Benjamin Franklin Jason M Walter HIUS / 221 4/3/2011 Professor Long Benjamin Franklin, without doubt is a remarkable person in American history. What makes him such an icon of history is his passion to influence those around him. "Perhaps the most interesting and potentially useful part of Franklin's autobiography is his description of his self improvement project" (Murphy 2009). Benjamin Franklin made it a point to understand his weaknesses as well as the weaknesses of people he witnessed by their failures. He also had a clear goal of observing habits that led to success.

The United States of American has risen from an optimistic idea by our Founding Fathers and evolved into the great nation that it is today. It would be difficult to describe only one aspect of what makes America great, as there are many values and ideas which have not only shaped our nation, but inspired individuals at home and all around the world. The “American Dream” is a way of life, based on the idea that if you work hard you will be successful. This idea has endured for well over a century, and people have come to America from all over the world for opportunity and a better way of life. I know this firsthand and have felt the inspirational power of this belief, because my own Father came to the United States with very little money, but an incorrigible desire to work hard and succeed.
