My Mother, Kasia and Her American Dream is the story of my mother and her incredible life. All her childhood and her early adulthood life, she was dreaming about America. Her strong dream became reality. She came to this beautiful country in 1974. There was not one day for forty-two years being in Chicago that she ever complained. Her life was full of struggles. As an immigrant and a single woman with three children, she loved every day being in America. Having had the opportunity to work, to give a better life to her children and grandchildren, she felt so lucky. Her American dream was so strong that it gave her energy to become someone special that her children, grandchildren, and others close to her were so proud of. She gave her children what all people, immigrants from all over the world, wish to give their childrena freedom and a better life.
