3. And here’s
my....American
Dream...In Italy.
PD-1923
4. My dream is to spend at least a year or two,
maybe more, living in Italy and touring the
country.
And here’s how I’ll get
there.....
5. Step 1: Language
and Culture Ciao!!
!
I will continue to study Italian language and
culture throughout high-school and college.
6. Step 2: Get a job and start saving money.
This summer I will start saving money from my
summer job. I’ll continue through college with
whatever job I have in college.
7. Step 3: Go to college and get
a degree.
Yes, I’m now Condoleezza Rice
Next I’ll work hard in college and
graduate with a degree in some undecided
thing so I can get a job.
8. Step 4: Get a real job and earn
a real amount of money.
After college I will get a real job (hopefully) and continue to
save money for a round trip flight to Italy, travel expenses, as
well as the things I will need to take with me.
9. Step 5: Find someone to go with
me to Italy and buy a guide book
to the country before I go to the
air-port so I’ll have something to
read on the plane.
Theoretically, I will have met someone or know someone who
would be willing to go with me to Italy (I mean who wouldn’t want
to go to Italy?). I will also need a map so I won’t get lost and the
guide so I don’t get bored on the plane.
10. Step 6: Italy
Step six is where I
spend all of my time
touring the country and
going to cheese and
wine tastings and
having an all around
great time.
11. Step 7: Reality
In step 7, I will eventually run out of money and be unable to get
enough work in Italy so I will return to reality in the United States
where people speak my language and serve lower quality food.
Usually. I will get a job, possibly go back to the one I had before
Italy, and have a family and eventually take any kids I might have to
Italy and show them all my favorite places. In a weird way, I will
eventually fulfill something a lot closer to the usual American
Dream than one might think.
