In class,we decidedwhowasthe closesttolivingthe ‘AmericanDream”.Eachof us linedup
shouldertoshoulder,all hopingtomake itto the sidewalk,akathe “Americandream”.Asa statement
was readoff to the class,we were instructedtoeithertake a stepforwardforsomethingpositive,or
take a stepbackfor somethingnegative.Eachstatementwasgiveninadifferentaspectof life.There
were statementssuchas:If you were everashamedorembarrassedof yourclothes,house,car,etc.
take one stepback. If your parentswere professionals:doctors,lawyers,etc.take one stepforward.
I honestlyfeltasif itclassifiedpeople asthe type of lifestyleyouhave grownupwith.Ifeltas if
some questionswere more complextobe honestaboutthanothers.I am veryfortunate tobe able to
say that I wasone of the veryfewpeople thatwere classifiedas“livingthe Americandream”.
Approximatelyonlyone-fourthof the classhasbeenfortunate enoughtohave beenlivingthe dream.
AlthoughIwasfortunate enoughtohave falleninthatcategory,itdoesnot meanthat I have had a
perfectlife.
As we didthisexercise inclass,Icouldn’thelpbuttofeel veryblessedforthe lifethatIhad been
given.AsIlookedaroundat everyone behindme,itmade me realizemanythingsaboutlife.Iknowyou
hearabout all the terrible thingsgoingoninthe world,butitcompletelyopensyoureyestosee
someone strugglingrightinfrontof you.
I learnedfromthisexperience toneverjudge anyone,whetheritbeinginagoodor bad
perspective.Ican honestlysaythatI have neverbeenone tojudge someonebecause of myown
experience.Itrulybelieve thatitisa good thingthat mostpeople getjudge atsome pointinlife,only
because itshowsyouwhat notto do to otherpeople.

For the future,Iwouldrecommendtoneverjudge someone bythe waysomeone looksoracts.
Justbecause someone lookslike they’re livingthe “Americandream”,doesn’talwaysmeanthatthey
are.Afterthisexperience,Iwouldneverjudge a bookbyitscover.
