Over the years millions of people have migrated to the United States hoping for one thing, a higher quality of life, may it be caused by poverty, or suppression from a higher order. The American Dream is the one idea that captivates each persons mind with the notion to become something or someone greater in life. America is where dreams are to be lived, not to be dreamt. Because of this America has become a very diverse country, with residents from all over the world. It is a country of little history but greater virtue.
Both my mom and my dad grew up in quite successful households. Both my parents graduated high school around the 80s and from there they had to choose their career paths. At the time to be successful you either had to become a doctor or an engineer. My mother chose to do what she was best at and enhance her skills in the field of art. On the other hand my dad chose to become an engineer. Once my dad graduated college and started working as an engineer in a firm he was introduced to computers and software programming. At that time opportunities to work in that field were not many and he decided to pursue software engineering. As a result he moved to America for higher education to see if he could instead work with software, his primary interest. He came to America to pursue higher studies and then find a job in the software engineering field. My mom followed him to the USA after his studies were over.
My dad now works for a successful software consultant company and my parents have raised two children, my sister and me. I am proud to say that he has purchased his dream car and everything else he ever wanted as a child. Now that my sister and I have grown older, and do not need as much nurturing as we did when we were small my mom has started to paint again. She has had multiple pieces of her art win awards and she has started selling too, hopefully she will continue her love for art and become famous.
I aspire to accomplish my greatest dreams, while doing what I enjoy the most just like my parents did.
Very cool theme for your blog, Akash. I like how the tabs appear aqua on the top of the screen- you will have to tell me how you did that.
ReplyDeleteThe story you have told about your parents is interesting. I think the lesson learned might be something along the lines of, "pursue with you love and the money will follow." It's a great lesson to learn.
