Because those are some of the tough situations that we face here, and I don't consider them desirable.

Seriously, we all need to change our way of thinking, if there's no other way of legalizing here and these Alabama-like immigration laws keep being signed into law, it's time to consider moving out of the country and I intend on following my own advice.

I have to give credit to the Dreamers that stopped waiting for the Dream Act/CIR Reform and either got their status fixed by either leaving the country and returning, fixing it within the country, or those that left the country for good to their home countries or another country, in my opinion, they made the right decisions.

I'm going to miss out on 10 years of seeing my nieces and nephews grow, of being able to spend Christmases and New Years with my family completely drunk and passing out, and 10 years of having a country separate me from the people I love.

I'll leave what means the world to me against all heartbreak. The soul needs room to fly and you can't fly if you are always terrified. 2013 will be the last year I will hold out hope.

I hope the DREAM Act does eventually pass even if I'm no longer in the country. God knows we've endured a lot over this. I hope its not in vain and people will be able to take advantage of this piece of legislation.

I recently saw video of when I parents visited and was shocked to not recognize almost anyone. I may know some of their voices from the very few and rushed phone conversations, but I would not have been able to recognize most people, still did not recognize some of the people even when my parents told me who they were.

As challenging as it may be I am staying here and won't give up
