I came to the U.S. with my family through a visa. My younger brother and I knew nothing about immigration until our mother told us our visa expired. I can't drive, find a job, go to the college of my choice, and we're currently awaiting news of our appeal before a judge. I've been here since I was 3 1/2 years old...now I'm 18. Just posting this puts fear in my haert about what people will think, but my life already sucks. How worse could it get. All the dreams I've ever had when I was a child may be demolished and blame it on my ignorant father who believes that being a citizen of the U.S. isn't the family's #1 priority. As soon as I can become a permanent resident, I'm getting my citizenship no matter what anyone says. Maybe then I can do some good in my life and finally close this chapter that's been haunting me since the age of 15. Anyone reading this and are a citizen, you are trully blessed. Don't take the life that you have for granted. I try my hardest to tell myself that I'll never end up like my father who is careless of other people's thoughts, who swears he's a "saint", and who hates his wife. I wish I knew what to do with myself, but I'm lost. I'm at a stand-still. But most of all, my life sucks because I can't see my girlfriend who lives all the way in Florida. God bless.
