My name is Hyun Jae Cheon, and I am 22 years old, living in New Jersey. I came to the United States from South Korean when I was 11 years old and I have been an undocumented immigrant for 6 months (since I entered here). Although I do not have a proper documentation, I think I am one of the luckiest people. I had a great opportunity to enjoy my middle school and high school years with new experiences and people I met. I had wonderful parents, who worked so hard days and nights, trying to support me and my brother, so that we can get a great education here. And most importantly, I had a hope– the hope to go to a prestigious college and finish my degree for my hard working parents. Because I had hope, I was very passionate about whatever I pursued. Consequently, I got into one of the most prestigious colleges in the United States. But, before I could celebrate with joys and cheers upon graduation, I started being scared of the hopelessness– hopelessness towards the financial barriers in order to continue my post- secondary education (without financial aid) and having an uncertain future even upon the graduation. Now, the only glimpse of hope left for me is the passage of Comprehensive Immigration Reform (CIR), which would allow me to continue my education and fulfill my long-time dream as an American. To me, CIR isn’t just a bill, but it is my dream, hope and future. And upon my personal meanings, it is for thousands of other immigrants who work so hard, an opportunity to become American citizens in the Land of Opportunity.
