Everybody has dreams. As a child, people may have had the dream of being a rock star or superhero. In middle school, people could’ve dreamed of being a doctor. Then when they reach high school, they have dreams that must be realistic. They must make decisions about their future, and sometimes their judgement is clouded by unrealistic desires. Dreams are wonderful and terrible things all in one. Some people have dreams of spending all their time helping others, and making the world a better place. While other people dream of horrible things that could ruin their lives and others. So today when we look at these three different pieces we will analyze the different types of dreams and the way they affected people.…
However, having aspirations and goals in life gives us a sense of purpose in all areas of our life. When our aspirations merge with our dreams does possibility begin to override reality?…
We all have dreams Our dreams They remain dreams We do not pursue our dreams alone, We have someone by our side…
Someone always has to have a goal in life, whether it be a short term or long term goal. Some goals may be to go to college, some may be to get married. But, some of these goals may be to make a 90 on a Spanish test on Friday or make a 3-point shot at the basketball game Thursday night. Every person has his or her personal goals that they try to achieve to keep them encouraged and inspired and without these goals, dreams to be a basketball player or a teacher would not imprint themselves in the hearts and minds of people everywhere. So, dreams are important because they keep people encouraged and inspired to do something…
Most people are only searching for their own rendition of success, which could mean money, land, an occupation or family. This “dream” can come from a childhood imagination or the hope of a better life. To fulfill these said dreams, each person…
Pursuing the Dream The American Dream was an idea that was developed in the early colonial times. The idea that one could become something much greater than the position they had in society that was established by a hierarchy. People would have to live in the conditions that they were raised in for their entire life and their future generations would continue in the same position. Based on many barriers and eras that have occurred, the idea of the American dream has been altered but the goal still remains the same to obtain what that person most desires, to have that “happiness” in what it wants to accomplish.…

What is the American Dream, and who are the people most likely to pursue its…
People may say that they can’t reach the dream because it is too hard to reach it. Personally I think that can be true in some ways but, someone can still do the best they can and maybe make some adjustments to the dream. I know if the work was hard I would try to make the best of…
This change can be seen through illustrations of the ideal futures of various decades. From 1915 to the 1980s, the idea that anyone could achieve the “ultimate dream” stayed the same, while the ultimate dream itself changed from the want to make one’s own way in the world, to having a perfect family, and finally to having the most possessions. However, in recent years young people have stopped believing that anyone could achieve anything through hard work - although these Americans still have a dream of having a nice house, a family, and a job, this is a dream that is no longer uniquely American. The concept of being able to achieve anything by working hard and persevering, and the fact that this was actually possible in America, is what made the American dream so important. Today, the American Dream is mostly considered unattainable, and is now considered more of a historical concept than it is a modern…
The standard “dream” isn’t that bad of a choice for an outcome of life. You get to have a significant other that you could potentially marry. Have a decent job, find a nice roof over your head. And eventually have kids, and you’d be able to make many memories with them. Like watching your son/daughter take their first steps, or watch them take their first steps onto a college campus. This life would seem nice to most people, having a nice family, a job you don’t despise, and having a roof over your head.…
Many Americans don’t put the effort into their dreams and don’t realize the work that must be put in. Like Tommy Hilfiger said, “The road to success is not easy to navigate, but with hard work, drive and passion, it’s possible to achieve the American Dream.” Having goals and self-motivation will give a person’s life purpose. The American Dream is a reality due to the determination, freedoms, and opportunities given to American citizens.…
Each generation varies their definition of the dream they pursue because of our evolving society. Thirty years ago, a Roper study was conducted to observe people’s values and definition of the American Dream. Originally, people valued “living in an open society in which everyone has an equal chance,” over having freedom of choice, having a rewarding career and family life, and owning a home. All of these values are still significant to the dream, but the order has drastically transformed. In today’s society,“Having freedom of choice in how to live” is most valued, and ““living in an open society in which everyone has an equal chance” has dropped to least valued.…
The American dream is something that people all over the world yearn for. They long to leave their native countries and come to America to escape religious persecution, unstable government, or something similar. Even well-established American citizens can have an American dream of their own. Many young adults, myself included, dream of a successful life where we work hard for what we wish to have. While many foreigners’ American dreams are of a life of freedom in the “Land of Opportunity”, my American dream is to find happiness, success in my life and career, and economic stability.…
All people in the world live their entire lives to become something greater than they actually are. The quest for success in life is never-ending and people are never satisfied with what they have. In the poem "Kindly Unhitch that Star, Buddy" Nash warns not to dream for a goal that cannot be attained, in other words people's long and arduous journey through life is pointless and success is unattainable.…
