One of the ideas I have thought about as the American Dream is being able to go to school with the help of the government. Having the opportunity to go to school for almost free is one tool I am grateful for. My parents dreamed that my siblings and I would finish our studies and have a good career so that we could provide for our future family. Many of my dreams were to finish nursing school before I reached 30. I am so grateful for the benefits this country has for people struggling with low income, that's why I'm almost close to reaching my goals. Likewise, one of my cousin's American dreams was to help her father and brother rise out of poverty. She had seen her father face many challenges and struggle to provide for her and her brother. So his goal was to join the army so he could help his father and also protect ours
