But of course I couldn't tell them any of this.
I was originally afraid to apply but very quickly realized that I have nothing to lose. So I wen't for it. And now when I'm trying to go to sleep all I can do is daydream about what I'm going to do in the coming months.  |
I feel you 100%. I wanted to go to college myself but I live in racist ass SC which made it illegal for undocumented students to even attend community college. They also made it mandatory for businesses to use e-verify so I couldn't get a job anywhere decent. My brothers hooked me up with a job in construction but then it got slow so we had no work. The depression hit in after a few months of being super broke. So I started my own online business and I have to admit, being undocumented has made me much more motivated to succeed.
I also was a bit hesitant since I have a heavy juvenile record, 4 counts of grand larceny, its a long story.
I said fuck it though its do or die.
