The American Dream

When asked how I would you define the American Dream, my mind automatically thinks of one particular thing. I believe the American Dream is all about happiness.

Happiness in my life is achieved by the following three things.
  • My Family
  • My Job
  • My Lifestyle
My family has been through many ups and downs throughout the 22 years of my life. I lost my dad when I was 12 and all but one of my Grandparents has also passed away. God has surrounded me with wonderful people and has blessed me with a Fiancé whose family has more than fielded the void that is within my family. I do not have the typical American family, but what I do have makes me more than happy.

My job is also another important aspect of my American Dream. I happily manage an electrical maintenance company and I am currently taking classes to pursue a degree in Accounting. With a background in business, a bachelor degree in accounting, a CPA license and a good work ethic my dream job will hopefully await me. This job will help me achieve happiness and provide for my family.

My lifestyle and future lifestyle is another thing that brings me happiness. In my future I do not have to have an extravagant lifestyle in order to achieve happiness. I do not need a million dollar mansion with numerous high priced cars sitting out front. I do not need to travel the world and go to luxurious vacation destinations. If I can provide for my family and kids and give them more than I had when growing up, then I will be more than happy.  

With the family I have in my life, my job and my lifestyle I can easily achieve my plans of living the American Dream.
