Part 1 Hickson

Personal definition to American Dream: Since I was a child👦, I knew that the most distinctive labels of America were equality and freedom💬. They also believed that everyone was pursuing freedom and good rights. Although I have only been in the United States for more than half a year, I have been keen on watching NBA and NCAA since I was a child, and I also like to listen to English songs in my daily life📶📶📶. Therefore, I have some knowledge about American or developing celebrities in the United States. In modern times, the American dream seems to be that many unknown little people rely on their own expertise and efforts to gradually become household names in a field.😼 Now that I'm in Toronto, I have to mention one of my favorite basketball stars: Pascal Siakam. I believe that most fans, like me, first paid attention to him because he came from Africa, and his basketball foundation is not many years, but his physical quality is very top, his arm span and athletic ability are super presence in power forward🏀. He became an integral part of the Toronto Raptors and won a championship with the team over the years.✌🏆 It was a classic case of the little guy becoming famous. If Mbah A Moute had not held a training camp in Africa, Siakam would not have found his talent for basketball for the rest of his life, and he would not have decided to go to the United States, where he could have done better. So the American dream can be an opportunity for success. 😏😏

Next, I will talk about the unrivalled, handsome and brilliant singer😍😍😍: Shawn Mendes. In today's era of rapid development of the Internet, people with extraordinary talents on the Internet are easy to be found by people and forwarded to others💣💣. Shawn Mendes is the singer who is known by the Internet and also has achieved great success in reality in this era of big data. He was first known for his cover videos on Youtube before signing up for a music company. 🎯I've been a fan of his since I heard him sing "Treat You Better," 💗and I personally feel that his work is both youthful for his age and mature for his own ideas. Most of the time, these celebrities don't even know they could become so successful. 😗😗

The last person I'd like to introduce is probably one of the most famous basketball stars in the world: Stephen Curry.💪💪 I've always believed that Curry's success, especially in China, is due not just to his impressive dribbling and shooting skills, but also to his friendly appearance and emotional intelligence in public speaking.😎 These are things that are well known, so that he can gain more popularity and revenue than the other basketball stars. As a basketball fan , I'm more interested in Curry's career, especially his college career, because he looked small and thin 🙈🙈when he played in the NCAA, many media publisher and pundits didn't think he could make it in the NBA.💫 The first time he was known by people, it was during the March Madness of the 2008 season, when Davidson University was the no. 10 seed in the North ,Curry led the way through several of the best performances of the season(incredible comebacks), Davidson overcame opponents who were stronger overall. I always get excited when I watch these games.😭😭😭😭
