What is your American Dream? What do you like most about America?

Prompt Response: My American dream is the opportunity to build the life I want. I don't know what I want in the future, but I want the opportunity to pursue and make it happen. I like that America has rights and opportunities that most don't. I also like that it is a place of opportunities and that the bottom can still be successful. 

Summary: Today in class, we studied Langston Hughes's "Let America Be America Again." After the lesson, we started a project on the American dream. 

Reflection: I thought it was cool talking about the American dream and what we thought it was.

 Today in class we started to type up our essay that we have been working on for the past week. The topic of my essay was on goals I had this year.

So I have time for everything I need to do in a day.
