I like her smile and she seems like a cheerful, happy and realistic person as suggested by the article. Her cheerfulness shows and that is always pretty on people.
It can’t be easy for her to remain cheerful in the face of having to leave the country when she graduates. She’s also realistic about her future. If I were in her position, I’d probably be bitter and vituperative and showing a scowl.
Before you get upset, I don’t like illegal invasion as much as anybody. But the parents of kids like this did a really, really stupid thing coming here illegally with their kids in tow. This young lady has done a lot to improve her life. I wish her well in life however this turns out for her.
