I am going to interview my mother, my neighbor, and a member of my church

The parts of the American Dream I think are present in my neighborhood are making sure the children are successful in their endeavors, providing a strong family foundation base, community support is also represented in our neighborhood, education, and finally I expect to find the value of teaching their children the values of hard work and helping the less fortunate through volunteer work.

Success of Immigrants’ Children Measured

Success of Immigrants’ Children Measured is about a study the Pew Research Center has conducted about the success of a child born to immigrant parents in the United States. The study proved that most immigrant children were successful and were even doing better than many children with a long line of American descendants. This article expresses the reason so many immigrants have come to America, for a better opportunity for their children. Many immigrants come here each year to benefit their children’s lives. Through their hard work the children learn that if they work hard they have the opportunity to be able to do whatever they want. Opportunity and success are the dreams that all Americans have the desire to achieve. It matters not whether you are an immigrant, a first generation American, or an American who has had many descendants living here. Success is something every American wants to achieve because it is associated with happiness and comfort. There is nothing negative that comes to mind when you hear the word success.  This article perfectly illustrates the reasons immigrants come to America, because they reap the benefits when they see their children obtaining the success every American wishes to obtain.
