What is the typical American Dream? The typical American Dream to me is being on the hunt for money. Being able to have the ability to purchase a big house, and to have fancy cars with a perfect family to share it with without having any worries.

And you know what she did sell her car which was an old blue Cavalier and I was able to play basketball that year. My Aunt and Grandfather where always there for me… Financially. I didn’t like going out to school dances much because I knew that my parents could not afford to buy me a new
