In today's America, the American dream simply means to follow your dreams. Almost everyone grows up and wants to be a successful and happy employed person with a family. This dream is the same as it used to be when immigrants first came to America. They had religious, financial, or agricultural troubles as well as many other reasons to want to come over to America America was known as to be the "Melting Pot", a mix of all cultures. People came from all over the world knowing that they could come to America and be accepted and make a better life for themselves and their families. People would get a low-paying job that they probably did not want in order to make the money or earn the experiences to make their actual dreams come true. Someone who dreamed of opening up their own deli might start out with a job at a meat factory or something similar. Now, people in the work force have the opportunity to do whatever they want. They do not have to work lowly jobs in order to make ends meet while trying to get into the profession they would love. We are now able to strive in our schools to get that dream job, and then after college, (or before, we have that option) we are awarded by receiving that job.
In the present, little kids have big dreams of becoming the president or an astronaut. And that is now possible in America! Anyone can dream and become anything they wanted to become in America. That is the wonderful thing about our country. We are a free people, not ruled under anyone who tells us what to do, we are free to make our own decisions about anything and everything we want. We can decide to become a teacher, or an engineer if we wanted. Anything we put our minds to can be done here: That is the American Dream.
