What Does The American Dream Mean to Me?
I still miss beautiful beaches in Nigeria. I also miss my
family, my friends, my house, and my business over there.
Most of all, I miss my native food.

What the American Dream Means to Me
According to me, the American dream means a lot of
things such as opportunities, freedom, and the ability to
improve a better life. But as a non-native American, I know
that achieve this dream will be harder. The first thing you
think about before you go to United States , it’s the
opportunities , but it’s not the same thing for everyone
because each Immigrant have their own goal, it can be a
great opportunity to go to college, or to work. You already
knew that, this country can improve your chance in the
prosperity and success you want to accomplish. It’s a dream
and also a right that anyone can achieve it, although you
must work hard to build your own American dream.
It’s also about freedom in different ways like religion,
politics and many ways, it’s one of these reasons, people
find interesting in this country. It’s maybe not perfect, but a
lot of people try to make it better, and sometimes they fight
for this right. When you live as a free men with the
possibility to be whatever you want for example you could
be a star, a doctor, an engineer, or be completely different
and still be accepted by the society. It’s unbelievable, for a
lot of countries it’s impossible right now. There is
something else this dream means to me for example you
know that, you can get a better life and you can also
improve this life in many ways if you work as hard as
possible. There is something I really like to think about, it’s
when someone who was poor for a long time then he finds
or creates something new or interesting will make him a
rich man. And also if you only do what you like such as
cooking, you maybe can be the chef at White House if you
are really good. So, that’s what it means to me The
American Dream like a lot of opportunity for everyone, a
freedom unbelievable in different ways and a lot of prospect
