I don't believe that to be true, my family has no money to put up so to speak...she scored almost perfect on her SAT's ... Her mother is unemployed and her dad who knows....her GPA In high School was like a 4.5 or 5 ...she chose Yale but any one of them were offering a fully paid scholarship to attend their Universities ...she will graduate debt free.

This makes me really proud. I am at an Ivy League school teaching an undergraduate course (can't say which class or which school because my research advisor has been awesome and don't want to get anybody in trouble) and I am back to being undocumented again. My DACA renewal failed to be renewed even though i submitted by renewal forms a couple weeks after it first open.

All i want to say is that we should never let go of our dreams. We are Dreamers for a reason. One day this will resolved.

Damn, I wish I could be that chick. I don't have the brain thought. As many excuses as I could make, Calstatela and Caltech had to suffice for me. .... fuck it lol I'm tired and sleepy. I better go get me a glass of wine. Maybe in my next life time I'll have more open doors.
