Arnold's perspective when it comes to dreaming...

I think that Arnold may view the power of dreams differently then other people might because I think he has just given up on having dreams, because his parents never got to live out their dream and their parents probably never got to live out their dreams and so on. I think that he has dreams but he doesn't only focus on his dreams. I think that I am different from him because if I have a dream I strive for excellence and I feel like I have to achieve it otherwise I wasted my whole life. If Arnold heard the quote "Dream Big" I think his reaction would just be to laugh or make something funny out of it and maybe he would say like why try to dream big.
I think our dreams depend a lot on others sometimes because we have to be recognized in some sort of way, like we have to show other people that we are capable of fulfilling the dream. I think sometimes we give up our dreams because they're unrealistic and to big to achieve. Sometimes people have to face reality and get their heads out of the clouds, and although this sounds a little rough, it's true. Like odds are, I will never be the president of Mexico. I just have to face the facts.

What is "The American Teenager?"

I think that the "American Teenager" is a ton of different things. When I think of the American teenagers I think of people my age, the drama, the competition, the stress! I personally don't like the "American Teenager." They lie, they spread gossip, and sometimes they're just not nice. Of course, not all teenagers are like this, but that's how I see it, and the thing that sucks the most is that I am an "American Teenager." I am the type of teenager who would rather like to talk to a 50 year old adult then a 15 year old guy or girl. Sure, I try to get along with people my age, but sometimes I just wish I was 60 years old.
