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　36　chasing the same thing.　

One year, through a series of unhappy events, it all fell　37　. I found myself homeless and alone. I had my truck and $56. I　38　the countryside for some place I could rent for the　39　 possible amount. I came upon a shabby house four miles up a winding mountain road　40　the Potomac River in West Virginia. It was　41　, full of broken glass and rubbish. I found the owner, rented it, and　42　a corner to camp in.　

The locals knew nothing about me, 　43　slowly, they started teaching me the　44　of being a neighbor. They dropped off blankets, candles, and tools, and began　45　around to chat. They started to teach me a belief in a　46　American Dream—not the one of individual achievement but of　47　.　

What I had believed in, all those things I thought were　48　for a civilized life, were nonexistent in this place. 　49　on the mountain, my most valuable possessions were my　50　with my neighbors.　

Four years later, I moved back into　51　. I saw many people were having a really hard time, 　52　their jobs and homes. I managed to rent a big enough house to　53　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　54　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　55　we can all get by together.
