Dream Big

Arnold believes that dreams are achieved with cooperation. First of all, the person whom's dream it is needs to believe in themselves, and the people around this person also need to believe in this person. It's very difficult to achieve anything you want without any support by others around you. I agree with Arnold about this, and I share these beliefs. Although it may not always be clear, the power that others around us have on us is immense, and support can go a long way.

Dreaming big is something that i think Arnold has. I think he dreams big, but doesn't really believe in himself so ends up going along with everything else. The reason he ends up not believing in himself probably has to do with everyone around him. There isn't anyone around him to help him or support him. Other people are very important to our dreams. Unfortunately, we need other people's approval and support to have belief in ourselves. We give up our dreams when we give in to other's words of disapproval and lose the interest that we once had.

The American Teenager

The American Teenager is a curious person. Someone who strives for freedom yet someone who could also want order, structure and an "American Dream" to enjoy. Of course, it's difficult to describe the teenager of America because they (we) can be very, very different from each other. The one thing that I think most American teenagers have in common is the desire to enjoy themselves to the fullest, in whichever way that may be. Of course this isn't to say that adults don't do this, but I feel teenagers are at a more pivotal point in there lives where this seems a number one priority.
