    Essay About Moving America

    Now, I have two older sisters enrolled in college, luckily they receive financial aid, and my parents only contribute a small amount to their college expenses. However, I am a DACA recipient, now that the program has ended and it is inconclusive whether a new program will be created, I am uncertain if my parents or myself could pay for my tuition. Because of my DACA status, I think I have had to work twice as hard to prove that I am capable of success, and that I am in this country to pursue a prosperous future. I am dedicating my spare time into looking for scholarship opportunities and for a form of employment. I am determined to go to college, and I think my motivation and aspirations are greater than the invisible barriers that come from being undocumented. As a teenager with limited retrospective of just how pricely things are, I am just now realizing the trouble my parents have to go through in order to give us the many things we have today. I am grateful for my parents and the effort they make to raise me and my sisters, and I am glad my sisters have the experience of college because they are guiding me, and motivate me to be the best student I can…
