I
used
to
believe
in
the
American
Dream,
which
meant
a
job, a
mortgage (
按揭
), credit cards
and
wanted it and worked
toward it like everyone else, all of us
__1__ chasing the same
thing.
One
year,
through
a
series
of
unhappy
events,
it
all
fell
found
myself
homeless
and
had
my
truck
and
$$

the
countryside for some place I could rent
for the __3__ possible

upon
a
shabby
house

miles
up
a
winding
mountain
road
over
the
Potomac
River
in
West
was

，
full
of
broken
glass
and
found
the
owner,
rented
it,
and

a
corner to
camp in.
The
locals knew nothing about me, but slowly, they
started
teaching
me

off
blankets,

and
began
sticking
around

started
to
teach
me
a
belief
in
a

American
Dream
—
not
the one of individual achievement but
of __9__.
What
I
had
believed
in,
all
those
things
I
thought
were
__10__
for
a
civilized
life,
were
nonexistent
in
this
on
the
mountain,
my most valuable possessions were my __11__ with
my neighbors.
Four
years
later,
I
moved
back
into
__12__.I
saw
many
people
were
having
a
really
hard
time,
__13__
their
jobs
and
managed to rent a big
enough house to take in a handful of

four of us now in the
house, but over time I’ve had nine people
come in and move on to other ‘d all be
in __14__ if we hadn’t
banded together.
The American
Dream I believe in now is a shared ‘s not so
much about what I can get for myself;
it’s about how we can all
get by
