Raisin in the sun first thing

1. My personal dream for myself in the next 5 years is to go to college for free. 2. A big dream for myself is to be financially stable and have a family. 3. If I have a failure I get angry or sad but then I work harder to try to better myself and make the dream come true. 4.
