I have been working through life, only to recently devise an American Dream for myself. It began in middle school, but I decided to find a way to work through School *high school/college* and achieve my status in a career as fast as possible, with the highest rank possible. I wish to be a chemical Engineer or a Nuclear Physicist, and I'm using the free college of Isaac bear to stair-step my way into that goal faster, and cheaper. I believe I've been quite efficient with my goal, and that if I can continue a successful path, then I can achieve my Dream.
Though I am working hard, Obstacles I have faced in moving forward with it would be moving from Nebraska, Going to an “out of the norm” school, and conflicts with family and friends. Moving from Nebraska was tough, I had lived their a majority of my life and It was an extreme lifestyle change for me. Going to Isaac bear, which isn’t really an extreme obstacle, but it would be because it was different from the normal experience. It would not as much be an obstacle as it is a new path that is less paved for me. Conflicts with my family and friends because of my attitude or situations that I become involved in, and arguing brings down moods, causing me to not focus toward my goal

What do you do when you hit an obstacle? What does the american dream mean to you?
where are the interviews?

Your reflection about your obstacles and dreams is insightful but I have a few corrections in your writing. In the second paragraph, you used their as a person instead of there as a place. You capitalized the word it when it does not need to capitalized. Other than that I feel that I ahve learned more about what you have dealt with when you moved.
Normally for someone the formation of an American Dream at this point in their high school life would be an application of this project to their possible future for themselves. But what you have done is taken your American Dream that you have already formed and applied it to your blogspot enriching it with your understanding of planning and expectations best manifested in this self analysis.
