Since the release of DACA in 2012, I've been able to free myself from the shadows and strive to become a functioning member in this abled body society. DACA granted me the opportunity to continue my education and graduate from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA) as a Spanish Major and Mexican Studies minor with less financial worries and granted me access to some health care. Having DACA has granted me the opportunity to work and give back to my community . The Dream Act would mean that I have the opportunity to eventually become a citizen and give back to this county that I love."
