Living The American Dream

Many people ask me how I'm so smart or how do i do it all at once.. Well there really is no answer to it, i do everything i can to live the American dream (and succeed).  
But Iliana.. You're not American.. Yeah, yeah i know.. 
  I was born in Mexico in a nice small neighborhood. Family of 5 living paycheck to paycheck it was hard but we never gave up. One day finally i step foot here in America. At first i thought it wasn't so different, except for the street names and sings being in a different language and all,
 but then i stared to notice how much freedom everyone here has. How different people treat you (in a good way), the way people live their everyday lives, it was a completely different routine, a routine I'm still getting used to. 
    Now I'm here 7 years later, in a college class while in high school. Taking everyday as a mountain and climbing it all the way to the top, making my family proud and telling them everyday that I'm living The American Dream.
