I've lived in Texas since I was 2. I graduated top 10% of my class. I have dreams of becoming a nurse. But I'm undocumented, and I don't even know if college is possible for me.
My school counselors never talk about this. When I tried to ask, they looked uncomfortable and gave vague answers. I'm scared to ask too many questions — what if someone reports my family?
A friend told me that in Texas, undocumented students can still go to college. That it's actually one of the more welcoming states. But I need to know the real rules. Can I apply? Can I enroll? Will I be safe just asking these questions?
If anyone has been through this or knows the facts, please help me. I'm desperate for information that I can trust.
