Anonymous Immigrant

Hello and welcome to my blog! I have chosen to have my name private because I want people to know me for me not by name. This blog is mainly about my struggles and hardships that I go through on a daily because I am undocumented in the USA. I was born in Colombia and came here in 2002.

I forgot to mention in my last post about the interview that when I got there there were other DREAMers there.  It was the first time I have really been around other DREAMErs and it felt pretty good.  I wans’t really talking to them because I didnt know them but when they were talking they would have little remarks I guess you can call it referring to them being undocumented and in my head I was just like “omg yes!”.  I knew exactly what they meant because I’m in the same situation as them.  I dont know how I forgot to mention that lol but yea it felt really good being around others in my situation.  I wish i knew more of them though.  Hopefully through the scholarship I’ll get to meet them and hopefully become friends with them.  Oh yea and while I was waiting this other kid from my school went which I dont know if he is undocumented but he was there and it was kind of awkward because I guess he might now know that I’m undocumented but whatever hopefully I can come out about it soon at least to my close friends.

I just got back home from the scholarship interview.  I had to sit across from 4 people that were interviewing me and i was soo nervous.  They asked me about 5 or 6 questions about how the money can help me and what i want to do in the future and just normal questions about me and stuff.  I answered them as best as I could.  I really hope I get it, it would help my family and I soo much!
