I believe that the "American Dream" is not just a goal, but an unrealistic one that adults put into your head to help keep you motivated. Adults tell us things like "you could be president one day". Which is not true at all. The possibilities of me becoming the president of the U.S. are slim to none. It's a unrealistic goal, a lie. Nevertheless, it does keep me going and makes me work harder in school, thinking that I someday can become president. Somewhere along the way I find what I want to become and start to believe that I could achieve that goal, which then becomes my American Dream.
