In Edition to Interviews:

What did I learn from these interviews?

I learn that many people think that the American Dream is about living a happy life by making money. This is the American Dream of today, it use to be get married, have kids and have a nice house. Like our environment it evolves over time with technology and the minds of the people. I learn that the American Dream of today, can not always be achieve because times are harder but, I am on the way to achieve mine and no one is going to stop me!
