Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
With no knowledge of the English language, my grandfather, Olav Kaldestad,
immigrated to The United States with a dream and in search for an opportunity to
achieve a successful job and provide an even better future for his family. Coming from a
poor childhood in a different country came with struggles. He overcame those hardships
and worked hard to provide for his family and sent all three of his children through
college and they have achieved their American Dream as well. As proved by my
grandfather, there is an American Dream. The American Dream is an idea that America
gives the opportunity for anyone to succeed, however success itself is defined by the
individual. The accessibility of this idea that was once the pinnacle of living in America is
being challenged, but should it be? The American Dream is still accessible because
those who strive for their own idea of happiness can achieve it and those who take
advantage of the wealth of opportunities available can reach their dream, but because it
has changed to be focused on money, for those who wealth alone is the dream, it may
not be accessible to all.
