It is what dreams are made of

Benjamin Franklin is a prime example of the American dream. He's an example of how with hard work and dedication someone can achieve whatever goal they set their mind to. He was born in Boston and ran away at 17 with his older brother from his apprenticeship to Philadelphia. When him and his brother arrived in Philadelphia they didn't have any money. He built a printing business, published newspapers, books including Poor Richard's Almanac. He invented bifocals, the lightning rod, iron stove etc. He opened the first library. How did he do so much? The American dream is something that children are taught.The American dream tells a child no matter what background they are from. They have endless possibilities on what they can achieve. Too bad the American dream doesn't exist. It's like Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, or Santa's Workshop. It has become an idea, a fairytale, a destination that can' for some, and won't for many be reached. No matter how hard they try. How did Franklin achieve all that he did as a penniless boy from Boston? I hate ending my blogs with questions, but sometimes that is all I am left with.
