My son has an awesome girlfriend. Please listen and help.
She was brought to this country as a toddler, grew up as American as you and me. If you met her, you would think she was born here. She is intelligent, hard working, high performer in school, active in sports and even helps to support her family, that consists of her mother and 2 younger sisters. She has a job and pays taxes. I look at this woman as truly college bound, possibly becoming a doctor, an engineer, or even an astronaut. Her abilities, ambition and commitment to furthering her education is stronger than anyone else I know, even my own children.
She is, and will be, a great contributor to our society.
I wonder how many of these highly talented high school seniors are denied the opportunity to give back? How many are in the top 25% of their class, ready, willing and wanting to go to a US college?
But wait, there IS help. It's called Deferred Action Against Childhood Arrivals (DACA). It provides those brought here as a child the opportunity to obtain a work permit, a drivers license and even a social security number so they can go to college.
This young lady and I got so excited when we found this. The criteria was perfect for her - no criminal record, proof of residency, everything lined up. The show stopper, $465 application fee.
For a 17 year old that works, goes to school (even taking college classes with the early start program), and contributes to the family support, this amount is unsurmountable.
Help me help her reach her maximum potential, fulfill her dream of being able to go to college in the US. Let's not lose this talent.
