Many Undocumented kids grow up Americanized 100% and often forget where and how they came from. I my self was brought here at the age of 3. I'm now 25 years , married (to a American citizen) and with 3 kids. sadly i'm still undocumented but being an "illegal alien" as only made me stronger in many ways. Being undocumented has closed many doors but i never stopped dreaming. Benign only 25 I have managed over 100 employees for a big wireless carrier here in the US. I now own my own business, but every night i sleep thinking of my miserly " being undocumented" I hope one day i get what i do not have!!! Help us all. I agree to IIIe..

So it's important to share our stories and be 'out.'

Then, they're suddenly forced to do a 180 when confronted with the truth. A part of me feels that, while being undocumented is an absolute nightmare, it also makes for interesting (and sometimes, even rewarding) life experiences and epiphanies, if you can live through it.
