What is your American Dream? What do you like most about America?

Prompt response: My American dream is to get a high-paying job and get a home that I can live the rest of my life in. What I like about America is the many opportunities and chances that are given to all people and the chances that you are given to succeed.
What did we do in class? We read Langston Hughes: Let America Be America Again, It is a poem about the many people of different races and ethnicities who are not realizing that the American dream obtainable but the people are not reaching out to obtain their American dream.
What can I reflect upon? All I can reflect upon is my future after graduation, I want to have a good paying job, I want to have a good home, and I want a good future for myself but all of that can only be obtained when I truly understand my worth.
