The American dream is different to all. For instance, to a US citizen the dream might be to get straight a's in school and be a success. To a newe immigrant, the dream might be to gain citizenship and bring the rest of the family over to this country for a better life. Americans dont always realize that just by being a citizen by birth, we are already living the American dream. No other country has it as good as we do. Even our poor people have more money and belongings than those of other places iun the world. Mouricio said in his presentation that his brother, cousin and himself were sent to the states for a better life. They did not realize it at the time but that's why they were swemt here. And he said that after all these years he knows for sure this is where he belongs. The American dream can be anything any one wants it to be.
