The American Dream is not only having a house and a fortune. They American Dream according to my parents, is to have the things you value the most with you, and how hard you have to work to get to them. My mom and dad came to the U.S to offer us a better life. Unfortunately in Mexico the economy is not the best. It is really hard to get a job that pays you enough to mantain a family. According to them they saw many people struggling with their families and she didn't want the same for us. She heard that The United States offered many opportunities to work, and so they migrated here. They decided to move with the purpose os making the American Dream come true.
When my parents moved here they started working we lived about six years with my grandparents but then my dad saw that he was being payed enough to get our own apartment, and so we did. He knew right then that our American Dream was taking its first steps. So we had our own apartment for about three years when my parents decided to buy a house. After a long process they finally did. That ment we had already completed part of the American Dream. But my parents realized that the real meaning for it was the persuit of happiness. They noticed that being happy was really what mattered the most and that there is nothing that can buy the smile of the ones you love. Therefore, the meaning to my parents id the persuit of happiniess with the things or ones that you value the most, that is the true meaning of the American Dream.

hey it is realy nice to hear how family wanted a better life for you guys. ANd it may have been good to come here and get a better job. It doesnt matter how long it takes to accomplished a goal but the important thing is that you do it. Tell your parents that all of the dream they have will sooner or later come.
Hi Tania thanks for commenting my blog. Life, liberty and happiness are what the America Dream can be also based on and as citizens of the WORLD WE HAVE A RIGHT Of FOLLOW AND MAKE THE DREAMS WE HAVE TRUE. SO make sure that nothing stop your parents from giving up on their dreams for you and those they haven't dreamed of.
HEY THANIA I AGREE WITH YOUR PARENTS ON THEIR AMERICAN DREAM BEING THE PERSUIT OF HAPPINESS BECAUSE WHATS THE POINT OF AHVING ALL THE MONEY IN THE WORLD AND NOT BE HAPPY AT ALL. PEOPLE ARE ALWAYS BASED ON THEIR CHARACTER AND IMMIGRANTS WANT TO BE KNOWN BY WHO THEY ARE AND WHAT THEY DO NOT BY A PAPER THAT SAYS IF THEY BELONG HERE OR NOT. BUT WHAT GOALS HAVE YOUR PARENTS ACOMPLISHE AND HOW DID THEY ACCOMPLISH THEM? WAS IT WORTH IT FOR THEM TO STAY HERE?
