My American Dream

My American Dream is to live a happy life where I own a car and a house. I want to be financially stable and have a full-time job. I want to be able to support my family and have two to three children. Being able to afford a living is very important because I don’t want to worry about not having enough money. To achieve my dream I know that I have to be determined and ready to work.

In order to achieve my dream, I have to continue my education after high school. Having a degree is very important when looking for a job because most of the well paid jobs require a college degree. According to the article “Generation Screwed”, the main problem is that college graduates can not find a job that suits their field. Incomes earned by graduates have dropped and they are now competing with high school graduates for basic jobs. This article makes it seem like college is not important. However, if graduate students are competing for basic jobs then people are going to start hiring those with college degrees and the high school graduates will be the ones in trouble.

“Generation Screwed” also states that people have put off their marriage or having a baby and moving back to their parent’s house. I want to have children in the future but I don’t want to be very old when that happens. I am planning to work will going to school and earn enough money to buy my own house. With the scholarships and grants, I’ll hopefully get, it will help me with all my needs in school. The money I’ll save will be used for living needs. I want to own a house and I don’t care if it’s small, as long as I am happy and comfortable where I live.

Even if I can’t find a job that suits my career, I know that I already have my degree ready to be used when a job opportunity come up. Having a degree means that I am well educated and prepared to work in that specific field. I want to have a full-time job that is related to my career, but I am also willing to work in a basic job because in order to get what I want, I need money and I can’t wait around for the perfect job to pop up.

I know that everything is not easy to get, but I need to be focused in order to overcome my obstacles. As long as I do not quit and keep working hard I know that I can achieve my dream. All the hard work that I put in will all be worth it in the end because I will live a good stable life.
