^^ That's how I see it too. While I still hope for and care about the Dream Act, recently I've begun to realize that I cannot put my life on hold any longer while I sit here and wait for it to pass. Maybe it's because I am getting older and I'm starting to understand life a little better, or maybe I am just tired of watching great opportunities pass me by. Either way, I know that I need to consider other options or at least do as much as I can with the limitations caused by this situation. Truth is, I used to have so much confidence in the Dream Act and I believed all the pretty words that came out of Obama's mouth. I still have hope, but with each day that hope starts to fade.
