Why America is the land of opportunity
As an immigrant from a small country in Eastern Europe, my green light has always been strongly tied to the American Dream and making it big in the country of opportunity. The chances of success here was much greater than that of the Soviet Union due to the competitive nature of America, which is why my parents came here. When I think of the American dream I think of hard work and effort to achieve a life with a high standard of living. Anybody here with the will to accomplish greatness can do so with the opportunities that this country affords them. Although its not an easy dream, that is the American dream.
