I Have An American Dream

I had a dream last night of a surprise birthday party arranged by a reality show, I’m pretty sure it happened somewhere in America.

The story went like this, so I lived in some kind of slump or somewhere alike among its small alleys and packed inhabitants with my middle lower family. The weather was really bad that day, the sky went all black with heavy heavy cloud, and I didn’t hope much for my birthday.

Then suddenly, I think it was the host of Home Extreme Makeover, what’s that guy’s name anyway, Ty Pennington! Yes, it was Ty himself with the whole neighborhood come barge into my small front yard, all bubbly and in celebration mood saying that they’d prepared everything we needed to celebrate my birthday party. And so after it everybody and I seemed to enjoy the in house surprise party though the weather was still in its darkest mood.

My thought to this dream is does American Dream really exist?

Is it real that it’s considered as the land of opportunities?

with all the reality shows and seeing Oprah giving hands to the needy,

with my friend telling me that he and some friends are having their own business by loan and that they could earn the money they owed in just a few months?

How about Chris Gardner’s “pursuit of happyness” as I quote from his website

“that a hunger for learning, hard work, and never giving up on the people who make you truly "wealthy," can break destructive cycles and propel anyone to unlimited heights - no matter who they are, where they come from, or what their circumstances may be.”

Does achieving this dream thingy coming from our own willingness to keep pursuing our goals or is it just simply, again, things are easier in America?

If it is true then could I be a part of most people’s dream, to reach my American Dream as well...
