How I Define the American Dream

          I don’t believe there is only one definition of the American Dream.  I truly believe that everyone has their own belief and definition of the American Dream.  I don’t believe that it would be a definition either.  I look at dreams as aspirations and strife.  I see dreams as accomplishments and disappointments.  I see dreams as exactly that a dream.  When I think of the American dream though, I think of the men and women including myself at one point, fighting for this country every day.  I believe that as American’s we stand up as one nation always.  My personal American dream is that every citizen of this nation be treated 110% equal.  My dream is that everyone is given every possible opportunity to achieve their personal dreams.  I dream that I will become a Neurosurgeon, with the support of my family and friends.  In exactly 10 days my partner and I are having a commitment ceremony; my dream is that one day that commitment can be legally called a marriage in all 50 states.  My American dream is that everyone has the opportunity to go to school, receive medical care, and hold a job that they can be proud of.  My American dream is that every American can dream and continue to dream without ever thinking that their dreams are not worth striving for.  In my American dream everyone is proud to call themselves an American.
