I believe the American Dream is like snow in your yard. Each layer represents the beauty and the complexities of life. Most of the top is beautiful, sparkly and smooth like the way everyone strives to make their life. Parts of the top layer are like a discolored patch of snow; there may be some spots in your life that don't go the way you planned. Footprints or marks pressed into the snow may be the negative people or things that influence you. Underneath the top layer of snow is the opportunities you were given, the hardships you faced, and the time it took to get to where you are now. You are still hopeful and thankful though for your next opportunity (the next snow fall) where you can strive for perfection.
This is different from some people's perspectives because it may seem to them that there is never another snowfall. This also could be due to their attitude which separates people's ideas of the "Dream".
