Essay / Effects of the American Dream - 1113
The American Dream is the idea that anyone, regardless of education and background, has the ability to pursue their desires through hard work and dedication. The idea of a better life has attracted many people from all over the world to pursue their dreams and create a new life for themselves in the United States. The taste for the American dream has become a particularly sought-after concept that has attracted many people to the United States. In fact, this framework has been around for generations and could have contributed to the diversity of our country. However, with the recent economic crisis that America has faced in recent years, is the American dream still achievable and will it cease to exist? The economy is not so big that many immigrants emigrated to the United States to escape poverty and a monarchical society, to start a new life and have a chance to get rich. Generations and centuries later, the concept is still applied and provides hope that everyone can overcome scarcity for those who are self-determined.

This may explain why, in the lower classes, education is heavily emphasized even before a child is old enough to have been born into poverty before I was even born. My lifestyle was defined before I even existed. Growing up, I was strongly encouraged to devote my energy to my schoolwork. Knowing that one day all this hard work and dedication will pay off. It wasn’t until my senior year of high school that I realized the true importance of pursuing a college education. The only reason I excelled in my studies was because I was always forced, so when I decided to continue my studies, I didn't know what to do. I decided that even with a degree in today's economy, it wouldn't have much impact. But I couldn't have been more wrong. I finally came to my senses and decided for myself that all my years of studying, planning for my future, long hours of hard work and perseverance should not be wasted. I should not waste my own intelligence and abandon what is important. For me, a lower-class civilian, the American dream is very much alive and attainable. And this guarantees me a better life in the future. I decided to go to college because although I knew I needed to continue my education, I never realized how important it was for my future and well-being to have this knowledge and to use them to make better use of them. Even though I don't come from a wealthy background and will have to work twice as hard as others, I believe that as long as I stay
