Mr. the Boatman and Mr. ddh, I hope that you will never have to give up your dreams as many of us
Who are in this country with or without papers have had to. Comments from people without feelings or who are ignorant in regard to the struggles we encounter to improve our life style through education only make us stronger and more persistent to accomplish our dreams. Consider that they are not only our individual dreams, but they are the dreams of our parents as well. We have not asked for you to pay for our education, only for the opportunity to receive one. Individuals without papers are not allowed to request financial assistance through loans, financial aide or scholarships. Our parents pay 100% of our tuition.
Thank you!

Certainly the opportunity to receive an education should be available with the understanding that individuals play by the rules. No dream is worth achieving if it is supported by a base of deception and lies. Please consider the feelings of those living here legally who may not have the financial support of their parents. The narrow-minded view that one is entitled to overstep basic laws is arrogant, self-indulgent, and apparently too common today for those who struggle and of little honor.
