I took out $110,000 in loans to go to a private school, Northwestern University.

DACA was actually announced on my college graduation day I was literally sitting at my ceremony in my cap/gown wondering what I was going to do with my life! Crazy coincidence, huh?

LOL, thanks for what I'm hoping is a compliment (but a backwards compliment at that).
I didn't know my status was "in jeopardy" when I took out my loans. In my TED talk, the first thing I say is that I learned about my undocumented status during my junior year of college.
And "LOL" @ "subpar university." Dude, I went to Northwestern University. You have some ridiculous standards if you think that's subpar.
