Over time, Juan excelled in school, and Oregon became his home. Juan is an active member in the Monmouth and Western Oregon
University communities. He serves as a diversity student mentor, works
with the faculty at Western Oregon to create a campus website that
lists available resources for undocumented students, works for the city
of Monmouth as a community liaison, and started a support group for
DREAMers at Western Oregon University. Juan is the first person in his family to graduate from college and
is currently attending graduate school at Oregon State University's
College Student Services Administration program. He currently works as
a graduate assistant and hopes to bring more institutional changes for
students of color. Without DACA, none of this would have been possible for Juan, and our
country would have lost out on a motivated and talented person. Young people across the country are relying on us. We need to pass a
clean Dream Act that will recognize Juan and the over 800,000 DREAMers
as equal members of our community.
