The Dream

Society has expectations for you

Go finish college

But if you don't get at least a 4 year degree you won't fit here

Start raising a family

Or else you'll be out of the loop

You're poor?

You'll be spared some change, but expect to be treated as a statistic

The American Dream is just one of many pathways a human can choose to walk

It is not a requirement

We live for happiness, not wealth

We were not brought to this Earth to meet expectations

We are always told to follow our dreams

But our dreams must fit society's standards

Little do people realize

A Janitor can smile just as wide as an Engineer
