Interview

I interviewed Helen McClain (grandmother) about what the American Dream mean to her.

What does the American Dream mean to you?
I feel that the American Dream is a goal that you strive to reach. It is something that you long for no matter who you are.

Do you feel that you have reached your American dream?
I feel that I have in many ways. I have raised a wonderful daughter and am now able to spend most of my days with my granddaughter. Even though I started a family at a young age and had to travel for almost 4 years before I settled down, I believe that it was the right thing. Don't get me wrong, I do wish that I could have started a career a little sooner and not have had to have little jobs her and there, but those are the things that you learn from. I can't change anything and truthfully, I do not want to.
