I would like an individuals perspective of The "American Dream" that can express the importance of religious freedom and how America helps facilitate these freedoms. Also what uniqueness that the United States presents to fullfill the American Dream and why is United States a better place to realize and fullfill the "American Dream" and what exactly do you believe the American Dream to be. I'm doing a paper for my Enlish class and I would like an inteligent perspective, and thats why I'm asking you. If you have any personal stories that I could use that propose your realization of your American Dream because of some uniqueness that the United States had to offer I would like to read about it. Thanks.

In the country that I grew up in, a woman's only choice in life was the clothing that she would wear under her veil and abbat. She could not drive herself and education was only if the family allowed it. Even the choice of husband was left to the father or patirach of the family. Here in America, all races, creeds and sexes can follow their heart and souls and have the life, job, or lifemate that they want. As an american that was raised as an Saudi citizan and now an american again, I belive that America has a lot less hatred than is shown on t.v. America really is the melting pot of the world.
