Students risk dreams -- and deportation -- in walk for recognition

Quote:

When he first arrived in the United States, 14-year-old Felipe Matos liked to go to the supermarket after school just to walk the aisles.

"There was so much food! I would just look at the milk -- there's like 50 types of milk!"

Miami, Florida, was a world apart from the poor neighborhood in Brazil where he was raised by a single mother and older sister. Now 24, he recalls "lacking everything" at home in Duque de Caxias, on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro.

I see myself in Felipe a little bit =)
Our stories match in quite a few places.

Sad, sad, sad. I hurt so much reading these stories. We need justice..
