Abstract | Gustavo is a nineteen year old undocumented youth who recently graduated from high school. He was born in Mexico but moved with his family to North Carolina when he was two years old. Gustavo had dreams of going to a nearby community college when he graduated to take computer business classes and play soccer, but he was unable to do so because of the expense. Once he heard about the Deferred Act, he applied immediately and was able to get his Work Permit and Social Security. He now is in the process of applying to school once more, with the hope of the tuition being a lower cost. Gustavo hits on themes of his experience with English as a Second Language (ESL) classes, racial-profiling, and the process of getting his Work Permit and Social Security card. |
