My personal American dream is to be successful in life with whatever career I have, to not have to worry too much about money and to have a great family. I want to be able to complete this dream for myself and my
Do you have an American Dream? What does it consist of? How will you pursue it? What 's your purpose for it? People tend to set their American Dream based on their past, their current situation in life, or generally on what they think is best for them.
For my Diverse Field Experience this semester, I spent fifteen hours at the Mclean County Juvenile Detention Center. This particular center was occupied by about 8-14 juveniles at a time, all depending on court dates and occupancy of other nearby detention centers. This center usually had 3 staff members working the shift every time I went, which was seven to nine on weekday afternoons. I was intrigued to go to at this time because I thought it would be the time of the day were the juveniles had no school work or other obligations to do while I was there. I wanted to see what they liked to do in the free time before bed, the only stipulation being mandatory snack time at eight pm.
It has been twenty years in the making to create myself. I started out sheltered. So to say, hidden from the real world. Being born and raised it out it the middle of a corn field was rough, but not what you would consider rough. It was all about take it or leave, or fix it or do without.
With that being said, it is almost better if you get your own perception on what you want your American Dream to be. “(Fareed Zakaria) said that he figured out how America operated just by watching tv”. I’m still trying to figure out how you can distinctly put together an American dream by just watching Tv, but it is easy when you turn on your TV and all you see is beautiful houses,woman,cars, etc so I could see how easy it could be to to visualize an American dream just by hitting the power button on your
My dream of success is to grow through unique experiences and becoming self-sufficient and
My goal is to help people who are in a similar situation as mine. I recognize that I always had teachers, friends, and mentors who pushed me to be my best. This was the main reason that helped me believe in myself and never allowed me to give up on my dreams. Yes- the “American Dream” is difficult to achieve, but it is not
My favorite season by far would be autumn, winter as a close second. Autumn has always been a season of peaceful business, beautiful colors, and the best flavor ever: pumpkin. With its dying plants that equal gorgeous drives and Halloween where we get free candy and can run around dressed as crazy people without anyone batting an eye. Lots of things happen in autumn, it’s a season of change. I have had a lot of changes throughout the years, one was quite recent actually, I passed my senior moves in the field with a bit of drama.
Although everyone has a different idea of the American Dream, they used to all be pretty similar. It used to be that everyone’s dream was to get a good job that they enjoyed so they could
My history as a writer has been a bit of a struggle of slow development. From a young age I had a hard time with spelling and this is still a trouble area for me, even with the help of autocorrect. As I grew in age and as a writer my problematic area became not including enough nitty gritty details. My bad experiences that I recall would always involve the start of writing because I struggle with beginning paragraphs. Also, I tend to use the ending paragraph to just repeat myself, so overall my first and last paragraphs are usually shit.
Some dreams were not accomplished due to many reasons. “All dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” This book is all about one’s personal determination and perseverance to create new and
"Go ahead, you wuss, only three more reps," I murmured under my breath. I was in the rec center, doing twists. It had been a difficult day, so I chose to torment myself intentionally. (I here and there marvel about my own rational soundness.) Some prevalent pop tune was playing on the radio, yet I was overlooking it, obviously.
As I grow up, my ideal concepts of my American Dream will evolve into something bigger or different. One thing I do know is that my goal to be successful at what I do will never change, it will only grow
Why do people want to become teachers? There is low pay, long hours, little benefits, students have more rights than teachers. I want to be a teacher because I want to make a difference and change every child’s heart that I come into contact with. Teaching is one of those jobs where you get to be an undercover angel, because you are able to effect so many different lives by caring and teaching. You matter not only to one person in an office, but for 18-20 kids.
A sense of accomplishment is invaluable to a person. Not only does a sense of accomplishment build confidence and faith in oneself, but it also allows one to reflect on how wonderful the journey to the accomplishment was, and how every little struggle and triumph was worth it. In the middle of summer, where time seems endless and the stress of the previous school year has been shed by students, I never expected to find out that I scored a five on both of the advanced placement exams I took. Nor did I have one-hundred percent confidence the goals we set as section leaders of the marching band would actually be met. Yet to my surprise, I had the good fortune of accomplishing challenging things in both aspects of my life.
