On the American Dream test created by the Ford Foundation, I received a 53 out of 100. I expected a score around here so I was not too shocked but it does still help me remain grateful for everything that I have been given. This score does seem extremely accurate because I have been extremely fortunate to have grown up in an upper class home in one of the safest and affluent neighborhoods in the city of Chicago.
