their knowledge and to win the chance to "touch" the American Dream.
One of the reasons for such popularity of the American education is
credit system. Nowadays it is practiced in many European and Asian
countries; therefore students can try this system of education in
their homelands without spending big money for studying abroad. But
among young people all over the world America is still one of the most
desirable places to study in.
Similarly, the United States is considered to be the land of brilliant
career opportunities. Many people believe there is the shortest way
from rags to riches if a person is able and willing to work. There are
enormous opportunities for starting up small business in America; all
you need is a fresh idea, starting capital and entrepreneurial
abilities. But even if you don't want to risk running your own
business, you are welcome to find job via Internet. There is a wide
range of vacancies offered: from nursing to top management, therefore
you can make a choice according to your personal skills and talents.
However, there are a lot of unemployed people, who consider it to be
very difficult to find appropriate job for immigrants in America. But
still, there are numerous examples of people achieving great success
in this country, thus there will always be people who piously believe
in American brilliant career opportunities.
Finally, let us turn to the concept of an American family. And there
is an interesting point that American people are considered to be the
most family orientated. An American family is associated with love,
tenderness, tolerance, understanding and care. May be it is the cause
of the fact that in the USA people do not hurry to get married.
Usually, men first make a career and only then create a family. As a
rule, it is the age of 40 and above when people are more caring about
their children, so devoting all the time and love to them. That is why
such families are the most successful. On the other hand, dreaming of
such American family, Russian ladies are thinking about big white
houses on the green lawn, up-to-date cars and accounts in Swiss banks.
But, nevertheless, an American-type family with its warm relationship
is something that people are still dreaming of.The American Dream
==================
Since 1886, nearly 40 million immigrants have arrived in the United
States and have become American citizens. Ethnic minorities now make
up one-forth of the U.S population, and by year 2010, it is predicted
to rise to one-third. Many of those immigrants sacrificed their jobs,
their relationships and connections, their educational levels and
languages to start a new life in America and succeed in reaching their
dream. So, what is the American Dream? What all these immigrants are
looking for in the United States? Is it fame? Is it fortune? One would
probably describe it as being rich and well known, some would imply to
have a lot of power. However, the general definition of the American
Dream is being able to get the highest level of education, being
successful in finding an appropriate job and creating a healthy and
happy family.
American education is considered to be one of the most prestigious.
One can get a good basis of knowledge with an opportunity of
specialization in schools, colleges and universities of the USA. What
is more important, students learn to be independent, confident and
purposeful from the first steps of their educational ladder. That is
why thousands of young people pass various tests to become an exchange
student and to study in "the land of dreams and opportunities".
Freedom Support Act, Soros Centre, Accels invite students to apply
their knowledge and to win the chance to "touch" the American Dream.
