Even though I'm a Junior in High School, I'm already thinking about my plans after graduation, which I think it's a pretty smart thing to do. I honestly believe I have many opportunities, but those opportunities COST a lot of money. At the end of my Junior year I will be applying to many scholarships, I was recommended to sign up for private scholarship, because they don't really care about your citizenship status (most of them). I've had so many great people give me advise and share great ideas with me, one which is a good friend I met through the JROTC program, I sincerely look up to this guy, He's also an undocumented student like myself, Last school year he graduated and had earned up to 5 (ish) Scholarships, maybe more..I'm not sure, But the thing is, He's a prime example of WHY we need change, because people like him, deserve it. He's now in College , Living a normal "college" kid life...without the expenses!, He shared with me all of his scholarship resources, which I truly appreciate!. My friend is not "open" about his status in this country, and has asked me not to tell anyone. With that being said, I'm still stuck and I can't figure out what I want to do when I graduate....well, it's not that I don't know, I just can't choose, It's driving crazyyyyy!, Theirs so much I want to do, and honestly I think I can be all I want to be, despite my legal status. In the end, I know I'll make a wise choice and won't regret it.
