*State law that allows undocumented students to pay in-state tuition at public colleges or universities in Washington State.

Today I met with a friend who has finished his bachelors degree; we were talking about some projects that he has going which one of those is DREAM Act. As we are having this conversation I think about what am I going to do if by when I graduate this bill has not passed. (By the way I am barely going to start college in the fall.) I somewhat discourage but at the same time I have motivation because just like my friend who is a 1079 student I see hope. Hope because I am not alone there are thousands of other students in the same situation and slowly but surely we are making progress with DREAM Act and other laws that will help these kind of students like myself.
