“Hello everyone!
I am Diana Vieyra, my family and I immigrated to the United States when I was 7 years old. I grew up in a white predominant town and it was not easy, especially when I didn’t know any English AT ALL. Luckily for me learning English wasn’t as big of an obstacle, thanks to the support and help of ESL teachers and parents it took me less than a year. However people always seemed to find a way to make me feel different, from my broken Spanish to my “weird” accent, I didn’t know what mold I would fit in.
Last month I graduated from North Davidson High School with honors and was accepted to the Pennsylvania Academy Of Arts with a scholarship. This of course made me feel proud of myself, but as a DACAmented student it made me stronger, it gave me power.
This experience taught me that I shouldn’t be ashamed of my essence, and encouraged me to stand up and take action to make things change.
I realized that I was privileged enough to graduate high school in the past month and believe that the 9+ youth from GA and NC, as well as other children being held in ICE detention centers all across the country should have the same opportunity.
I have done various demonstrations in support of the students and against the raids to have millions of families from living in even more fear.I have decided to continue my studies in art to become a K-12 art teacher in areas where the arts are poorly funded as well as low-funded schools. Art gave me an escape from feeling trapped in school, art gave me a voice. My greatest motivation for choosing this career path is my aspiration to make change, to empower undocumented and less-fortunate students by providing a way for them to express themselves, another choice from what we are limited to, and also to create “little artists”.
Money however has become my biggest obstacle since DACA students don’t get federal nor state financial aid, I am aware that there are a lot of undocumented students like me, pursuing their dreams, and that could not be more empowering. These obstacles have encouraged us to keep fighting, I am almost there which is why I am writing this and asking for your support!
I hope you can help me continue my dreams as a DREAMER”
Help a sister out. She’s so kind and so beautiful and so is her word and she’s so politically correct it’s amazing but even if you can’t donate, a reblog is massive too x
