Just having a drivers license and ssn the things i see a lot of my friends take for granted seems to get to me sometimes. Sometimes like you i get anxious. I actually suffer from anxiety so it has not been easy to be able to get by day to day. Something inside me keeps me going, faith, hope.. Im actually not too sure. All i know is that god is in the background keeping me going. Stay positive try to focus on other things that you enjoy. For example i like to design. I spend countless hours designing things on Adobe Photoshop etc.. I was brought here when i was about 5 years old. So i know how you feel now 20 years later not having a license or a legal way of working i had to find a way to stay optimistic about the future. Dont ever feel ashamed of who you are. Its hard to see others that have it easier than we do. But remember there are other who dont qualify for DACA because they aged out or many other reasons. Hope this give you a glimmer of hope or even a smile.

Thank you for your kind words and indeed brought a smile to my face. You are totally right I should feel somewhat lucky because not everyone qualified for the DACA. My head tells me to stay calm and patient but my heart is not that understanding . I often find myself sad and depress. In the most part because I can't do simple things like take my mom to the grocery store because I don't drive any more due to 3 infractions for driving without a license. It pains me to see my mom carrying all her heavy groceries knowing that she has a severe spinal cord disorder. But going forward I will keep positive attitude because I know now that I am lucky to have a chance to have a better life in this country.
