...INTRODUCTION I am doing this self-learning project because it will help me in my footsteps coming at university. The Skills that I will get from this project is how I present the findings, how to collect data and analyse data. I am researching about dreams and aspiration of people in Saudi Arabia because it will give me more information about them. It is important to know what they want to do in their life in order to fix or change a lot of things and focus on something. The knowledge will help the government, college, universities to plan for the future. In addition can include courses that will be relevant. Glowork Research Glowork carried out a poll of 500 women attending 10 universities in Saudi Arabia. The poll showed that the majority wanted a job after finishing University. In addition, the poll showed 61% wanted to work in administration jobs and tourism jobs. However 72% of women were using either websites or magazines and newspapers to find jobs. The most important skills are IT and English. On the other hand the the survey showed that they are not care about salary but the experience. And they want help to write a CV.

...The American Dream is represented through many books and texts that we read throughout our high school years. Three of the main text that highlight the American Dream as a whole are The Crucible, The Great Gatsby, and Of Mice and Men. These stories although very different still have a similar message from the author who wrote it. The time frame for each story is different to express how the American Dream has always been there and will always be something that Americans can thrive for. These stories show how they had religious freedom, personal freedom, and material aspirations. All the characters in these stories all wanted something even if they were poor or rich. They pursued happiness and wanted to achieve the pronounced “American Dream”....

...MY DREAM IS TO BECOME A TEACHER” The decision to enter a career in teaching is not something to be taken lightly. There are hundreds and hundreds of other careers to choose from. So I ask myself this question and ponder the reasons, why I want to become a teacher. Upon asking another teacher this question I got a quick response of June, July, and August. There has to be more to it than just summer vacation, right? Some of the other reasons people might give are such things like: they feel a calling to teach; a chance to positively impact the community; having a commitment to students; and being a good role model. But just what does all this mean to me and my pursuit to be an educator? Ultimately, I believe it will lead to a brighter future for me, and for my family. Let us take a little deeper look at some of the rewards of teaching. Everyone wants to be recognized for things they do in life, whether they are willing to admit it or not. I would love one day to have my name called out at an assembly to receive a certificate, plaque, or maybe even a banner, for being awarded Teacher of the Year. This would be a really great way to mark my accomplishments and distinguish myself among my colleagues. Teaching is not all about fame and recognition though. Knowing that I am doing a job that makes a difference, like teaching a child how to read and write, learn what respect is, and take responsibility for their actions will be meaningful...

...The Crash of the American Dream When most people think of the American Dream the first thing that comes to mind is the house with the white picket fence, the 2.5 children, a nice reliable minivan or SUV, and the dog or cat. The American Dream is really not what it used to be, and it is getting harder and harder to obtain. With the effects of the economic crisis still shaping our everyday lifestyle, there is still little to no relief. We are still dealing with no jobs, and the ones you do get don’t pay nearly enough. The price to go back to school to try to improve your work situation has become more and more expensive, and to top it off you can barely get any kind of loans because you don’t make enough. It has become this vicious circle that...

...distinguish career and living the American Dream, I am now an un-employed husband and a father of a 33 months old son. In May 2013, I moved from Middle Georgia to South Florida for better living and a good way of life for my new family. For over five and a half years, I was working for a major corporation that got their business from the Federal Government contracts by bidding and performing needed services at different locations around the world. Because of government cuts in Sept 2013, I lost my position due to the company's Workforce Reduction Policy and I became unemployed. Luckily, I had saved up a few month’s pay and the company gave me a severance package. From the time I received my official notice letter, I had been applying for different types of Information Technology jobs in the Miami area, attending job fairs, and attending interviews and it all comes down to... "I see you have a lot of experience in the IT field, but do you have this degree and certain certifications that’s required for this position?"

...My American Dream I remember when I was younger, on warm weekend nights, cuddled up on the couch with a bowl of buttery popcorn, watching Disney films pondering… what would life be like as a princess? To be constantly surrounded by the magic, to dance with my prince charming in the most magnificent palace with all eyes on me, to be the most beautiful and cherished girl in the whole kingdom. I'm sure nearly every little girl has the dream, but for most people it disappears over time. Not for me. True… it could be considered near impossible, but ever since those memorable nights I have dreamed to work as a Disney character at the resort.Transition needed here between your dream and theirs. Like nearly every person, real or fictional, George and Lennie have a dream. “ O.K. Someday—we're gonna get the jack together and we're gonna have a little house and a couple of acres and' a cow and some pigs and—" "An' live off the fatta the lan'," Lennie shouted” (Steinbeck 14). In John Steinbeck's novel Of Mice and Men George Milton and Lennie Small find themselves traveling together in order to find work. Though some deem (since you used “find” in your last sentence) it strange that two men spend so much time together, George and Lennie compliment each other. George, the smaller yet intelligent one, helps Lennie to function with...

...AMS 100 I am living in an age when dramatic changes have already occurred ever since society has ever started. I may not have witnessed these changes from the ancient times until that of last three decades of events, I know for a fact that those occurrences in the past will always have its impact in the manner that I live today. History has taught me many great discoveries about the past that will always have to affect me personally as well. As an individual living in the twenty-first century, the American economic definition of “dream” has greatly affected me in the ways that I consider wealth as an ideal lifestyle of a person living in America. This is evidently still applies until today especially that I strive hard only to achieve this so-called “American dream”. I was born in middle class, Chinese parents, who worked two jobs to feed three children, pay the house, fuel the car, and spend some leisure. I have witnessed how my parents struggled hard in order to maintain their lifestyle and status in the society. I remember how my father once celebrated his promotion that we had the chance to spend the summer in Disneyland. However, I have also witnessed how my mother fought with my father in 2009 because they were in the middle of bankruptcy. As I went to get a college education, I remember how my mother told me to strive hard so I will not experience the same thing. At first, I thought that I can do that and that I can do better than they did. Perhaps they were just wrong...

...Andreina Garcia I believe that having a career is fundamental to success in the world these days. We live in a time when if you do not have a degree you probably will not work in the area of your interest, or get very far for that matter. Luckily, some people have found their dream job and have not required a university degree, but this is the exception, not the rule. An example of this is my mother, she has a medical degree from a technical school and she loves her job. She goes to villages that cannot even be accessed by car, and she is so committed to her job and helping others that she has been doing it for over thirty years. She wanted to go to college, but sadly her boss discriminated against her for being a woman and did not...

...American Dream: It is a well-known fact that the term “American Dream” first mentioned by James Trusslow Adams in 1931 (Wright 197) explains the model of an individual’s ideal existence, which is applied exclusively to the US – the country full of freedoms, possibilities, and opportunities. Nowadays the fame about the American dream reached all continents, and more and more people take the concept for granted dreaming about moving to America and spending the rest of their lives in a more favourable environment compared to their own. As many US citizens, they usually ignore the fact that hard work has always served as a background in the given concept (Warschauer) and look forward to gain all amenities of existence at once. Now I would like to express my commitment to the idea of American dream and briefly describe my negative work experience. Some may think of this experience as of something providing a push toward the perspective future, some may not agree. In any case, this is our contemporary reality that forms our perceptions of what we pursue and what we would like to achieve. Some years ago, I spent my summer vacations working as a sales assistant in a large food store that offered a full range of products. I was responsible for the department mostly with fresh and frozen meat. My duties included cutting, chopping, wrapping, and placing labels on the products, each specifying the product type. My uniform was pretty awkward: a green T-shirt and a white overall that probably...
