BACKSTORY

HOW
THIS WEBSITE
STARTED

_______________________________________________________

The idea of an English Dream website started in
Spring 2026 after I cancelled my Green card
application for Los Angeles due to suddenly
exploding immigration fees.

As a teacher in a prison in London I am confronted
weekly with negative wording about all, often also
about the English government and nation.

There is a need for a positive narration with a
potential to inspire people in a new way to progress,
to upskill themselves and to realize their dreams.

I learned what COVID did with young people when
I lived in Tokyo when COVID started in the harbour
of Yokohama and at once people lost their big
dreams, jobs and future perspectives.


I had for a year around the American dream in my
class as a worksheet. I stopped that because this is
no more functioning for the majority of citizens.

THE IDEA
BEHIND AN UPDATED
ENGLISH DREAM

_______________________________________________________

"It needs an updated English dream" I said
to myself, far more than just buying a house
or earning more than my parents did.
Everybody has a right for a big dream,
especially when that big dream is based
on values as enriching a society.

_________________________________________

Many young people lack the hope that their
lifes will be better than their parents.
ADHD and other neurodivergent issues can
label them for a lifetime when we forget
to mention and emphasize their skills,
strengths and potential.

May this website be a platform for many
people to develop their big dreams or to
restart their lost or broken dreams again
in England.

We are living in 2026 and innovation is key.
