America has always been a golden country for people from all around the world. Immigrants came to America with high expectations. People heard many stories of all the land, job opportunities in America, so they decide to come. At the same time, when arriving, it was not what they had expected. Although industry aid immigrants with work and new technology, but most immigrants found that living in American was very difficult. They struggle with long hours work and low wages. They also dealt with…
In America, the idea of the “American Dream” was what drove most Americans or illegal immigrants to try their best to prosper. In a time of great depression and war, the human condition allowed us to focus one thing only and that was to survive. American workers were the backbone of the industrial revolution that created the country we so proudly call “the greatest nation in the world”.

America is one of the best countries in the world, it isn’t called the land of opportunity for nothing. Although, there are still problems within the country that cloud the vision of the “American Dream”.

Poverty in America knows no color, 14% of Americans live in poverty, according to the Huffington Post, and the number…

These people dream of living the good life and being relieved from wars caused…
Dreams of the Future America is, and always has been, a complicated mosaic of people with different cultures, values, and backgrounds. There are so many categories and subcategories of people that Americans can’t possibly be defined within one national culture, as in most countries do. However, America is not just a blend of people who meaninglessly land in the US. The mass of people who risked everything to come to America all came because of one hope; the hope of a better life for themselves…

We all have a story that is untold. One that not many people are not aware of. The story that made you who you are today or who you will become in the future. As I am listening to Maria Covarrubias I can see the pain in her eyes as she recounts her story. The pain that I was not aware of until now. My mother came to the United States of America at a very young age. She came here to fulfill her dreams of coming to California “El Norte” for a better future. However, not all things turned out like…

Some have ideas about making our country a better place and some just believe that America is great the way it is. In the meantime, I would love to be one of those people that are trying to make America a better place. My visions for America are education, freedoms, and military. The first vision that I have for America deals with education. Education is…
