The American Dream

The American Dream, in all honesty it differs from person to person like fingerprints. However my family has benefited greatly from the American Dream. An example of our American Dream in an of itself, is me. I am a half asian half caucasian person living in the United States. Political, religous, and the freedom from prejudice all find a place in my life. I'm allowed the freedoms everyone else is given in America because of the equality this country provides. The American Dream has helped my family in other ways as well.

My mother is an asian women. Born in America, while both her parents were immigrants from Asia. My grandfather from china and my grandmother from South Korea. My mothers parents were both doctors. My grandmother practiced medecine as a pediatrician while my grandfather researched medecine itself. Both had their own various acheivments while my grandfather and his time also pioneered the research leading to the knowledge of zinc being neccassary for the body to function. The American Dream served them well as they immigrated from another country thousands of miles away and raised themselves up in society in the United States.

My mother too, benefited from the American Dream, she holds an E.D.D in Education from columbia University and is the Associate Provost of Academic Affairs at Mass. College of Pharmaxcy and Health Sciences of Boston. She is a high level administrator at a provate college in Boston. One of the few asian women to do so. My mother benefited from the freedom the American Dream grants letting her follow her dreams in academia. These are only a few ways in which the American Dream benefited my family.
