Periods 1 & 2, Post 2: Your "American Dream"

Hey, guys. Congratulations on making it through your second full week of classes, and the first few days of fall.

Our first whole-class text, A Raisin in the Sun, by Lorraine Hansberry, talks a lot about the theme of the "American Dream," and of "dreams deferred." What are your dreams for the future? What do you want to accomplish with your life? What steps do you need to take to achieve these dreams?

Be sure to include your name, and to write in complete sentences. Pay attention to spelling and grammar.

This will count as a homework assignment for this marking period.

  1. Jonathan here, my dream is to go to play professional basketball. But first I want to finish off high school and go to college with a basketball scholarship or with an academic scholarship. And I will be the first person in my family to go to college. But at the moment I don't know if I want to finish college or go for 2 years and then play professional basketball. I would decide when the time come. There are a lot of steps I have to take to accomplish my dream. For example I have to work on my game everyday and get good grades. The thing I need to do the most is to work hard, not only on my game but on my books. And I'm working hard to accomplish my dream.

  6. I have a lot of dreams for my future. One particular dream I have is that I want to graduate high school, finish college and then proceed to become a graduate of medical school. I want to become a pediatrician. I love children and taking care of people so I figured that this field is what I would persue my career in. After becoming a doctor I would like to have my own private practice, a nice home and then get married and have a family.

    My dream is to become a nurse one day. My first goal is to complete high school on time, then go to medical school. I feel like it is so important to have ambitions and goals because it gives you and idea of how to steer your future in the right way. It also give you something to focus on so that when you have have completed that goal you feel like you have accomplished something. I know that in order to reach my goals i have to stay very focused in school and get the grade i need to get into a good college. Staying focused on your goal isnt always that easy when there is so much distractions in the way. But i believe if you work hard enough you accomplish anything. In life i want to be something i want to have a good job so that i can support myslef and not depend on anyone, i would never be selfish with my money and would use it to help others. I want to become a nurse peferablly one that works with children becasue its a good feelin when you help others. :)
