As a young woman growing up in today's society, the ideal American Dream for me is most likely different than the ideal American Dream for, example, a young man my age, my parents, or maybe a family member younger than myself. My ideal of the American Dream is a strong woman, who can balance family, career, and her own personal interests as evenly as possible. With that being said, the person that I believe best represents my idea of the American Dream is Tina Fey.
I chose just a picture of Tina Fey herself because it'd be impossible to choose a picture of one of her many accomplishments. She's been acclaimed for her work on SNL, especially her Sarah Palin Skit, 30 Rock(which she helped create), and movies like Baby Mama. She's not only a great comedic actress, but writer. She has received seven Emmy Awards, three Golden Globes, four Screen Actors Guild Awards, four Writers Guild of America awards, and the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. In addition to her great work repertoire, she has been married for ten years, which is nearly a lifetime in Hollywood, and has two young children.
All of these things seem nice, but they are just the fundamental facts for why she is the American Dream. She has achieved success in her work, establishing herself as an actress and a writer, a wife, and a mother. She's independent, but works hard for her family and for her fans. She's achieved the balance of work, family, and self, and is a role model for women everywhere. She's famous for all of the right reasons, something very hard to find.
