It's encouraging to see so much more media and support for the DREAM Act in this pivotal year. It gives me great hopes to see such momentum.
But as i watched Nancy's story i couldn't help but feel a deep emptiness inside of me, a great sadness filling me slowly. I see so much potential in this young woman, in her peers at UCLA, in the Hurtados at Santa Clara University, in my younger sister, in Cintia from Houston, Ana from Sacramento, Erick, Fernando,Fermin, Gladys, Ju,Karla, Seung,Perna, Mohammed, Gilbert,Juan, Piash, Tam, Eduardo, Mark, Maria, Carlo,Tom. In countless others.
I see their faces.
their hopes.
And it kills me to feel so impotent.
