My American dream would be showing my sisters that I can get a degree despite my background. I come from a family with four daughters (no sons whatsoever). However, out of all four, only one was born in their parent's home country, which is me. I come from a small town in Guatemala where I cannot say what the view is like, how expensive it is (or IF it is/was expensive), or how the citizens act there. I came to America when I was two and was carried throughout the journey while my older sisters returned to America on a plane. One had a dangerous journey, while the others had a comfortable journey. Since I was young, my parents have always begged my sisters to help me get some documents, in which they did not help. Even though DACA was active, I was still too young for it. However, once I turned fifteen and my parents were financially stable, DACA stopped receiving new applications. It was devastating for me. However, I noticed that I would get awards my sisters would not gain each year throughout school. My father 'preferred' me according to them. Nevertheless, the only reason he did was because I was the only daughter born in another country, while the others were born in the country that opened its arms to us. My mom always told me that people came here for a change or to try to achieve their dreams from the U.S. to their country. For most people, the American dream is about getting papers, getting rich, etc. However, my American dream will be obtaining a higher degree than what I could not have gotten if I stayed in Guatemala. If God permits, then I will get papers somehow. But education? With inflation these days? It seems very expensive. So far, God has given me enough intelligence to get into the Early Admission program and hopefully receive an A.A. degree in the summer of 2025. That is my American dream. Gaining education degrees with hard work despite my status, receiving an education I would not have gotten in my country, and learning despite the language barrier. That is my American dream. I do not think I would be alive by how corrupt the government is in my country despite them saying that there is no corruption, unlike here in America, where they catch criminals despite how 'strong' they are. This country is where they try to treat every Hispanic, Latino, white, black, etc., equally. In conclusion, my American dream can be the same or different than others. Nevertheless, the American dream is why some immigrants like me come to this country for superior education.
