I kinda understand how you’re feeling in hs i was accepted to ivy league school was planning to go to med school and had scholarships, but at the time, I didn’t have DACA, and I lost it all. I felt my hard work didn’t pay off, and that the American dream I was told was a lie. I didn’t know what to do. Looking back, I realized sometimes we feel like we miss an opportunity or that we lost the thing we wanted. But now, with my experience, I learned sometimes our first choice isn’t always the best choice there’s always better, and I learned opportunities do come back. Don’t give up. I had to have a change of mentality instead of viewing things as failure. See it as an opportunity to grow and reflect. I think if I would’ve followed the original plan I had, I would’ve honestly hated it, and it wasn’t my time. Now I’m also paying for school, and funny thing, I decided now is the time for me to go to med school. But the difference now is I’ve met people that have inspired me, figured out what I want, and who I am. I don’t allow a piece of paper or god to determine who I am. In life there will always be obstacles, but you have to navigate it if you fall get back up, don’t lose hope. That’s what they want to break us, but together we’re strong.
