Also what are your actual dreams? - Page 2

I'd still rather have that visa/gc

Regardless or whether I find a way to attain a green card or not, it will not change the experiences I have faced growing up undocumented and the challenges I faced, everything shaped how I currently think and act, and it will continue affecting what I may discuss about my past to anyone that I talk to.

With that mentioned, I has been over the past year, and in particular over the past couple of weeks that have allowed me to realize the immense value in what I am capable of accomplishing and how the life right now can be such a positive attribute that has strengthened my own character and feeling of self worth.

Over the past couple of weeks I have given presentation, I have encouraged people to apply themselves, I have interviewed with people, I have talked to people in power, I have participated in demonstrations, rallies, press releases, etc., and I have met someone that I have talked to for hours on end and realized by talking to that person the incredible stories I have been able to develop from being undocumented.

And I have never felt safer than right now, even though the circumstances still seem dire and require great care in what we do.

Being undocumented, I no longer know what my dream will be in 10 years or even 5 years from now, it is too uncertain to think far ahead under the current circumstances when so much in changing and I rather not think about it, but instead, my dreams are composed of short term goals, what school will I speak to, what events will I plan, who will I address, and whether everything makes coherent sense and is for the greater good of the people around me and myself, including the people I represent.

I'm really glad you're doing that. Congrats on the success.

I understand short term goals because that is what we can accomplish under our circumstances. I also live life with the purpose of enjoying each and everyday. I only do things that make me happy, and if they don't I stop doing them. And I understand there is so much that I can do even with our limitations, but what I really want to do I'm not allowed to and those are my dreams. I understand dreams can change, but the things I want to do haven't changed since I was 13. And I don't expect them too. Going to college and getting a degree in chemistry is one of my dreams, but I'm doing that now so I didn't list it.

I also really want to roadtrip across the US. I want to visit every state though. On a motorcycle.

1. Travel to the end of the world
2. Get an amazing job with my Mechanical Engineering degree
3. Get my MBA while working, move up the corporate ladder
4. Marry the man I love. Two kids

Haha that's the American Dream isn't it? That's all I really want.
