We can be the best, we have all that it takes to be the best. I too have broken down in tears, with the silence as a witness…wishing someone would hear my cry and rescue me from my despair…I am undocumented, about to earn my Bachelor’s degree in psychology…and will continue for my Masters. I have given 19 years of my life to this nation and yet it’s as if I still don’t belong, but I don’t stand alone…this is a fight for peace and we will win it, justice for all. God will fulfill our dreams. Let’s never give up.
