The American Dream
The American Dream, something everyone’s thought about, something everyone wants to achieve. Whether they dream to achieve something personally, socially, or professionally, they cannot deny that they do not want to achieve it. My personal American Dream is that we as a country never lose the freedom that has been provided to us by our founding fathers and the soldiers who have fought for it.
Long ago our founding fathers wrote a Constitution. In the Constitution they stated that we as citizens have the right to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness. Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness means that we can live the way we want, worship the way we want, talk the way we want, and do what makes us happy. It means freedom. We as a country were long ago given freedom, and as Americans we should hope to never lose it.
Although we have freedom, it is not an easy thing to keep. There have been many soldiers who have given their lives so that their loved ones would be able to be free. There are also many soldiers who have been wounded or are still fighting for our freedom. Also before we left England a person could not worship the way they wanted, live the way they wanted, and had no say in a leader, that made a lot of people angry. When our founding fathers decided to write the constitution they knew that there would be a war, and that England would try all they could to stop them from starting their own country, but people were willing to do it for hopes that they would be able to live better, they went through a lot trying to make sure that future generations would be free and not have to live like them, for hopes of not disappointing them I hope our freedom remains.
Freedom comes at a price. That price is never an easy one to pay, but many Americans are willing to make that sacrifice, to keep the freedom, the American Dream
