... but there are just some that are so impressive and where only shared once written by people who have an ability to write and really cause emotions on the reader. I think some stories needs to be heard more often. I have been here for a while now, and I still remember some of the stories from very early in my membership to this site. Stories that made me feel strength in knowing that someone else was out there struggling and going through a lot worse and still looking up and achieving so much and overcoming obstacles that I would have considered next to impossible.

I recall the story of the person that was molested by a family member, but due to her cultural background was essentially ignored by her family, whose sole parent was facing mental issues, but who found the strength to tell her story and stays in a church helping other people. Or the story that demonstrate that even a person of native american blood could be banned based on how much of his blood may be considered from which tribe, and how as a result of a parent from two different tribes because one parent is a certain gender and from a certain tribe he is not recognized by the US as being legally here.

Or the countless stories of struggles and challenges people have faced by coming out, some denoting the dangers that should be of extreme importance for the dreamer community to take into consideration and some denoting the relief immense help in being able to gain a little freedom from this very restrictive status.

There are many stories, but reading through several hundred stories to find the few hidden gems and everyone having to do the same is not very efficient, not when this is a site that appears so early when anyone searches dream act on google so we probably get a few people that are just curious about what the dream act really is, and are not going to spent hours reading through n00bs saying how they think this is a great site, or who just write 'hi' as their first comment, or who are just not willing to actually share their story yet.

I like the idea of highlighting some of the stories.
