It is the story of Gladys, a 24-year old who came with her mother from Mexico when she was 3 years old. She is among the 65,000 Dreamers who graduate from high school and 10,000 Dreamers who complete college every year. I met her when she sought my advice about a career in medicine. She has a near 4.0 GPA and volunteers every weekend in a clinic for the underserved. Having seen so many suffer because they lack access to care, she has long aimed to become a doctor to care for the most vulnerable. Gladys will be a superb and dedicated doctor, but as she prepares her application for medical school, she tells me that she is terrified. Will she be allowed to pursue her dream — the dream for which she and her family have worked so hard? How can she plan for the future when there is the daily fear of being deported and losing everything?
