My intro to government class professor spoke about the program and the court cases. I remember him saying something like, \u201cOh, there might be people in this class that might be affected by this.\u201d He didn\u2019t know about my DACA status, but I freaked out after that class.<\/p>\n<p>I told my friend and an advisor that I was worried about DACA. I was crying in the advisor\u2019s office, but she told me people were out there fighting for us, which calmed me down.<\/p>\n<p>After struggling in high school, community college was a second opportunity. I was more motivated about my future because I started researching on Google. I was just searching, \u201cCan DACA people do this? Can DACA people do that?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>I saw a lot of people with DACA who had the careers they wanted and were going to college. I was still confused, but seeing them gave me hope.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"finding-support-systems\">Finding support systems<\/h2>\n<p>When I was looking for a school to finish my college degree, I found a four-year university with a resource center for undocumented students.<\/p>\n<p>One of my high school teachers gave me the phone number to reach the resource center\u2019s director, so I contacted her.<\/p>\n<p>We met at a coffee shop, and I brought my parents with me. I told her I wanted to study political science and become a lawyer, and she shared some of the college&#8217;s resources.<\/p>\n<p>She helped guide me with scholarships, grants and other resources to help me pay for school.<\/p>\n<p>Our meeting was mostly about helping me, which made me emotional. I cried because it was the first time someone supported me in this way.<\/p>\n<p>Many universities will recruit you by promising support and resources. But sometimes there isn\u2019t that support during your educational experience, especially for first-generation students.<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m not only first-generation, but also undocumented.<\/p>\n<p>If you want undocumented students to thrive, you have to have someone there to support them.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"a-community-of-undocumented-students\">A community of undocumented students<\/h2>\n<p>In the fall of 2022, I transferred to a public university. My major was communications with an emphasis on advocacy and public speaking. I also double-minored in Latin American studies and political science.<\/p>\n<p>One of the first organizations I became involved in was a student organization that advocates for undocumented and mixed-status students. I was the social media chair and later the vice president.<\/p>\n<p>That was the first time I had a space where other people had similar stories to mine.<\/p>\n<p>I found a community that understood me through that student organization. Before joining the group, when I would talk with friends about being undocumented, they would feel sympathy and empathy toward me \u2014 but they wouldn&#8217;t really understand what I was going through.<\/p>\n<p>But being in an organization with other undocumented people, I knew that when I talked about things, they would get it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"learning-to-tell-her-story\">Learning to tell her story<\/h2>\n<p>Something we did a lot in that student organization was storytelling. We had an event called Coming Out of the Shadows, inspired by the national Coming Out of the Shadows events that happened in the past, with the LGBTQ+ community coming out.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s a big event for the community, with nearly 300 attendees.<\/p>\n<p>For us, it was about coming out with your status. As someone who is undocumented, you&#8217;re often told not to share your status because it can be dangerous. But this movement was about sharing your story openly.<\/p>\n<p>One story that I remember the most was from a Nigerian student.

Social media just gets to you.<\/p>\n<p>In my area, there were constant reports that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) was in the neighborhood. So back then \u2014 and I still do this\u00a0\u2014 I go on my lunch break and just look to see if ICE is in town. It\u2019s part of my routine because my parents are undocumented.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s hard because people are sharing these Know Your Rights trainings and information, but these rights are from before this administration. We\u2019re telling people this is their constitutional right, but then those rights are being violated every day with no consequences. It seems like no one really cares because we don&#8217;t have legal status.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n\n\t<div  class=\"vc_col-sm-2 vc_hidden-sm vc_hidden-xs wpb_column column_container vc_column_container col no-extra-padding inherit_tablet inherit_phone \"  data-padding-pos=\"all\" data-has-bg-color=\"false\" data-bg-color=\"\" data-bg-opacity=\"1\" data-animation=\"\" data-delay=\"0\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"vc_column-inner\" >\n\t\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t<\/div> \n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div> \n<\/div><\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"fws_69e1b0f1ebc95\"  data-column-margin=\"default\" data-midnight=\"dark\"  class=\"wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_row article-image\"  style=\"padding-top: 0px;
