Without papers, valedictorian struggles to pay for college

Jessica Garcia writes for Richmond Pulse about how as an undocumented immigrant who has lived in the U.S. since age three, she is scrambling to find a way to pay for her college education at UC Berkeley. She pleads with readers to support the Dream Act so others like her can pursue their college dream."By the time I entered first grade, however, I was not only proficient in English, I was also reading at a third grade level. I have earned a place on the Academic Honor Roll of my school, every year."Read her story, and listen to her interview with Will Haynes.
