Through reading all my peers padlet's and looking at their personal takes, many of them stuck with me. The one that corresponded to my ideas the most was Justin's. This is mainly because he talked about experiencing firsthand racism because of his race and religion and that stuck with me a lot as I experienced the same thing. Because of our race and religion, our chances of achieving the American Dream go down tenfold due to something we can't even control. People may joke about it while we are in school but in the future, it can have a massive impact on your future because of the immense amounts of racism and discrimination within America.

In my opinion, what makes the American Dream appealing is the wealth and status that you get after obtaining it. There would be tons of obstacles to attain the American Dream nowadays in our society. Getting wealthy is much harder now than it was in the past so that means even more work is needed to be successful. Things such as time management and loss of loved ones are major obstacles that might come your way when working your way to the top. This can interfere a lot but to obtain the American Dream, you have to put things like that aside in order to achieve your goals.
