Yeah, I read your whole post (I'm used to reading and writing long things, LoL), and your story's pretty much like mine as well.
With the exception I've only been out of High School for one year, and haven't found a job yet.
Here where I live, I can't go to my Community College cuz it requires a social. The next one in the next county over doesn't, but I'd pay three times as more to go as an international student. Unfortunately I don't have the money for that... so I've been trying to do the same thing as you, get a job and save up.
But I'll only keep on that route until we hear from the Dream Act. If it doesn't pass (IT WILL!), plan B is to go somewhere else where I'll be better appreciated, and shame on the U.S. for losing yet another bright person.

Keep your chin up!
I won't let this situation get me down, because even if it doesn't work out here, it'll work out somewhere down the road of my life.
You should think the same way!
