Quote of the day by Marco Rubio: 'American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood' and the story of An American Son

Marco Rubio said the American Dream is often misunderstood and is not about becoming rich or famous.

Rubio defines the American Dream as a happy home, safety, freedom of worship, good education, financial security, and leaving children better off.

Rubio described his parents, who worked as a bartender and a maid, and their dream of giving their children a college degree.

He used Pell grants, student loans, work study, and summer jobs to pay for college because his parents could not save for his education.

Rubio's 2012 memoir is titled 'An American Son', and he served as Florida Senator before becoming Secretary of State.
