Dealing with life in the US - Page 2

only thing you can do is lay down and rot

Oh I could write a book about my challenges. I am actually...It won't ever see the light of day for as long as I'm alive but it'll be written.

I've had lot of challenges as an ex-Dreamer.

For a long time being illegal affected me but when I started changing my mind set it becomes a much smaller part in my life. Having DACA definitely helps but I know plenty of full illegals who are successful.

I try not to think about it too much. I make 25 years here in June (arrived from Spain at the age of 4). Yea, I feel like I was robbed of what could have been a better life but I try to remain positive and think of the good experiences, people and opportunities I’ve garnered along the way. My s/o of 10 years is illegal and working on resolving that issue. I can’t talk to anyone about it cause that is a whole other story My mother is still illegal. It’s a shit show of a life but one must try to look at life with glass half full eyes. I’m healthy, I work in Tech for an amazing company in NY. Just gotta keep the faith and take it one day at a time.

Become an overachiever, develop resilience, and be grateful that I have/had DACA.

I can never understand depressed DACA dreamers, I mean just look around at those who aged out.

Why are you still here

cool story bro

To support Dreamers since I was once one.

Thanks, I'm hoping the same opportunity opens up to other dreamers too.
