What words of wisdom do you have for undocumented students?
What is meant for you won’t pass you by! As undocumented people, we often feel so limited (and we are in many ways), but I want to affirm that you can accomplish so much and people before us have done it (and I want to try to provide material resources you need, as well).
What is one thing off your bucket list?
