Many people from all over the world come to The United States to pursue their American Dream. An American Dream is to most people the ideal of complete happiness, whether that is living in a big house with a lot of nice things, or just finding that one person who can truly make you happy.

The United states is a great country full of even better opportunities. each person has the unalienable rights of “Life liberty and the pursuit of happiness” (Declaration of Independence). The ideal of the American dream is that each and every person will get exactly what they want, though this is not always the case.

I know that I work hard towards my goals and if i keep up the way up the way i'm going I don't think there should be any reason that i should come away with anything less than what i dream for. “All men are created equal” (Declaration of Independence) I am no different from any person in the U.S, The country is laid upon the foundation of that each and every person has the opportunity to pursue their American Dream. That's what the founding fathers hoped for this country during the American
