Context: This is for my final english paper but I want some opinions if I can to help get me started and add to my essay. The prompt is:
Is the American Dream real?
Please add reasoning as to why your think it is or isn't (no in between). Thank you.

The American Dream is the ideal by which equality of opportunity is available to any American, allowing the highest aspirations and goals to be achieved. I believe the American Dream is real and achievable, because no matter how small you start, you will be able to move higher and move closer to your goals in America through hard work. This is called social mobility which is the key part of the American dream, and it successfully allows it to happen. Many immigrants who were motivated by the American Dream to move to America have worked hard, and are now very successful so this shows that the American Dream is real. In many other countries, if you worked that hard many times nothing will happen. Another part of the American Dream is equality and freedom. In the present, America has a lot more freedom and equality than other countries. It has democracy that allows everyone to be heard, and anyone can do anything they want no matter what their race, gender, and ethnicity are. These are the key points of the American Dream and they are all happening so that is why I believe the American Dream is real.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
