DACA, an act passed during Obama’s term that protected them from deportation, was rescinded by the Trump administration on September 5, 2017. After these people, known as Dreamers, had begun to come out of hiding to legally obtain jobs, attend college, and live without fear of deportation, this rescission suddenly suspended their dreams. Now their future is in the hands of Congress. Although many people would like to eject this group, statistics are in favor of their continuing residence.

dreams. Often, that dream is something like a city or any populated area which has other people walking around in it.

I woke up from the warm sunlight rays. I looked outside through the window – it was one of those mornings, in which the air is fresh, not too hot, neither too cold. Suddenly I shuddered – a thought ran through my mind, which made me smile immediately – today I should go to incredible Mediterranean cruise. It was my dream since I was a little child and when finally one evening my father made a gift to me and my mother – two tickets for 10 days cruise from Venice to Monte Carlo I was feeling like on the top of the world.

As children, we all have dreams. One may dream about becoming a singer to make people smile in years to come. Another may dream about being a veterinarian to care for and help all sick animals. For some people, childhood dreams dissipate and their ambitions change while growing up. For me, my dreams and ambitions have remained constant as my strengths and my interests developed. I've always wanted to work in the medical field and help the sick by curing diseases. I've always possessed an awe for the phenomenon that is the human and its capabilities such as being able to distinguish the bright yet dark blues of the ocean to the ability to hear a baby’s laughter and first words.

I want to be a part of that beauty and also that modification. With everything that has happened, I’ve become someone I would’ve never recognized but love.

I have an eagerness and zealousness that I only hope guides me through the next four years of my life. The last four years changed me more than I ever could’ve imagined and I only know the next four will be paramount to the rest of my

I remember all the hard times in my life, I always was a positive and strong person who faces his fears and beat them and never let anyone or anything bring him down. I'm also a very determined person. I’ve always dreamed of joining the Faculty of Commerce English Section and now I’m a student in it. Because of my responsibility and hard-working, I take the honor of being the best team leader. I always wanted to be myself, to be a unique and flexible person. I always believe that I'm the hero of my life and there's no existence of the word impossible.

The movie What Dreams May Come gives a rather positive view on the afterlife. I think most of the ideas and views shown in the film are related to many of society's main beliefs pertaining to death and the afterlife, but the views are left broad enough so they can relate to any specific religion. Personally, I have no concrete belief concerning the afterlife, or whether or not if there even is life after death, but I can see why many people would agree with many of the films perspectives. The movie is shown through Robin Williams's character, Chris Nielson who's first personal encounter with death is when his two children, Marie and Ian both die in a car accident. Four years later he dies himself after being hit

This left no exception to the Younger family, but Beneatha Younger was an exception. She was on her way to becoming a doctor which was her lifelong dream. By the end of the play, Beneatha learned about real risk and work and accepted it therefore achieving her dream. She was born poor and in a struggling family. Her dreams were always very

Of the shorts screened this semester, there were specific films outlied themselves for their strong female narrations and themes. Whether we are observing the Somali traditions in ‘Godka Cirka’ or follow the hopes and dreams of a working-class teen in ‘About a Girl’, films with these kinds of subjects are different from the norms of traditionally portrayed narratives. Like in literature, the characteristics of subversion are defined by their ability not to portray one side of a particular subject or character. Collectively, filmmaking is dominated by The Male Gaze, which emphasizes the male perspective on female narrative. Although some stories are intended to be told through a male character, the concept of The Male Gaze is consists of more

As we sat in the waiting area of the Dallas Fort-Worth international airport, eight thousand miles away from India, I asked my mother if it was too late to go back. She wrapped her arms around me and whispered a silent prayer. There was nothing she could say. My parents sat there, wearied by the unfamiliar place. My little brother, oblivious to the huge change we were about to undergo.
