I still remember the first medical kit my mom bought me, a small white plastic box that contained a medical chart, a stethoscope, and an abnormally large syringe. Ever since I was little I remember wanting to be a doctor. However, as I grew, it became so much more than just an intrigue for the human body and the mysterious ways it functions. In fact, I began to realize just how much good I could accomplish as a doctor. It is the desire to help people that motivates me to work hard to become a doctor; it is the one thing that keeps me moving forward. My biggest dream is to someday travel to third world countries with medical campaigns and help those who need it the most. Throughout my life, there have been many events that have incentivized

    There are various individuals throughout the world who believe that the American Dream cannot be achieved by all people. Those who agree with this view believe that our culture contains too many roadblocks and obstacles. Some of these obstacles include prejudice, poverty, and social inequality. Another view on this matter is that others believe that America is the “Land of Opportunity”. They also believe that if you can believe it, you can achieve it. Back in the early 20th century, The American Dream meant something to people; nowadays it is a term that various people loosely throw around. The American Dream is not realistic because it is not attainable to everyone like Cal Thomas presumes and although education, budget cuts and lack of employment may seem of some concern to only a small group of people, it should in fact concern anyone who cares about the status of the economy.

    “A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.” - Colin Powell. I had to show hard work and dedication everyday of the summer. I had to sweat and go through some pain this summer during weights. Once it was over I saw the results, and I was very satisfied with what I had accomplished. The summer kind of showed me some traits that are both needed for my summer and for the American Dream like hard work, dedication, and perseverance.

  • Achieving My American Dream

    It's been twenty years now since my wife and I arrived on the Promised Land. I can remember even now, very clearly, how scared we were. As time went by, I realized that on top of my wonderful family I had something very precious here: an adoptive country that welcomed us with open arms. This provided us with the support network we needed to feel home. Why am I choosing diplomacy? We’ve always been proud for achieving our dream to become Americans. I grew up with my grandfather pointing to the skies and reassuring me that one day the Americans will come to save us. This was happening behind the Iron Curtain, in Communist Romania. Growing up, I experienced fear of the secret police, bread queues and other nasty manifestations of life in a one-party

    Seventy-seven men waddled gracefully down the track, their hips gyrated to and fro; in an instant I was hooked. Like most human beings whose minds have ascended beyond hunting and gathering, I have a dream that reaches far past what I can see. I dream of the Olympics, multicolored rings, displays of aggressive flag bearing patriotism, and of course, the fabled medals. I dream of being an Olympic race walker. My fascination with the Olympics, and it’s most highly prized event, began two years ago, when Brazil was allowed to light the torch in her city of Rio de Janeiro. Whilst casually perusing my television set I absentmindedly turned to the games, only to see my destiny before me, the men’s 20 kilometer race walk. Up until that point I had been like the majority of my fellow Americans, vigorously and energetically cheering on my nations handball or canoe team before tuning them out for the next four years. But with a sport that I could seemingly do with little to no effort, I began dreaming of gold. Like George Sheldon (look him up) I dived headfirst into the pools of the Olympics, researching their history top to bottom, from every last minute miracle, to every heart breaking blunder. But as I peeled away

    After a long day of work, I drive up to the white picket fence surrounding my Cape Cod style home. The tulips are in full bloom, and I can hear my children giggle through the whistling oaks of my backyard. This is a dream of mine. To own a house to call home is a destiny I hope to achieve one day. In today’s society, the millennials are caught up in moving around and never stopping to rest. Some young adults are choosing not to have children. All of these conditions make for a person not to want homeownership, but in what I have parlayed from my peers, that is not the case. There is still hope, and home ownership is in many of our futures. The American dream of homeownership is still reality for those of us who want stability, a family, and a place to call home.
