I was
brought to this country illegally when I was six years old. I have
done all my schooling (currently enrolled in a Community College)
here in the U.S. I have never been to Mexico (where I was born) nor
do I have contact with anyone there. I do speak Spanish. I am a single
parent of a three year old son. I own my own home. I am trying to
make a better future for my son and myself. I don't have a chance
of becoming legal in this country. I've been told that I either have
to get married to a citizen or wait until my son is 21 and submits
an application for me. I am a good person trying to make a living
and trying to give my son a good example. My only crime has been that
I was too young to object to the fact that my parents brought me illegally.
(They too are still in my situation).

I'm
so sorry to hear your story. I hope someday all those who have worked
so hard to attend school like yourself will see some justice. Keep
your head up, it will get better.
