#e4fc

Denia Perez, an alum of E4FC (an excellent organization that LevelBar is proud to call an ally!), just graduated from Quinnipiac University Law School in Connecticut with a JD.  She went straight to a public hearing to speak in favor of a rule change in the state: she wants DACA beneficiaries such as herself to be allowed to practice law in the state. See the full story here:

Last Summer, our partner Educators for Fair Consideration (E4FC) launched a national creativity contest and website — Things I'll Never Say — to encourage undocumented young people nationwide to share their immigration stories in creative ways.

In E4FC's words, "Undocumented young people are crucial to the future of our society, and our powerful voices must be part of public discourse and media."

Kind of hate my life right now. I'm not in the outreach team which means I lost everything e4fc! I wanna be bonding with new people! Making presentation to high school students. Inspiring my community and myself. 

My car is finally getting fixed yay, I can't wait to be able to drive around and not hide my face. Like eww who is driving that car? I can take it anywhere now! Next stop UC Davis to visit my friend Nadia. 

Trying to plan a small vacation for the week of thanksgiving. It turns out I have the whole week off and I am planning on using it wisely. I need a place to crash that is all! OMG I want to go to NYC so badly! JK just east coast in general. What if I fall in love with the place? 

I want the internship with Kimpton Hotels. Already work for them but this is home office! One small step from getting in the corporate field for reals. Especially after I get my DACA application approved. 

Also want to do the Disney College program and live in Orlando for spring semester. That is if the lady could email me back and if my DACA application comes in on time! I think this would be a great opportunity for me. I get to live on my own and grow up and be independent for a while.

School is pretty awesome. Hermanos Unidos is pretty fun but I might be making it my priority which can be a bad thing. I just really like them and want to be apart of every event they do lol is that bad? I joined Project Connect which I know will take a lot of my time...but then again its volunteer work, so I should not let it get to me. 

I'm kind of not really falling back in my school work. If I start working on homework now, I should be fine. Lol I'm on tumblr right now so...

Thank you so much for everyone that has supported me. With this financial help, I am one step closer to finishing my education.
