Rep. Jared Polis of Colorado's 2nd District in Congress has a series of stories being posted on CNN. In his latest one he says:

"The most moving event for me of the weekend, however, was the "I Have a Dream" Adoption Ceremony in Boulder. The "I Have a Dream" Program finds private sponsors to help groups of second and third-graders from underprivileged families with mentorship, after-school programs, and scholarships to help them graduate high school and successfully attend college.

To urgently eager yet rightfully jaded ears, I spoke, in Spanish and in English, about the Dream Act, which would provide a pathway to citizenship for the children of undocumented immigrants who succeed in school, allowing them to attend college and live the American Dream.

It was hard to keep a dry face as each "dreamer" stood and talked about his or her dreams. While many wanted to be professional athletes and doctors, two said they wanted to be president of the United States. I jotted down their names and hope to include them in my youth advisory task force to help them get a start in public service. Who knows, maybe in 30 years, President Edgar Chavarria will appoint me to be his Secretary of Education!"
