The American Dream is what you consider a ‘perfect life.’ A dream may seem perfect, but is life perfect? Many perceive wealth as the ultimate American Dream. Except, my immigrant parents believe otherwise. Growing up, my parents constantly stressed the importance of education and the freedom of religion. Coming from different backgrounds, they never even dared to dream that one day, they would come to America, and that one day, they would reside in the land of opportunities. I never really thought of this much. Taking education, the roof over my head, and food on the table for granted, I never put myself in my parents’ place when they were my age, facing many different challenges.
