I am here

I should be working on an internship application right now but I really need to share this.

Last night while tutoring I got a call from my favorite attorney. My phone was on silent so I missed her call but I listened to her message. She asked that I compile a list of mine and my family's accomplishments as long as we've been in the U.S. Also asked for a statement of the kind of person that I am. This paper obviously took precedent to the internship application.

She said that she'd already been in contact with the government, and they ask that she provide a personal statement, my personal statement as part of the paperwork she is about to submit in order to make that joint motion to reopen happen.

This is the very first time since I've been under process with immigration that I have been taken into consideration. I remember one of the times we were preparing for a hearing, I couldn't understand why it didn't matter that I was a straight-A student. This must've been in early high school, because I was convinced my residency would come through before I had to apply to college and would therefore have the world at my fingertips.

I am happy and so incredibly lucky to be able to say that despite the obstacles, I now have my B.A.

BOOYAH! YES I CAN.

I should be hearing from her in the next couple days telling me that she has filed the paperwork.

So much weight has been lifted off my chest.

May this process grant me the freedom to pursue my goals in life, in the only place I call home.

MUCH LOVE.
