Before we came into the picture, those few or plentiful jobs available (depending on your city) were first available to citizend or legal residents. If these individuals were qualified to fill such positions, then theyd have said jobs. However, if those jobs havent been filled and now that many of us DREAMERS will be entering the workforce, qualify for said position, well, thats just the way the cookie crumbles. I have pondered many times over and over again, what if its fate?

What if its destined that a particular job be given to an approved DACA applicant? Citizens and legal residents were given first chance at thesJobs are given to the candidate who meets all or most of the qualifications.

Regarding college, we all know that to attend college one must pay their way for it. Whether by loans, grants, scholarships, or just out of pocket. I dont consider college to be an absolute "MUST", I see it as a personal choice. Some people like schooling, some people dont. If one has the means to pay for this, then it shouldnt really matter ones "status".

Before DACA came into the picture, in 2009, I was able to save enough $ to pay my way through a summer semester at a local college. I obtained alll A's in these classes. I wasnt able to continue going to college due to lack of money, but going to college, even for a short while, helped me realize that if given the opportunity, I was able to succeed in my classes.

Now that things have changed, I will be working and going to school to obtain my degree in my dream career.
