https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream Tell our Pen Pals: How does the American Dream affect your life? What do you want to do when you grow up? Do you think living in the USA will help you reach those goals more easily? en-us 2018-11-30 15:58:22 UTC 2023-12-01 14:39:21 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Cornershop.png ryona_gilmore028 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309897679 The American Dream affects your future in many ways: your job, the people you surround yourslef with, and your lifestyle. In the present, the American Dream affects me because I can be anything I want to be, practice any religion, or think any opinion without being prosecuted or degraded. I want to be a neurologist when I grow up. I think that living in the USA will be a catalyst in helping me reach these goals because I can be anything I want to be and I will have a variety of different resources available to me to do reach these goals. ]]> 2018-11-30 17:55:28 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309897679 madeleine_mcdermit634 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309898059 No, the American Dream does not affect my life.  I want to be a optometrist, meaning I would help people get a prescription for their eyes for glasses. I guess if i were living anywhere it could help if they have optometry school.   ]]> 2018-11-30 17:56:15 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309898059 katie_nash082 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309898283 It lets me know that I can do anything I want to do in life. I want to be either a special education teacher or a forensic scientist like a detective. Yes, because they have very good colleges and job opportunities and we usually aren't limited by social cues of others of what we want to do. ]]> 2018-11-30 17:56:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309898283 olivia_mullins873 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309898574 It tells me that I can be whatever I want to be in life, and also anything can be anything. I want to be a photographer when I grow up. Yes, I do think that, but I also think that there are many other places that can help me with it. ]]> 2018-11-30 17:57:14 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309898574 donovan_williams671 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901164 life]]> 2018-11-30 18:02:12 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901164 franchesca_sattler003 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901282 Overall, American society emphasizes the idea that an individual can be anything more than other societies do. I think the concept of the American Dream is motivating to a lot of people, and it plays a fairly large role in the flexibility of available professions in the US. Personally, I would like to go to college and major in something involving the medical field. I don't think that living in the US would help me reach my specific career goals more easily, but I know there are certain professions that benefit from the ideology of the American Dream.]]> 2018-11-30 18:02:24 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901282 deepa_mainali583 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901549 you can achieve anything no matter where you came from]]> 2018-11-30 18:02:52 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901549 abby_villanueva_puga380 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901585 The American Dream to me means an opportunity.  This dream affects my life to some extent because if this ideal wasn't made then it might eliminate the idea that anyone can achieve anything with hard work and determination.

Yes and no it depends on what I'd like to do.]]> 2018-11-30 18:02:56 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309901585 watty_abasaba958 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309902048 I want to be a forensic scientist or a detective.]]> 2018-11-30 18:03:50 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309902048 simbarashe_kanyongo990 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309902760 I want to be a forensic scientist or a detective.]]> 2018-11-30 18:05:09 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309902760 watty_abasaba958 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309904065 yes it would be easier to live in the usa because you have more opportunity]]> 2018-11-30 18:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309904065 simbarashe_kanyongo990 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309904453 Living in the us would be easier because you can be easier to be succesful]]> 2018-11-30 18:08:22 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309904453 simbarashe_kanyongo990 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309904756 I don't know how the American dream affects me]]> 2018-11-30 18:08:55 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309904756 abigail_addo601 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309925472 American dream affect my life because it allows me to have an opportunity in education and to pick a choice to what I want my future to be.

It allows me to surround myself with the people that I want, opportunity, and equality. I have rights that I know that I wouldn't if I lived anywhere else in the world. I am very grateful that I live here because I know that I can prosper through hard work. Especially in college and achieving my dream career. Living in the USA helps because they give you the free rights of education, and we have a very good educational system here in the US. ]]> 2018-11-30 18:51:39 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309927763 pratyush_shrestha448 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309928368 I am a immigrant ,so i have the right to belief in anything I want,I want to be a Astronomer,Yes, that is why i moved to USA.]]> 2018-11-30 18:52:48 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309928368 awa_cisse604 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309930320 The American dream affects my life through allowing me to live freely in America I would love to be a entrepreneur when I grow older and eventually land my company in the fortune 500.

My parents wanted to successfully achieve the American Dream, which they did, & because of that I am very grateful to live the life I lead today. When I grow up, I want to live in a big city (either New York, Chicago, or London) and do something in the English field, and if that doesn't work out, I'd like to at least do something that makes me happy. I do think living in the USA will help me achieve my goals, because I have access to many resources like at my fingertips, and it is the norm to go to college after high school, which is what I would like to do.]]> 2018-11-30 19:21:16 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309944176 alexandra_coughlin598 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309944493 It means that everyone has the opportunity to succeed. It gives me the chance to learn what I need and to go to school to become the person i want to be (even with the debt). I want to be a doctor.

I am given lots of different opportunities to explore in different things such as sports, music, language, history, science, math, etc. I think living in the USA does help me reach more potential and experience more opportunities than some other places. It is hard for me to choose what I want to be when I grow up as I am highly indecisive. I like many things, but am not very passionate on one select field. Hopefully I can figure it out.  ]]> 2018-11-30 19:23:03 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309945153 madeleine_hunt410 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309945367 The american dream to me means being happy.

I want to join the medical career, whether with people or animals. I don't think living in the U.S. makes future decisions more easier. It may be easier to find a job or apply to colleges since there's so many, but I don't think location determines the difficulty of the future path people take.]]> 2018-11-30 19:24:53 UTC https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309946249 mckay_bornschlegl419 https://padlet.com/carolyn_hatcher1/americandream/wish/309946293 The American Dream affects my life because I'm American.
