This was cool that you interview your parents. Thats good that your parents accomplish their goals. Is good that they got double their dream. If your parents accoplish their goals that means that you can accoplish them also.

How interesting that most of our parents have similar American Dream, owning a house, buying car, giving their children a better life. These dreams our parents have, we should be thankful for them having it, for without them they might have never come to the U.S, or take the risk of crossing the broader and giving us what we have. Yet it makes me sad that some people don't realize what an American Dream means those who weren't born here. America wake up and make the right choices to help these people finish their dreams!
