DREAMer: An Undocumented American | Ignite Phoenix #15

Everyone should be allowed an opportunity to an education. Undocumented students who pursue & achieve a college education have an undying will to achieve a life better than the ones our parents came from. Over the past few months I have shared my story with groups of high school students, with the purpose of inspiring them to achieve their goals no matter what obstacles they are facing. I want people to see life in Arizona through the eyes of a DREAMer.

Biography:

I'm an undocumented student living in Phoenix. I was always an overachiever in high school. As I was preparing to graduate, I faced a dilemma; how could I pursue a college education without having access to employment, financial aid, and a driver's license? The months that followed forced me to overcome these obstacles.
