The American Dream

     I define the American Dream as being a citizen of the United States and being able to freely voice your opinion. Sometimes I forget how lucky I am to live in the United States. When my mom was growing up, she lived in communist Poland. To this day she is amazed when the Democratic and Republican Conventions happen, because at that time in Poland speaking so openly about the government would be illegal. My interpretation of the American Dream is different from other people's because my mom is a big influence to me.
