The Americam Dream

What is the American Dream?

The American Dream today is based on success, happiness, and money. The reason I think this is because people go through all those years of schooling to become successful. In return for being successful you make money, and because of money you can get and do the things you want, which in return makes you happy.

Happiness is not all about money; it also has to do with love. Lets first start off talking about the success, and money part. American children start school at the tender age of four. In Pre School you are taught to get along with other kids, share, and color in the lines. In Kindergarten you learn how to reading and write and in some schools a little simple addition, and subtracting. Then from there you move on to grade school, first grade through fifth grade. These years you are taught lot of math, reading, writing, penmanship and script. You also get a taste of history.

When you get to middle school you learn more in depth about everything you learned in earlier years. Finally in High School, everything you have learned is intensified, and you get prepared for collage... Then you have to make a decision, if you want to be successful and make a lot of MONEY. If you want to make a lot of money you have to go to collage, for another four years, at the end of that ordeal you can settle in with Bachelors degree, or another one or two years for a masters. This will bring a decent income. But if you want the really good jobs you need another three or four years to get a doctorate degree, or a law degree.

What I have just described is what a modern American kid has to go through to be considered successful and to have money, I mean we are talking about 22 years of different types of school.Thats almost thirty percent of your life spent in school so the rest of your years can be good ones. Lastly I will discuss happiness. Many people think haplessness revolves around money,
