The American Dream can sound like an idealistic goal. Something distant and far away, but it isn’t. The American Dream is lived by all of us every single day. It’s the ability to wake up, go to work at our chosen profession, and have the freedom to work towards a better life. We can choose to work hard at the job we have, or just to bide our time. We choose where we want to live, what we want to wear, and what we want to eat.
