Your absolutely right that we will be graded harder and perhaps that is the reality of immigration in this country. It is hard and now that I am older I see that it becomes harder, but the fact that the DREAM Act even exists gives hope towards the fact that this country acknowledges the presence of kids willing to accomplish things. I put all my heart into my education because I saw the way my parents worked, and how they would sacrifice themselves just to pay the rent and they continue to do that even though they have decided to go their separate ways. I wanted to break that. I wanted to be their hope and the result of their hard work, and it is sad to say that I can't do that, yet. Yes it is right that I learned the hard way and I feel that part of my freedom is being taken away, but the fact is that there needs to be greater organizations better considerations towards the immigrant people, this may be a hardship, but there is something that can always be gained that can make life more worthwhile and stronger. Perhaps the students that are willing to fight for the DREAM Act are the ones that will be the leaders towards the kids that just need to that extra little push or help towards dealing with their situations.
