"How have you lived your American Dream?"
[Donna Rhodes]
She said, "While growing up, I can remember dreaming of graduating from college with a good education, getting a good paying job, marrying a good man and starting a family. As I got older and achieved some of those goals one at a time, my dream began to change. Now I have realized that everyday is a gift, as we are not guaranteed tommorrow. So to have knowledge, a job to use that knowledge and awesome children to pass it on to, I would say that right now I am living my version of the "American Dream."

"In my opinion, the American Dream means to be able to fulfill your personal goals and live your life the way you wish to live it. Fortunately, my parents were able to supply me with plenty of opportunities to further my education and to make life goals for myself. I pride myself in the fact that I have been able to pursue my love for dancing, and volunteer in various organizations which helps me to appreciate everything that I have. So, I would say that I have definitely fulfilled and lived my American Dream. But as for the American Dream, I do not know because it means so many different things to so many different people."

"When I was a young boy I had dreamt of graduating from college with a master's degree, be a dental hygeniest, have a wonderful family and just be all that I could be. Now that I am older I have graduated from NC State University with a Masters Degree in Business, working in a dental lab instead of being a dental hygienest and have a girlfriend but not a family quite yet. So the answer for me, is yes, I have almost lived my American Dream but not quite yet. As for others, I would have no idea because this is my version of the American Dream."
