As to how we can improve the dream act, well there have been discussion in trying to change the term people use from illegal immigrant to undocumented immigrant and some are trying to change the term to dreamer, however, I feel that those terms are still dehumanizing in nature. It is a common issue that is observed through industrial organizational psychology where it easy for someone to say to fire 30 carpenters or hire 20 engineers, in this case the term carpenter or engineer dehumanizes the individual it represents and it would be much harder to say fire John.

I think a good strategy is to come out with more stories of exceptional dreamers that will become the face of the DREAM Act, more and many dreamers who are going through with higher education, who are the most likely members of society that would be able to contribute greatly to this nation through their exceptional skills, and its why I am aiming dreamers that could go to college to apply, and planning to work with IYJL and my university to target dreamers as early as middle school to let them know that it is possible to get higher levels of education so that they may be encouraged to graduate and my university is taking it a step further in how they visualize this but they would like to have people in this predicament helping dreamers that are still in secondary ensure that they have access to information, resources and help with someone that they can relate to, and I think that is a pretty good option.

There are indeed many dreamers within here that are exceptional in their own ways, who have amazed considerable amount of knowledge regarding the immigration issue, who are far more experienced than even a lot of the counselors or psychologists on this issue, and that is something else to target, sources where dreamers might reach out to first to ensure that there is a way that they could get their questions answered and ensure the mitigation of their worries or concerns, as well as ensuring counselors, teachers and anyone that is likely to become a source of first contact knows where they can go for more information.

I don't think that most americans are against the DREAM Act, polls time and time again show that, but I think many that are against the DREAM Act are only against it because the information that they are getting is incorrect, or they are attributing dreamers to a very biased look of an individual that simply jumped the border to take advantage of this country and not work. I am committed to this country, I am a dreamer and I will continue on giving my time to ensuring resources are available not just for dreamers for the purpose of the DREAM Act, but as a nerd in the renewable energy field I have been elected to a position in my university's renewable energy organization and will be giving presentations in public schools of Chicago on sustainability on my own free time.

Look being undocumented is not an all encompassing issue, we can still function in society. Yes, there are many challenges that we must overcome, challenges that the average person does not have to worry about or overcome, but its not impossible. I have been able to complete internships in labs while in high school of which I am pretty certain there is no way in hell I could have been able to intern in because of the very high technology involved which is not available other countries, I will be working on projects next semester tackling technology that will ultimately be a contribution to the mass of knowledge on the field, we can still do a lot if we are willing to get there, if we don't allow immigration to be the factor that define us, and in the end, it will only make our stories that much stronger.
