Personal Narrative: I Believe In Pursuing Dreams

The American dream is something that everyone should believe in, I know I do. Throughout my whole entire life I have wanted to be successful. I believe in myself and know that I can accomplish anything I put my mind to. The American dream says that everyone should be treated equal. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Everyone is judged for their height, weight, race, age, likes, dislikes, etc. In the world today you must conform to the social norm to be considered “cool.” Part of me wants to feel that way and the other part of me just wants to be original and do whatever I want. When I was a little girl I used to perform in musical theater. I loved it so much it made me the happiest I have probably ever been in my entire life. Did everybody

I was born in the capital of Colombia, Bogota. At the age of six, my family decided we would immigrate to the United States in search of economical stability, a better quality of life and better opportunities of education for my brother and I. My parents were ready to leave their families, jobs, and everything they knew behind. They talked about how wonderful life in the United States would be, and found comfort in the abundance of jobs, good salaries, good schools and opportunities North America would offer our family. I then believed that stepping foot on the US was a guarantee for a wonderful life, the American dream. Unfortunately from the beginning of my journey I realized life is not easy and mature immensely in the ongoing process of achieving the American dream.

Unfortunately, not everyone is able to reach this dream. Not all people have the opportunities or money to do so. You really can do anything you put your mind to, but sometimes those dreams are just not proportional with what they have. If your dream is to be a singer, but you’re tone deaf, it’s just not feasible. Sometimes as well, you might not be the right age for whatever your dreams is. In Immigrants and the American Dream: Remaking the Middle Class, Clark says, “For many adults

Anyone who has the desire to live in the Unites States of America knows that it is the greatest nation among all nations. People either have little knowledge of other countries to believe this general notion or have truly seen and been informed of the opportunal prosperity that exists in the spirit of America. The American Dream is the idea that sets the minds of people determined to be part of a great nation because everyone has the equal opportunity to become successful and prosperous, if you work hard enough to achieve it. The American Dream is the reason why so many people come to the United States in search for better economic and liberty opportunities. What causes frustration and discouragement to enter this nation is the fact that the

For me I believe that if it is a dream for one to become something in life, it only lingers in the back of your head. You acknowledge it, but sometimes you really can't do anything or you find a replacement to fill that void. In my experience having a dream that is unreasonable vs reasonable can inner twine with the rest of the world: it can fester, explode, or even just sage on your shoulders, but what I have learned it that we always find something new and interesting to keep us going everyday. Individuals every second grow in perspective and interests due to the many changes in life, this as well can influence our dreams and goals.

Dreams and Aspirations Have you ever thought about how your dreams and aspirations affect you and the relationships in your life? Your dreams and aspirations can have a huge impact on your own life or someone else’s as well. Dreams cause people to believe they can do anything they want or become anything they want. Dreams are what you want your future to be like, which makes you want to pursue the dream. This thought can either end in positivity or negatively affect you.

The American Dream is something U.S. citizens and immigrants look for in America. This ideal is supposed to be the big picture/meaning of America, where anything can be achieved through hard work and perseverance. This motto is something we Americans live by and follow. I feel like the American Dream is it’s own destination; a destination where everyone, regardless of race, color, creed, or sexual orientation, can live peacefully and achieve even the craziest of dreams through hard work. Unfortunately, I feel that the society we live in today is not the American Dream, it’s something a little more divided. People today see a person of different color, race, etc, and judge them based off acts that are committed by past criminals with violent

My mission in life is not merely to survive but to thrive ; & to do so with some passion , some compassion , some humor , and style.” This quote is by one of my favorite authors and people : Maya Angelou. She always influenced me because the way she carried herself and where she came from. From time I heard “ Still I Rise” it reminded me of what type of woman I wanted to be. I always look of to powerful women the independent ones , the go getters. My American Dream is have live in my pursuit of happiness : to graduate from LSU with my PHD , pursue my career as a doctor , and purchase my own condo by age 25. This is my ultimate explanation of my Pursuit of Happiness.

    A family rule I had growing up was that you were not aloud to get your ears pierced until you were eight years old. I wanted my ears pierced so badly. I used to wear fake earrings to school all the time. I didn’t know much about ear piercings, other than the fact that I felt so grown up when I wore earrings. All I knew was that someone would use a special tool, I would feel a pinch, and then BAM! I would be a grown up in no time. I remember my eighth birthday felt like an eternity away. I could hardly contain my excitement when it was finally just around the corner.

Realistically, not many people willingly want to get out of bed -I know I don't. But that's something we all have to do. Pushing your limits is hard, everyone knows that, but trudging that extra hill, or running that next mile is an amazing accomplishment, we all want. Without society, or our colleagues, we never know what to accomplish, how to accomplish or why, but I say we need to stop comparing ourselfs, and stop bringing home the bacon for someone else, but to succeed on our own terms, to not to push on for others, but for ourselfs, our own benefit, because the only one who's going to embrace it the most is you. I believe determination and self-perseverance doesn't benefit anyone but yourself and that is what

Circling back to my original goals from action two my first goal is to lose twenty pounds by summer. To set a date for completion I will use the literal first day of summer which is June 20th. Now the next portions of DAPPS bring up achievable, currently I have already lost a total of six pounds and there are about 14 weeks until June 20th. If I am able to lose one pound a week I see no reason why this goal wouldn’t be achievable, as most people lose one to two ponds a week when dieting and exercising regularly which is general knowledge. The personal and positive aspects of this goal are fairly similar, I will exercise and I will eat right to achieve this goal. This will change my personal outlook on myself and give myself more confidence

I awoke in the morning to Baljeet Tjinder, standing right upon my bed. I was having the best dream of my life, It was of my past life before I made the travel. You see, before I made my trek to this new cultivated land I was in despair and complete isolation, except for my family who I worked every day for 12 hours to feed. Every dream I have reminds me of my family. I miss them and need to work extremely hard to get enough money to send them here and out of the depression back in California.

I am a first generation student and spring semester is my second semester in college. I got no help in the beginning of fall semester in the process of class selection. I got in math class late and was unable to catch up to class that lead me to drop the class. But this semester, I got all the opportunity to get involve and to pursue my dream. I am working hard as possible to do well on every class and outside of the class. I am also involve in community, representing community throughout state being a youth leader and doing volunteer in my free time. This summer I am planning to make a transformative summer taking a class from world most prestigious university. I hope the class I take this summer will help me get ready to pursue my goal of

Everybody has dreams. Weather they dream to become a researcher and find new and astounding things, or turn into a star ball player and be the most generously compensated player in the class, individuals long for their future. I have dreams for the future simply like every other person. Dreams of the great life, with lots of cash, , and fast cars ! What's more, I will do whatever it takes to accomplish it.

Junior year I was all gung-ho about going to a college for a rock science; however towards the end of the year, and over the course of the year I had mum speaking to me, telling me, that this really wasn’t a viable career. I was considering this, but, there was also my thoughts on a cinematography career, which I still want to do; however, I don’t necessarily need a degree in editing or whatever, I really can just work my way from the bottom up, Industry. While I cannot predict my future, I thought I wanted something in the industry. However, after my job shadow earlier in the year, I decided to change from that to studying forensics, I decided this after I spent the year on field trips, and time inside a lab… I loved it! I was set on going
