The american dream is the most beautiful and influential idea in the world. Men and women from all over the world look to america and see what we have and the opportunities we can give and that to them is the american dream, that idea that chance is what any person should strive for and can one day achieve. However in the eyes of someone who grew up in america who has never known anything different the american dream is going to school, graduating, attending college, finding your career, Find love, buy house, have kids. That is what the american dream is to me.
