Dreams are not something we should give up on. The only time that we should give up on a dream is if we either lose absolute interest in pursuing it or if we find ourselves so bent on pursuing another dream that said interest outshines whatever passion we ever had originally. Our dreams can change, but all that truly matters is that we stay with them, no matter how they may alter. Dreams are the bane of the existence of everything everyone will ever achieve.

I like "dropout" as an addition to the American Dream language because it's brief and it's clear. What I don't like is that we use it almost entirely as a dirty word.
