Living the American Dream Through Education.
Beta News

Higher education was esteemed by my family in this manner. I am seeking after an advanced education to hold the estimations of my family in higher respect. The American dream is not as simple to reach as it appears. Heading off to college, working hard, and graduating with a degree in your preferred field doesn't mean you’re nearer to the American dream.

What is the American dream? It is the open door for thriving and achievement. The motivation behind my advanced education is to extend my brain and to discover my energy in my preferred field. As indicated by Richard Kalhlenberg in his article ““ The Purposes of Higher Education,” write that 82% of those from higher-income families get a bachelor’s degree by age 24, compared with just 8% from low-income families according to those statistics, that percent is only a bit higher for middle class families being that it is likely that 82% of students descended from a wealthy background will indeed pursue and earn a bachelor’s degree by age 24. To the extent the American dream, it is conceivable to acquire however it is not a simple street to travel.

The American Dream is lived by few, and coveted by numerous. The fantasy itself comprises of belonging and status, for example the auto you claim or the position held at the occupation you work and the territory you live in. They will choose how excessive there house will be and conveniences inside, and to incorporate where their kids go to class, this school will be viewed as one of the best in their general vicinity.

In a democracy a higher education can allow you to become one of the great American leaders, according to Richard kahlenburg The purposes of Higher EducationThomas Jefferson famously wanted the United States to be led by a “natural aristocracy of “virtue and talent” rather than an “artificial aristocracy” based on wealth and birth. And a system of free public education, coupled with accessible higher education, was critical, in his view, to producing America’s leaders.”. With that being said someone who peruses a higher education is more likely to become one of Americas great leaders although there not from a wealthy background. You can still dream beyond your means and live your dreams.

The American dream is what you want it to be. While seeking after advanced education I will discover my energy and reason in life. Whatever it will be, it will be for me and I will work at it to the best of my capacity. It is essential for me to do this in light of the fact that later on I try to be a built up person. One day, I will be the individual that somebody will turn upward to. As a result of me, they will realize that information is brilliant. The American dream for me is Higher education.

The skills you achieve in college will take you to places that you would have never envisioned you would go to. Higher education is something that is esteemed by me, and I can dare to dream the same for those inside my era. Regardless of what my wage level you may have is. I will prevail in my quest for advanced education. I will live my American dream.

Anyone who was born and raised in New Jersey (or anywhere really) knows of Bruce Springsteen, whether or not they like him is a whole other situation. I hope that his hundreds of classic rock songs and famous high energy performances, even in his sixties he can put on better concerts than people half his age, are at least recognizable to people of all ages. Love him or hate him (I identify with the former) you have to admit that some of his songs and interviews have inspirational quotes and lyrics.

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Marconi Beach

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot.

It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.
