I am a 19 year old female who is in the U.S. illegally. I have been here for 14 years, i was brought here by my aunt. i went to school here and now i am trying hard to go to College, but it is really expensive. I can’t get financial aid or get loans to pay for my tuition. My situation is very difficult, my parents can’t afford to pay for my schooling and i can’t get a job to do so. I do jobs that pay under the table, but that doesn’t help much when i can’t get to and from work.
