My Life

Postby almaa_forever2 » Mon Apr 01, 2013 5:50 pm

I am 17 years old and am a senior at my high school. recently like any other senior i started looking at colleges to better my future, but now i know that probably wont happen. the college i want to go to requires me to get a loan and being an illegal immigrant that has been denied to me. i got my hopes up that maybe once i got a social and a work permit that would change but it didnt because the DACA law doesnt give me a legal status it just gives me the right to work in this country.idk what to do i worked so hard all my school years had good grades and now i feel like its all for nothing its like dejavu all over again because when i was in middle school i was denied a private high school that i really wanted to go to just because i didnt have a social security number even though i had met all their criteria. i always work my butt off to succeed in school but it looks like that doesnt matter. i dont want to be like my sisters, brothers, and parents working in the fields or at packing houses. i want to be a medical assistant that has always been my dream i dont want to come home with cuts and bruises and sunburned, i want to come home in scrubs and happy about the job i have i have applied to millions of scholarship but most i get denied due to my legal status and others i dont even hear back from. i have two months until i go in summer vacations and then my unsupportive mother will start forcing me to pay rent. idk what will happen after that because i cant pay for school and rent at the same time i cant get student loans or financial aid but i also refuse to be just another field worker i have hopes and dreams but reality and economy are forcing me into miserable state of mind:(

((((Hugs))))) I'm sorry I don't have much advice on this I don't know much about it, but I'm sorry you're in pain and struggling to achieve your dreams at the moment. Just know you're not alone

Much love
