I used to believe in the American Dream, which meant a job, a mortgage (按揭), credit cards, success. I wanted it and worked toward it like everyone else, all of us 21 chasing the same thing.

One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell 22 . I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I 23 the countryside for some place I could rent for the 24 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road 25 the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was 26 , full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and 27 a corner to camp in.

The locals knew nothing about me, 28 slowly, they started teaching me the 29 of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began 30 around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a 31 American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of 32 .

What I had believed in, all those things I thought were 33 for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 34 on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my 35 with my neighbors.

Four years later, I moved back into 36 I saw many people were having a really hard time, 37 their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to 38 a handful of people. There are four of us now in the house, but over time I’ve had nine people come in and move on to other places. We’d all be in 39 if we hadn’t banded together.

The American Dream I believe in now is a shared one. It’s not so much about what I can get for myself; it’s about 40 we can all get by together.
