Homelessness is a major issue worldwide, which appears to be growing at a rapid rate. Many unfortunate factors play a role in one becoming homeless and living on the streets with no shelter, little or no food, and lack of clothing to keep warm. Some factors that may lead to homelessness are a substantial decrease in income, loss of employment, mental issues, drug and alcohol addiction, running away from home or major life events such as a death in the family. In addition, as the homeless population grows, resources such as shelters become full and overcrowded leaving people with nowhere to sleep other than a park bench, under a bridge, on the side walk or on the side of a building. Sadly, society judges those in these predicaments, many fail to listen to the stories of homeless individuals or attempt to understand why and what they’re going through. Furthermore, much of society continues to go through life as if the homeless population doesn’t exist, doing little or nothing at all to help them in any way possible. Although homelessness is a much larger issue than myself, I felt the need to do my part in helping the homeless in whichever way achievable. Therefore, for my public project, I decided to do what was necessary to provide homeless individuals, that are without shelter, with coats and blankets to keep warm during the winter months. To make this happen, I thought of a plan to put into action to accomplish the goal. I built a team of likeminded individuals that would help do the necessary work to accomplish the set goal, we collectively worked together as a group to implement and follow a plan and moved forward to execute it.

On July 4,1776 America became free, free to be its own nation without a king to tell “us” what to do. Soon after we “broke up” with England we started welcoming new people to America and started making it diverse. People came all over the world for the same reason we did, in search of the “American Dream”. The American Dream is the ideal that everyone should have equal rights and opportunities; that everyone can achieve success and prosperity through hard work, motivation, and determination. People were coming here to escape their country and join ours. We were known as the country that everybody could be what they wanted to be. No one was born into their class and everyone could move up and down the class due to how they did.

What is the American Dream? What is America and what do we stand for? All questions that i’ve asked myself many times throughout my life, and the answers still aren't clear to me. We all know what we should be but most are to blind to see what we have not been.

The Crown is a historical fiction Netflix series created and written by Peter Morgan, depicting the life and the coming to power of Queen Elizabeth II.

Various novels have introduced the American Dream and its importance in succeeding long term goals. Lorraine Hansberry, author of A Raisin in the Sun, had given a different standpoint on the dream; that the American Dream is not equally accessible to all Americans. Many believe that the dream is a gateway to a lifetime of riches and various opportunities to achieve one’s goals. If this is the definition to which we view the American Dream, we are not confirming that the dream is equally accessible to everyone in the country. The American Dream is not equally accessible to everyone living in America because of the racial discrimination, income rates, as well as the evolution of workplaces.

A higher education has long been a staple of the American Dream. Millennial students, however, have been rudely awakened to find their dreams turn into nightmares. Millennials have been forced to lease their livelihoods to the federal government in hopes of obtaining a better future. They find themselves being scolded by politicians and citizens alike for being, ‘lazy’, ‘entitled’, and ‘ungrateful.’ They are blamed for the trend of increasing student loans and default rates because of their ‘carelessness’ when the root of the problem originates from the decades of government recklessness and public neglect. Students are forced to take out loans to finance their education because of perpetually decreasing federal funding which is fueled by the fact that upon graduation students who are fortunate enough to be employed simply don’t earn enough. Without well-paying jobs, graduates cannot pay back their student loans and thus find themselves in a perpetual cycle of indebtedness; a cycle which can lead to not only the next economic recession, but can also lead to a social regression. In order alleviate the student debt crisis and revive the American Dream, the government must reform the federal student loan repayment program by extending coverage to all students and by extending the time students are given to repay their debts.
