On April 23 2011, just one day before Easter Sunday, Danielle wasn't looking for any Easter eggs or making friends with a big eared, oval eyed, snow white Easter bunny. Instead, she decided to take a trip to the Olympic Centennial Park in downtown Atlanta, Georgia. On that Saturday afternoon, Danielle, spent most of the day, walking around in the hot Georgia sun, randomly approaching women, men, and teenagers from all walks of life and begging them for one minute of their time to take the American Dreamer Survey.
The American Dreamer Survey is an assessment tool designed by Danielle Leach (author of American Dreamer), used to evaluate the views of various people concerning the American Dream. The survey is a very short survey that takes less than 2 minutes to complete. The focal question of the survey asks participants to answer the following: WHAT IS THE FIRST THING THAT COMES TO MIND WHEN YOU THINK OF THE AMERICAN DREAM?
Here are some of the responses:
Accomplished
Football
The Dream
Our President
Celebrity
Singer
Dance
Freedom
Unity
Pilgrims
Freedom
Hopeful
Before the book is sent to the printer, Danielle expects to conduct at least 3 more surveys that will take place in random public places throughout New York City, Atlanta, and several other metropolitan cities across the country. The main goal of her survey is to learn varying perspectives on the social construct of the American Dream and to see how these views impact each individual’s life and their decisions and motivations. The results of the survey are explained in greater detail in her upcoming book, American Dreamer due to be released December 2015.
