Quotes by Eileen Truax (?)

“I am an undocumented transfer student to UCLA. This university has always been my dream, but being here has been on of the hardest experiences of my life. I do not receive financial aid, and I do not meet any of the requirements to receive any kind of scholarship because I do not have a Social Securty number.”
― Eileen Truax, Dreamers: An Immigrant Generation's Fight for Their American Dream
