"A Dreamer and a Rhodes Scholar"

An excerpt from the NY Times -

I’m a Dreamer and a Rhodes Scholar. Where Do I Belong?
A person shouldn’t have to be a “genius” or “economically productive” to have access to equal opportunity. 
By Jin Park

Mr. Park is a recent graduate of Harvard.

In November, I became the first Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals beneficiary to win the Rhodes scholarship. The news was bittersweet.

In 2017 the Trump administration rescinded the option for overseas travel for those with DACA status, the Dreamers who were brought to this country illegally as children. This means that when I leave the country in October to study at Oxford with my fellow Rhodes scholars, I may not be able to come back.

This is a perpetual reality of being undocumented: I never know if I have a place in America — my home — even after receiving one of the most esteemed scholarships in the world.
