Research Paper On My American Dream

My American Dream

"Education is the key to opportunity in our society, and the equality of educational opportunity must be the birthright of every citizen.

"No matter your social status or how powerful you feel you are, we are all equal. We came here by birth and will leave in death."

My American Dream is for all to have educational opportunity and equality. It's my American Dream because I see people die in order to obtain equality and work so hard for educational opportunity yet still get denied. These are very serious problems that need to be fixed in order for us to become stronger and unified as a country.

George Washington once said " Be Americans. Let there be no sectionalism, no North, South, East or West. You are all dependent

on one another and should be one in union. In one word, be a nation. Be Americans, and be true to yourselves." This is a precedent that George Washington has left behind for us to follow yet we still do not. When people are brought together they can do such amazing & beautiful things and be stronger, imagine if we could do that but as a nation. We need to start deciding to stand up together and accomplish it because we can't do it alone. An example of how people have tried to fix inequality is Malala Yousafzai's risk she took to bring education to girls around the world. This risk she took made a huge impact on the entire world and brought hope and faith to many people's eyes that thought that'd never see another day.
She may have gotten injured but this shows how people are willing to risk their lives for equality and if we could all just try together then maybe we could help so many other lives even if it starts small.

What if everyone had the opportunity to go to school and have the ability to be successful? A world where everyone could actually have a chance instead of just being turned away and losing their hopes and dreams like watching a loved one die right in your arms. Today and in the past, there have been many gifted people in our society but some can never take it to good use due to financial or racial issues. This is a problem that affects many when it really shouldn't because everyone has the human right to education and it shouldn't be taken away just because they may be a different race or not have enough money to afford it. Instead, we should work as a country to have a way for those less fortunate people that work very hard to have a possibility of a future. An example of a way we've tried to give others opportunity to education is the Dream Act. The Dream Act is a legislative proposal that allows minors who were brought to the U.S. illegally to have a chance at education. This has helped about a million of minors to use their knowledge and skills to work and have a possibility of a great future. Though it wasn't passed, it still helped many people and it was an amazing start at helping others to succeed.

In conclusion, all should have the opportunity to education and equality no matter who they are, where they came from, their gender, and etc there should be no exception to taking other's freedoms without significant justification.
