Areli is a Dreamer: A Story of Immigration and Hope
In a world where dreams take flight and hope knows no bounds, we embark on a heartwarming journey with Areli, a young girl who finds herself navigating two distinct worlds. Written by Areli Morales herself, a DACA Dreamer, this picture book captures the essence of immigration and the indomitable spirit of those who dare to dream.
From Mexico to New York: A New Beginning
As a baby, Areli's parents made the courageous decision to leave Mexico and move to New York in search of a better life for their family. They left behind the warmth of Abuela's house and the vibrant Mexican culture, venturing into the unknown.
When Areli joined her family in New York, she encountered a world vastly different from the one she had known. The bustling city, with its fast pace and unfamiliar sounds, seemed overwhelming. Her limited English made communication challenging, and she faced accusations of being an illegal immigrant from her schoolmates.
Embracing America: A Land of Opportunity
Despite the initial struggles, Areli's spirit remained unyielding. With time, America began to feel like home. She saw the country as a beacon of hope, a place where millions of immigrants before her had carved their own paths to success. Inspired by their stories, Areli knew that she too would find her way.
The Power of DACA: Dreams Realized
Areli's story is a testament to the transformative power of the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) policy. This immigration policy has provided a lifeline to countless undocumented children, known as Dreamers, who arrived in the United States as children and consider this country their home.
Through DACA, Areli's application was eventually approved, allowing her to pursue her dreams and aspirations. Today, she stands as a living embodiment of the American dream, a shining example of resilience, determination, and the boundless possibilities that await those who dare to believe.
A Story of Resilience and Hope
Areli's journey is a moving tale that resonates with millions of immigrants who have woven the fabric of our nation. It is a story of resilience, hope, and the unwavering pursuit of a better life. As we turn the pages of Areli's book, we are reminded of the strength of the human spirit and the power of dreams that refuse to be silenced.
