Is the American Dream Realistically Attainable?


Hi, my name is Krystal Plaza. I'm a sophomore at Fenton High School. and I have experienced at least 2 people fighting to obtain The American Dream first hand. The American Dream: a national epitome of the United States, the set of ideals in which freedom includes the opportunity and success, as well as an upward social mobility for the family and children, achieved through hard work. But can it really be reached by today's standards?
It's hard enough to reach for people born in the US but it can be even harder for those who have immigrated here. In this podcast, I offer that perspective. Born in Mexico, my mother has faced many trials finding her own American Dream.
What is the American Dream and is it Reachable?

School causes stress on teens Podcast Pitch And welcome back to Isaac's podcast, so stress and school. Man those two things match so perfectly. Stress brings such worry, such anxiety. Many kids struggle and try to cope with it but they always seem to fail because they always aim for perfection yet don't succeed at that. They struggle their whole life because they were so focussed on getting that A in high school. They were so focussed on getting the work done, instead on focusing on what life really matters.
