The American Dreams and Growth Mindset

The[LC2] [LC3]  American Dream is the idea that anyone can be successful if they work hard[N4] . In the past, it meant owning a home, having money, and moving up in life. Today, it also includes getting a good education, having fair chances, and feeling happy. In the video, Immigrant Perspectives: The American Dream by Geekwire, , many immigrants say their dream is to give their children a better life, not just to make money. Entrepreneurs like Elena Tarasov, Sthoshi Nakajima, Manny Medina, Francis Duong, and Valentina Violas Bello show how the American dream is still alive today. “A Brief History of Immigration in the U.S.”. by Teaching Tolerance shows that different groups of immigrants have changed the dream over time. The American Dream is always changing to fit new challenges.

Reyna Grande’s family in The Distance Between Us[N5]  shows the sacrifices people make for the American Dream. [LC6] The Grande family (Mother and father) [N7] left Mexico because they were poor and hoped for a better life in the United States. They wanted higher wages and better homes. But leaving also meant being away from their children, which was very hard. Some people think Reyna’s parents should have stayed, but others believe they had to leave to give their children a better future. Their experience shows that achieving the American dream is not always easy.

Many immigrants, including my family, have made hard choices for a better life. We moved for better jobs, education, and a safe life. But, unlike Reyna’s family, we stayed together, which made things easier. A growth mindset helps people reach the American Dream[N8] . Some people give up when things are hard, but a growth mindset helps them keep trying[N9] . The Distance Between Us shows that success takes time and effort[LC10] . This idea has helped me work hard and stay focused on my goals, even when moving to a new place was difficult.

 

 CConclusion, [N11] tThe American Dream is different for everyone and changes over time. In the past, it meant making money, but now it also means having a safe life, good chances, and growing as a person. Reyna Grande’s story and other immigrant stories show the hard choices people make for this dream. From history and personal stories, we see that hard work and flexibility help people reach the American Dream today.

10 Reflection: Describe your most challenging moments in this class

 one of the most challenging moments in this class was writing my first essay. At the beginning, I felt nervous and unsure about organizing my idea. I didn't know how to write a strong introduction or a clear thesis statement. I didn't know how to build up body paragraph or the style of conclusion, but I remember the growth mindset idea that mistakes are part of learning. I told myself that every great writer starts as a beginner. So, I asked my teacher, Esther Lee, and Tutor Loisa Chen for help, and I spent extra time reviewing my drafts. After practicing,  I started to feel more confident. Another challenge was speaking and sharing my writing during peer review. I was afraid of being judged for my grammar or ideas. But instead of staying quiet, I reminded myself that feedback is a way to grow. I listened to carefully to my classmates and tutor, and teacher Lee, suggestions and used their advice to improve my writing. This helped me become more open and less afraid of making ...
