James,
This is my dream: Open a clinic for children with autism that provides them with behavioral therapy services in Laredo.
Will I achieve it? Not if Republicans in the Texas Legislature get their way.
The GOP is trying to repeal the Texas DREAM Act, which allows undocumented Texans like me to pay in-state college tuition. I'm a single mom, and if Senate Bill 1819 becomes law, I won't be able to afford grad school and make my dream come true. That's why I attended a public hearing at the Capitol on Monday and told my story.
I didn't even know I was undocumented until my senior year in high school. My parents brought me to Laredo from Veracruz, Mexico, when I was four. But thanks to the Texas DREAM Act, I graduated from Texas A&M International University, where I volunteered and joined clubs focused on giving back to the community because I was so grateful for the opportunity to be there.
After college, I got a job as a speech therapist so that I can help kids with autism like my brother. I love what I do, so I feel like I never work a day in my life -- it's amazing. Now, I want so badly to achieve my goal of opening my own clinic.
I need our legislators to choose the right side of history and keep my dream alive -- please add your name if you're with me:
The time has come to galvanize www.mayorgalvan.com
No one in the USA should die because they didn't have electricity ! It's a disgrace that we Americans have allowed this to happen here !
Facebook & the Electricity Company should be sued for the deaths of these 8 Americans that were poisioned because they electric meter was removed and their electricity was cut off. We must galvanize and demand that TELSA's electricity's solution be immeadiately released to all the American People and that the United States of America becomes the #1 Leader in this New Age Global Energy (Electricity/Galvanism) R[̲̅ə̲̅٨̲̅٥̲̅٦̲̅]UTION .
