In my opinion the American Dream is to be successful in whatever you do. For me, that means to do well in high school and to go to a good college. After that I would get a well paying job and start a family.  I would raise my children to be better than I was so that they will make society better in the future.
     My idea of the American Dream is similar to what most people think of the American Dream. The general idea of it is to make a lot of money and to be successful in life. My idea is different from the usual American Dream because usually people will do whatever they can do to get to the top. I think it is better to be fair in order to be successful and not to be selfish and only think on myself. The main idea of the American Dream is to do well in everything you do.
