Hello, everyone. I'm Laura xx, a 19-year-old student currently enrolled at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Today, I'd like to engage in a discussion about the state of The American Dream in our modern America.

The essence of The American Dream has always revolved around the desire for an equal life, accessible to everyone, regardless of their social or economic background.

This dream held a magnetic appeal for people from various countries, compelling them to make the decision to migrate to America.

Despite the mix of cultures, races, religions, and languages, it seemed to coexist relatively smoothly for many years.

However, it's perplexing to witness how inequality has grown so significantly, and The American Dream has undergone such rapid transformation in America, seemingly moving in the opposite direction of its intended goals.

In many parts of our nation, communities are struggling with high crime rates and limited access to education and fair-paying jobs.

These neighborhoods and towns have been grappling with these challenges for generations, and finding solutions can seem elusive.

A resident from Clarington, Ohio, who voted for Trump, candidly described her town as a "difficult place" where jobs have disappeared, social support systems have eroded, and educational opportunities are scarce.

In essence, she felt there were no avenues for a better life. She placed her trust in Trump's promises to address these issues, believing that by revitalizing the economy, he would reduce inequality and provide opportunities for those who hadn't yet realized the American Dream.

Poverty had been on the rise during the previous administration, and Trump's commitment to speak up for the "forgotten men and women" resonated with her.
