from achieving the so beloved American Dream I had come for. I remember looking down from the airplane window and seeing the highway illuminated by the lights of cars and streetlights, never did I imagine that there would be mountains of snow piled up in the side of the street. Minnesota embraced me with its cold windy temperature, slippery sidewalks and its giant piles of snow. What more could I ask for? It was exactly what I had seen in the American movies my mother and I used to watch in Ecuador. I saw the green and blue signs indicating the name of the streets and realized

A career I would be interested in pursuing is being a park ranger. This job interests me because I love spending time outdoors and with people.
