What is the American Dream?

The American dream is truly a very simple dream. The American dream is to do “whatever the fuck you want.” In no other country in the world does every citizen have the freedoms that we take for granted every day. In no other country can any man, woman, or child rise to a position of power and change the world around them. It is said that any child growing up can become president. Although this may seem unlikely it is indeed true. The American dream is to dream big and pursue that dream. If the American is willing to work and put forth effort there is literally no limit to what can be achieved. In America very little is given, everything must be taken. If you want it and you work for it, it can be yours. The mantra of our founding fathers was to unite a nation of diversity that relied on freedom as its core principal. Success is not unattainable to anyone race, age, gender, or socioeconomic status. Although this success must be worked for, it is not out of reach to anyone. Through this American dream children from sea to shining sea can achieve anything. Impossible is nothing.
