American Dream Essay Exemplar 2
You may be asking what the American Dream is. Well if you are I am here to tell you. The
American Dream is what each and every person wants in their life, whether it be to become
famous or to become rich and have a successful life. A person’s American Dream is
essentially their life goal, and the main thing they wish to accomplish in life. Everyone has a
right to their own dream, as long as they set a goal and really work towards it throughout
their life. Most or everyones American Dream has to do with helping others or making the
world a better place, whether it be by creating a new car, or even creating a new type of
video game you are impacting the world and slowly making America a better place. In order
to make your American Dream come true you have to expect challenges and obstacles to
get in your way while trying to achieve you Dream, You can't expect to go to bed and wake
up a millionaire. You're going to have to make sacrifices to make your dream a reality. I know
that everyones Dream is different, and some may take some more work to achieve than
others, but if your American Dream is to easy to achieve is it truly your real American
Dream? For example if you say your American Dream is to eat a sandwich for a lunch, this
really isn’t a valid Dream. An American Dream is your life goal, and if your life goal is to
make a sandwich, then go ahead I can’t stop you. Its your life after all. But in my opinion your
American Dream should take some hard work and dedication, and should have a great
reward. Like I said some goals are easier to achieve than others but that is no excuse to quit
trying and working towards your goal. With hard work and dedication comes a good reward. I
believe that everyone has the ability to make their American Dream come true, no matter
how hard or easy it seems. Nothing is impossible. As long as you stay positive and you think
positive it is possible so don't say it isn’t. Here is an inspirational quote from Martin Luther
King Jr. “If you can't fly, then run. If you can't run, then walk. If you can't walk then crawl. But
whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.” As you can see you should never give
up, and that is one of the key factors that you will need to follow in order to achieve your
American Dream. The reason I think any dream is possible to achieve is because take a look
at what other people have done around us in the world. A few examples of people who prove
that nothing is impossible are, Martin Luther King Jr, and Rosa Parks. These two individuals
made their American Dream in life to help others and to change the world forever, and they
did just that. They changed the world forever, by saying what was on their mind and working
towards their goal and it ended up paying off. If Martin Luther King Jr. and other people like
him hadn't of done the things they did, and made their dream to end segregation, the world
today would be a lot different. So like I said before anything is possible.
My American Dream is to have a family, and to play in the MLB. I understand how
hard these goals will be to achieve, especially playing in the MLB. But I am willing to try my
hardest to overcome obstacles and achieve my goal. I want to have a family with kids, and
provide the best I can for them to give them and myself the best life possible. Whether it be
by taking them to the park or making them dinner, I am willing to try to the best of my abilities
to make their and my dream come true. I know how hard it is to get into the MLB and that a
lot of people try and only a few get in, and i'm going to be one of those few people because I
am willing to do whatever it takes to achieve my goal. I will practice everyday, and try my
hardest. And even if I don't get into the MLB in 1 or 2 or even 3 years I will keep on trying
and trying until my dream becomes a reality. My dream is similar to everyone elses dream
because if you really think about it everyone wants the same thing. Which to have the best
life possible. For example if someone wants to join the army and if someone wants to have a
family, both of these people want the same thing. They both want to live their lives to the
fullest and achieve their goals, whether that be by helping others like fighting in the army, or
having a family and caring and loving for them. Everyone faces challenges while trying to
achieve their American Dream no matter how hard or easy it is to achieve. In order to make
my dream a reality I am going to have to face many challenges. One of the biggest
challenges I will face while trying to get into the MLB is seeing people who are better than
me at the sport, and also seeing people achieving their goals and not me. When I see these

things i'm not going to give up instead when I see these things it will inspire me to work
harder so that I can reach my goal just like they did. No matter how big or small you dream
is, work hard and you will achieve it.
I do believe that anyone can achieve their goal and can live the American Dream as
long as they expect challenges. Sometimes life is tough and you aren’t always going to get
what you want, so you have to take life as it comes and face your challenges and fears in
order to achieve you goal. One time in history where not everyone could have their own
dream was when racism and segregation was going on. Only whites were allowed to have
what they want. African Americans did have the right to education and other things but it was
nowhere as good of quality as the other races like the whites had. For example a school for
just whites back then would have all the expensive textbooks, better teachers, and even
small things like the bathrooms would be a lot better quality. But if you were to go to a school
for just African Americans the quality of the school would be a lot worst. For example they
would get tore and ripped textbooks, and not as well educated teachers, and even the
bathrooms or gym equipment would be in bad shape. Because of segregation african
Americans were not able to live their own dream, but whites were. And many people who
have helped shape what America is today said they thought this was wrong and stood up for
what they believed in. One of the most well known people who helped stop segregation is
Martin Luther King Jr. He is a very important person, and unlike fighting with guns and
bombs, he fought with words. Martin Luther King Jr. accomplished his dream peacefully
without fighting, even when other people wanted to fight he chose not to. One of most
famous speeches which is his “I have a dream speech” helped end segregation, and helped
other people realize that racism is wrong, and after a lot of struggles and obstacles racism
and segregation was finally put to an end at least here in America. There are still some
countries where people can't live out their dream. So it is important that we don't take what
we have for granted, and that we try to help each other who aren’t as fortunate as we are.
Like I said before the American Dream is a person’s main goal in life, or the main
thing they want to accomplish in life no matter how big or small the dream may be. Everyone
has the right to live their American Dream, and everyone’s dream is different but truly they
are all the same. Two peoples dreams could be completely different but they could still both
want the same thing in reality. For example if a person wanted to be a firefighter, and
another person wanted to be a scientist. Both of these jobs help people in one way or
another, so as you can see the American Dream usually has to do with helping others, or
protecting others. I would say that people do have different perspectives on the American
Dream. Some people might think that everyone’s dream is to become a millionaire, and that
peoples American Dream’s only have to do with themselves. While other could believe that
the everyone’s American Dream has to do with helping each other and making the world a
better place, which is what my perspective on the American Dream is. Although I think that
everyone knows that everyone has a right to their own dream, and that everyone’s dream in
one way or another is different. I think that in order for a successful life you need to believe in
the American Dream. If you have no goal in life, then when you grow up you will have
nothing to look forward to or try to achieve, but if you do believe in the American Dream.
Then when you grow up you will have a goal in life, and something you want to accomplish in
your life. Without an American Dream I feel that your life would be pointless, because you
wouldn't have anything you want to do or accomplish. But if you do have a dream, then you
will have a point in life and something to look forward to in the future. This is just my opinion
on my American Dream, and remember nothing is impossible!
