The new American Dream Challenge.

I have been facing challenges for months, but I know they come to us all.

Lately, during my moments of solitude, I have been thinking about my father. He has a strong love for America and the American dream. The idea that in America, anyone can achieve their goals resonates with him.

Despite the uncertainty of the American dream, I am genuinely grateful to my father for this gift.

I recently discovered that one of my friends has lived in this country for 12 years and has just published a book. For various reasons, she didn't believe that she could accomplish this goal. But she did it anyway. Something that people like her or me could never achieve in Cuba.

Meavy, the American dream needs adaptation. America evolves.

Dreams can still come true for those taking one step at a time. Even if they fall, they get back up and keep moving forward - with tears in their eyes, if necessary. Nothing inspires the human spirit more than overcoming obstacles with grace and gratitude.

Last but not least, I challenge you to reinvent the American dream, to believe in yourself, and to pursue your goals.

I challenge you to maintain faith in your family and friends and to believe in a new American dream that we, the people, will create.
