On the verge of our 2nd and 3rd birthdays, my bother Alejandro Gomez and I, Juan Sebastian Gomez, were brought to a country which symbolized success and the pursuit of happiness. After 17 years, America is all we know. Both of us are fearful of a future in Colombia. Colombia would be as foreign as China to us. Both of us have lost most of our Spanish speaking skills. My brother and I are American no matter what a piece of paper tells us. Our whole family has worked hard in order to better ourselves in the country we call home. Academically, we have both strived and succeeded with hopes that our accomplishments would outshine our immigration status. All of our hard work will hopefully allow us to continue living and contributing to this wonderful country. Our hopes were in the passage of the Dream Act and becoming the first Dream Children."
