American Dream

“The American Dream, personally I believe it still exists and it is achievable through hard work and dedication. My “American Dream “is to become a successful soccer player and become rich. I have hope in my dreams I think that it is realistic. Realistic in the sense, I am working towards my goals and dreams. I believe all realistic dreams are achievable through hard work because “America is the land of opportunities.” The “American Dream” is something we all hope for; at least most of us do, but in recent studies the number of unemployed youth has increased. As a result, “the global economy is being brought to its knees”, and our generation’s dream is being screwed up.

I plan to achieve my dream by working hard in school and on the soccer field because these are my values. I hope to play soccer in college, make it to a professional team and most like play in Europe. Through dedication and effort, I can strike rich and make the best of what America has made possible for me.

Technology is the world’s biggest distraction. Technology has influenced our generation so much that we are becoming addicted to our smart phones and the internet, deteriorating our ability to be creative. Technology will keep improving and psychological disorders will keep making us use them because “we are all addicts.” Technological advancements have caused the world to become obsessed to social media and smart phones. The internet “leads to behaviors that we as people are not conscious about”. It can take away or freedom, most of us “spend eight hours a day or more staring at a screen”.

Looking at statistics, the number of college grads getting good jobs is very few as a result, “student loans have grown consistently over the few decades to…$27,000 each”. Only “43 percent of graduates” are now working due to the bad economy and unemployment issues. Unlike other countries like Greece or Spain the number of unemployed people “between 18 and 29 is 12 percent”, that is somewhat better than most European countries.

In conclusion, I plan to become successful by working hard and modeling a great path to success for myself and sublime the bad economic trend. With great skill and dedication I believe I can strength fully achieve my “American Dream”.
