American Dream, People from different backgrounds and distinct need view the American dream differently. Generally an American born would think of the American Dream as being prosperous, having a widespread reputation, and success. Success is the most common characteristic that American born and individuals from different countries particularly think about when talking about the American Dream. Being a Haitian born and having the opportunity to learn about different cultures enlightens my view of what it really means and how people picture the American Dream distinctively.For certain people their American Dream might be a visa to come to America, an alien card, or a citizenship, meaning that the American Dream does not have a specific signification, people have variant desires and so when obtaining the things that they desire it literally means that their American Dream has come to reality. In other words, the American Dream is acquiring the cupidity, and the strong desires. Evidently when someone acquires anything that she/he wishes for, that particular item or wish is most of the time symbolizes the triumph for the individual, because of the fact that it brings the extreme contentment out of that person, and during this particular time the individual is serene due to his/her accomplishment.People are disappointed when they do not get what they wished for, for instance my father’s American Dream has been pushed back many times due to the fact that before emigrated from Haiti to America, he applied for a visa at least three or four times and he did not get what he wished for until November second 2007, and so all these times he spent setting up appointments and applying for a visa to come to the United States and got rejected represent the disappointments that he generated all throughout, before he was finally provided with a visa to come to the U.S.; and that day he received the visa he was very triumphant.
