Many people try to do the best and they look for the opportunities for accomplish their goals. My first reason why I agree is because if you work hard in something you going to be successful. My second reason is that you can have a better future. Another reason is that you can do anything that you want.
I agree with Marvin because is true that everybody is capable to accomplish their goals.
I agree with Yanet that many people that came without papers had been successful in their works.]]> 2016-09-23 17:36:57 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090360 Yanet https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090414 I agree that if you work hard you can achieve your goals. If you really want to do something you have to look for new  opportunities. For example I know people that came without document papers and they had been successful in their work and with their family. The first thing you have to do if you going to high school is get you high school diploma so it would help you get more opportunities.                                   * I agree with Marvin because that's true that everyone is capable of achieve what they want, they just have to try hard.                                                                                                                                                 ]]> 2016-09-23 17:37:05 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090414 Cesar Espeleta https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090420 I do not agree with the idea that if you work hard you can achieve anything you want because there is a lot of people that work hard and they still not achieving their goals. The American Dream is not just to work hard, is to do what you want and achieve your goals. If you work hard in a place you don't like and you don't enjoy your goals then what is the purpose of being in a place you don't like.
* I disagree with everyone that says that is agree because a lot of people still working hard and they don't see any achievement.
* I agree with Alicia because it's truth that you work hard but you still stressed because someone is earning more than you.]]> 2016-09-23 17:37:07 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090420 Alicia  😍😗 https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090434 I disagree about the idea of the American Dream is that if we work hard, we can achieve anything we want. The first reason is stress. No matter how much money we have or how happy our family is, we are still stressed about someone being better than us  or someone is earning more. The second reason is the dream itself. No matter how high we reach, we are still wanting to do more in life and being better person than we were yesterday. Third reason why I support this idea is family. One of the relative I know he was innocent when he came from South Korea and wanted to have family in here. But when he heard about people and their success, he wanted to be rich like them which made him divorce with his wife and start a new lonely life. In conclusion, I disagree with American dream about working hard and achieving anything because there is no such word as "ENOUGH" once you start wanting more and more. 


* I agree with Marvin when he stated that everyone is capable of achieving anything yet sometimes we face barriers because no one should say "I give up" and give up on their hopes.
* I also disagree with Mohammed when he said after hard work, it comes success because like I mentioned before, there is no such thing as ENOUGH SUCCESS in life.]]> 2016-09-23 17:37:09 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090434 lizbeth  https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090441
I agree that if u work hard you can achieve anything you want to do because many of the students try their best on school or in some other place. for example people in school do there duty and end up achieve their goals and have a future in life.
 * I agree with Cesar because I know some students do work hard but still not achieve anything. but sometimes u have to just keep on trying till you reach your goals and never give up in life.
  * I agree with Marvin because what he was saying was true because many of us have to go threw obstacles.

My first reason is that you can achieve by what are you good at and just keep practice. Practice makes perfect every single day like at least an hour everyday.  I got an  My second reason is that once you reach your goal then you are proud of yourself by achieve your goal. I think that you should work hard and never give up during your goal and until you reach at the end. My third and final reason is that if you can beat someone's else record then you can stop by 1 point or you can keep up if you want to. For example , I played Quizlet gravity game and I beat someone's record by 6,000 points on Quizlet and I can keep going if I want to and suddenly I stopped. 
I agree with Lizbeth's opinion because if you can work hard at anything then you already achieve your goal. For my other classmate, I agree with Joh's opinion because once you work hard at something then your goal is getting closer and closer. On the otherhand, if you give up then try to stand up again until you reach again and again. ]]> 2016-09-23 17:37:11 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090447 diana :) https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090478 I agree the American Dream that if you work hard you it will pay of later.. My fist reason is to work hard and  your going to be successful in life. My second reason is to achieve your goals because when you achieve your goal your going to have really great opportunities. My final reason is graduate high school because now when your want to get a job their going to ask you for a high school diploma. 

i agree with joh when she said said when you work hard you can earn enough money because when you work hard it will pay of later. 
i agree with Miguel when he said working hard you can achieve anything because you will have really great opportunities. ]]> 2016-09-23 17:37:19 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090478 jessica https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090584 I believe that if you work hard you can achieve your goals. my first reason is because when you graduate school you'll have a diploma and can get your dream job. my second reason is that when you succeed in life you will have everything you always wanted (nice house, your dream car etc.) my final reason is that you won't have to struggle in life because there are some people who are struggling. 

* I agree with joh when she said if you work hard you can earn enough money to take care of your family. I agree because there are some points when one of your family members aren't feeling good and need to take them to the doctor you don't have enough money to take them. 

*I agree with Lizbeth because there are some people who are trying so hard to achieve their goals. ]]> 2016-09-23 17:37:45 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090584 Joh https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090673 I agree that if you work hard, you can achieve anything. The first reason is when you work hard, you can earn enough money to take care of your family. The second reason is if you work hard, you can help someone that is has health problem and  participating in programs can make you confident and responsible person and finally the third reason is that when you work hard enough, you can reward yourself and something good can happen to you. If you fail a thousand times , you can never give up and try to redo the things that you messed up.
* I agree with  Diana when she said that when you achieve your goal, you can have good opportunities in life because, you can do anything you want and you can have a better life in the future
* I agree with Jessica when she said you don't have to struggle in life because you are not the only one who struggles with your life and everybody struggles with their life

For example, if you want to get college you have to work hard in school and you can achieve what you need to go to your dream college. Another example, if you want to become a professional sport star you have to work hard to be better than everybody else and you probably got to work extra hours to get to your goal and thats what working hard gets too. Lastly, if you don't work hard nothing is coming to you . I agree with joh because if you don't work hard how are you going to take care of your family. I also agree with mohammed when he said that when nothing comes your way dont complain because they're nit working hard like they supposed to be to live for themselves or their family.]]> 2016-09-23 17:38:08 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126090710 Jackie missyoung820 https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091047 I agree with the statement that if you work hard you can achieve many things in the U.S. One reason, I believe this is because America gives you many  opportunities. Such as, free education and a chance to go to college. Another reason, I believe this is because America has a lot of options, on things you can work on and get good money. One last, reason of why  i believe this is because if you work hard in general nothing can stop you. ]]> 2016-09-23 17:38:41 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091047 DESERI;* https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091082 the American dream is not  if you work hard you can achieve your goals.
 
my first reason why  i disagree with this opinion is because not necessary you have to come to America to achieve your goals unless your goal is to come to America. If you work hard for what you want it doesn't matter the place or circumstances that you are in to. Yes if you really work  for what you want you can achieve it.

My second reason why i disagree with this argument is because many people who are trying to live the "American Dream "and that are working  hard to achieve what they want they just don't see to achieve it because of many many obstacles. One of those thousand of obstacles would bed missing their family, two would be because of the language also because of the way they enter to the country; if they aren't legal they would have many other difficulties.

And my final reason is because must of the immigrants have it really hard when they come to live the " American Dream" is not a dream if u come to work all day and get payed $5 hours a hour, is more like a nightmare. For me a dream is more like working half day and get payed like if i had worked for the whole day a dream for me is having a beautiful house with my family spending time with them get to go on beautiful vacations our of the state or country been happy yes u can also be happy if you like what u doing yes money is not all but u do come to live a "Dream'' that is not even how they tell u it would be.

When you work hard you get a reward or get something you like. For example, some people wanted to become doctors and they have to work hard to get what they want. So people who wanted to become doctors have achieve there goal by getting a college degree. Like they say if you can dream it, it will come true. So when you work hard, you can achieve anything. I agree with Diana because people work hard to get money and be successful in life. I also agree with Mohammad because by facing your obstacle you can succeed in life.]]> 2016-09-23 17:38:50 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091096 Mohammad minhaj_u_yeamin https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091163 I agree that with hard work comes success. First reason is that if you just sit and only think what we want to achive would not work out. Second reason is that obstacles would come to defeat you but you need to face it and not run away . ]]> 2016-09-23 17:39:05 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091163 Chloe chuyunhe0820 https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126091239 I believe that if you work hard, you can achieve your dreams. I always heard people saying “if you put your mind in it, you can do anything you want”, and I believe that is true.  To begin with, the American dream is a true statement. From Oprah to Mark Zuckerberg, Arnold Schwarzenegger or Jay Z, the stories of the people coming from humble beginnings who have risen to riches is a proof that the American Dream is alive and well. Second of all,
rejecting the American dream has consequences on chances of making it come true.Among those reject the American Dream,half of them believethat Americans are not entitled to a better life, which fits perfectly into their overall more pessimistic outlook. Overall, one can’t give up until he hits it. The idea of the American dream is every US citizen should have an equal opportunity to achieve success through hard work. Only those who work hard for it, are hungry for it, and don’t give up in face of adversity are actually able to live it. Moreover, there is no other countries like America provides the opportunities to help your achieve your dream.

For example if you work hard for what you want because it won't come to you without a fight you have to be strong and courageous and know that you can do anything your put your mind to.But if you sit out there doing nothing you not going to reach your goal because believe in your self and the rest will fall into place.But is not necessary if you come to america you can reach your dream is like you have to work hard and believe your self. I agree with MOHAMMAD when he said because when you sit down and thinking about what you have to achieve would not work out because you have to stand up fight for you dream because nobody going to tell you what you have to do.]]> 2016-09-23 17:42:39 UTC https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126092354 Marvin  https://padlet.com/missyoung820/DreamDebate/wish/126093237 I agree that if you  work hard, you can achieve anything. First reason is that everyone is capable of achieve anything, some times we face barriers we did't think we're able to overcome. Second reason is that every time we overcome an obstacle, we get more knowledge and experience. Therefore, achieving goals becomes easier for us. Third reason, we won't be able to achieve the American by ourselves. We need help from others in order to achieve anything.
* I don not agree with Cesar's viewpoint. As he said that there is a lot people who work hard they haven't achieved their goals. In my opinion, if you notice that you're not achieving your goals, you must do something else to succeed. There is a lot of opportunities that can help you to achieve the american dream. You can establish your own business, It can be a simple food track. Sometimes you need to start from very low to achieve your goal.
