Is anything really possible? Can you really have anything you desire? Is the American Dream alive? If it is, can anyone access it, or is it just for a select few? In all honesty, these weren't questions that I ever asked as a child. I grew up in a working class family, and there seemed to be a certain order to the world. Like all kids, my siblings and I talked about what we were going to be when we grew up and the dreams we had for our lives but, as the years went on, we began to realize there is a difference between dreams and what is actually attainable. Is anything possible? I believe that it absolutely is. Can you really have anything you desire? I have come to believe that you can, given a few caveats. Is the American Dream alive? There is no doubt I know because I have lived it and, yes, it is accessible to anyone willing to learn and grow.
