You might be asking yourself- What is this "Dream" that Marc is talking about? Well, for those of you that don't know (which I am pretty certain that not many of you don't), I am talking about the DREAM Act. The DREAM Act is a bill that, if passed through congress, will allow many undocumented students who have gone or are going through the rigorous American education system to achieve their American Dream. They will be allowed to receive In-State tuition, qualify for many scholarships, seek jobs after college, and, most importantly, avoid discrimination.
I've currently asked a couple of students from my local high school if they knew what the DREAM Act is, and about 90% of them didn't have a clue what it was about. Whether the DREAM Act issue is taken positively or negatively by American citizens, in order for there to be any heat in the topic people need to be informed.
Those who do find out about the DREAM Act could be saying, "This is the best idea ever", or they could say, "What a horrible proposal". Either way, my mission is to help people realize the opportunity and massive door that could possibly be opened.
I heard of this proposal many times and some support and other don't but I believe that there definitely should be a way for those who have worked rigorously through high school to get a better education. I wonder then what will you to change the view of the public positively toward this bill? What are you going to different from all those activist who have tried to get this bill through and haven't able to?
ReplyDeleteWell looking at my situation, I can only get so far. What I'm really focused on is raising awareness through the web and in my local community. It's shocking how only few people know about the DREAM Act.
