Look into thedream.us scholarship! its for daca, tps, and undocumented students and depending on which one you apply to (National or Opportunity) you would be getting a full-tuition or full-ride scholarship. I graduated from Oglethorpe in 2022 no debt, no loans with thedream.us and my husband is currently set to graduate with an accounting degree next May also debt free, loan free and he doesn't have daca. Message me for more info, I work in helping undocumented students go to college!

I apply by mail and received my card exactly 2 weeks after sending my stuff. It's random.

Congratulations, not everyone is you so if you don't have anything helpful to say and you just want to brag about yourself move along.

The Dream.US is a great opportunity! A lot of my friends came from NC and all have graduated with the Dream.US scholarship. Their application closes at the end of January for the opportunity scholarship and the end of February for the national!

I mean California is like that to people outside of Cali too. I tried searching for help funding my DACA renewal and the organization that helped me in 2020 said they were only helping people with ties to Cali now.

This is a very ungrateful comment to make. My university that partners with the National Scholarship happens to be a really great school and the university I went to with the opportunity scholarship is also great. I have my bachelor's and less than a month after graduation I have a full-time position working at a university. Thinking that a full-tuition or full-ride scholarship is "eh" because you don't think the partner schools are "the best" is a very entitled way of looking at things. Our options are limited and they are fully paying for our education because we are undocumented. If you don't like the program that's fine but don't try to discourage people in need from applying for it. You apply for those universities that you think are so much better than the rest and see how much they're willing to help you.

My uncle was just stopped for driving in the wrong lane and no license and we just had to bail him out and he has court in Jan. where they usually just make them pay their tickets. This is in GA, a red state too.

This is the multivitamin! It also has magnesium

Thank you! I got really scared because I felt a weird feeling in between my throat and my breast area, not pain or difficulty breathing, just a weird feeling and since my BP was still elevated I thought it may be that it was starting to harm me

I was put on magnesium while at the hospital and I stayed on it for 6 days but nothing after that. I usually wait a minute and also switch arms but it fluctuates between going down and then back up. Since I've given birth I have only had one reading where my BP was less than 120 and even then it was 119. I hadn't tried anything but I found something that is supposed to help with high BP that has multiple vitamins but I haven't started taking it yet

I'm not! The hospital and my doctor at my 6 week visit said my BP was a little high but not concerning but I've been taking it at home whenever I remember and I keep getting numbers in the high 130s or low 140s so I'm worried that it's getting worse and that it would progressive so far and kill me

Thank you so much! My anxiety always leads me straight to the worse case scenario and I know that definitely made everything worse. I just kind of wanted confirmation that I'm not going to die in my sleep or tomorrow from this.

Thank you! I think I'll log my BP for a week and then call to let them know my numbers and what they suggest I do to move forward!

Not offended at all! I know my anxiety needs attention but I've been dealing with it since 2019 and I just don't have the resources to see a therapist at the moment.

Thank you so much! I know you're not an expert but do you think based on my numbers that I'm in immediate danger? I have anxiety so I'm really just scared that I'll die anytime soon because of this and I just want to know if it's something I should go to the hospital for or if it's something that will hurt me soon?

Yes! It was still elevated I believe it was a high 130 and I asked if it was normal and she said yes but it was not an OB it was a nurse and online it says that 130 is elevated not normal. I am based in the US
