Trust is something that I have always taken seriously. Once someone loses my trust, gaining it back is hard. I have found it hard to trust a lot of people. Only my closest friends really have my trust. Lately I have found that you cannot trust anyone because, in high school things spread faster than you can blink. I have found myself to be a very trust worthy person because I know the feeling of having your trust betrayed, it really is the worst feeling.
My friends are some of the most trusting people I know. I'm sure that everyone says that about all their friends.I truly believe that my friends are the best. I have lost trust in a lot of people, and only one of them has been able to gain it back entirely. I tend to not let many people in because of things I may hear about them or just simply because I don't want to be let down.
Forgiving is the hardest part about gaining trust back. Learning to forgive is never an easy and hurts emotionally. I have learned from experience that once trust is lost it is never gained back completely. I find it hard to trust people because of experiences that I have gone through and realized it is not worth getting hurt in the end. On the positive side, I do believe that it is necessary to have people you can trust so that you can go to them in a time of need.

When I was a little girl I always wanted 3 wishes from genie. If i received those 3 wishes I would have wished for what all little kids would say, world peace, feed the hunger, and of course an unlimited amount of toys. As I got a little bit older I realized that genies did not exist and my heart broke, but I eventually learned about witches and how they were awful people. What I didn't understand was that witch craft was a huge problem in Massachusetts in 1692.
Rumors have been spread around that Salem End Road in Framingham was a place where witch craft has taken place. There is a house on Salem end that is creepy and old. Some have even been in this house and seen the old mail that was sent, and even old credit cards. Although some of these rumors may be exaggerated it is still pretty cool living in a town where there has been talk of witch craft. Although, witch craft is cool, it is also very creepy to think about because, much of there rituals Satan was claimed to be involved.
I still wish I could meet a genie and have 3 wishes. My wishes may have changed since then, but I still know that I will never get 3 wishes and if I want what I want I will have to work for it and live the American dream. Witch craft is not something that many people find interesting, they find it scary.

The Puritain dream
Many cultures came to America for a better life because they believed that coming to America all their dreams would come true and all their troubles would be resolved. The puritans think of themselves as more pure than other men. The American dream is about equality and working for what you want. The puritans came to America that all their troubles would just go away and that they could start over. Puritans had a dream of their own. It was said in the Dream of the Good life on page thirteen "it is only because of their dream that those Americans who followed had theirs.". The puritans may have come here for religious purposes, they also came to America for a dream they could not pursue in England.
I perssonally think that puritans deserve the reputaion that they were givin, because if they were not givin the reputaion in the first place they would not deserve it. Puritans think that they are the most pure and that they are above all the rest. When the puritans came to America they thought all of their problems would go away in a blink of an eye but if you lived in America you would know that nothing comes that easily and to live the American dream you have to work for what you want.
Many immigrants came to America for a better life and to see their troubles away. The imigrants expects life to be easy and things to come easily to them. The puritans have made a bad name for themselves and I believe that they should keep that name because thet have not proved their reputaion to be any better. They came here for religious purposes but then they ended up living the American dream through their own set dream. They came here with an amition to practice religion however they want.

The American dream is an array of goals that Americans tend to achieve during the span of their life. My parents have both worked hard to find the freedom of home ownership. My mom works very hard at what she does every day to support my family. I have found myself following in the foot steps of my mother by working hard to acquire good grades and doing well in sports. My dad has had trouble with the recession, like many he lost his job. However, losing his job has not stopped him from supporting my family. My parents have both inspired me to do well in everything i do. Before every sport i have tried out for my dad always tells me " Be the best that you can be". Hearing thats so many times, i learned that nothing comes easily and you must work to reach your goals.
My grandparents have taught my mother and father so much. I have been lucky enough to grow up in a home that has taught me to never give up on something you believe in. My parents have been taught to always be honest and to never take anything for granted. I believe that those two qualities have given me a better perspective on the world and what to expect as i get older. I truly hope that i have gained both of these qualities from my family.
Getting what you want and exactly what you want has never been and option in my house. Although if you work hard for what you want usually you will be rewarded. I have always been pushed to do the best i can even if the outcome is not what strived for. My mom and dad have gone through a lot with my older brother. Things have been difficult for him, but they always have pushed him to work hard and just get through the day. The American dream puts a certain pressure on parents to work to the best of their ability. Most parents, if not all, want there children to do well in life and pursue their dreams, just like they did.
