Star student not allowed back into U.S. because of illegal past

This is the PERFECT reason why no one should leave the U.S.,unless they are absolutely positive it is the right decision for themselves.This video surrounds a female student who wanted to do the right thing & come back to the United States legally using an F1 student visa,but since she was in the United States illegally her application was obviously denied.

You can watch her experience as a dreamer in her unsuccessful attempt at trying to return to the US here.

Quote:

Daniella Aguado wanted to be an english teacher ever since high school, and at 21 years old, she has succeeded.

Success was never a foreign concept for Daniella - especially at Mountain View High School in Mesa.

"I had a wonderful experience in high school. I love studying," says Daniella "I had good grades."

"Good" is putting it politely. Out of over 800 seniors, Daniella graduated in the top 15, with well above a 4.0 GPA.

She was in the National Honor Society and tutored other students which led her to teaching.............

.............. "I did all I had to do. I did the exams. I did the applications. I got accepted." Daniella got a scholarship to Brigam Young University in Utah.

But it wasn't enough. Because of a secret that even her fondest teachers didn't know about.

Daniella had been living in the US illegally since she was 13 - and all the brains in the world wouldn't change that.

And if she wanted her scholarship, she would have to go back to Mexico alone, and apply for a student visa. So she did.

"And that's when they told me I couldn't receive the student visa because i have lived in the states without a student visa before. And that probably I was taking advantage of the country and the government." Daniella recalls.

oh my gosh, I was thinking of going back to Canada and coming back but since this happen, I guess I will wait it out in the United States.

I guess D.A. isn't eligible for the D.A. then.

Poor girl.
