Daniela Pierre-Bravo: This is what a Dreamer looks like. I am a Dreamer. I have to stand up for the opportunity that changed my life.
I got good grades, juggled extracurriculars with working multiple odd jobs and navigated my way through college ... with zero government aid. I wasn’t eligible for it, but I made due.
Then I got one call back for an interview for an unpaid internship at a small marketing agency – I jumped at the opportunity. Despite being in the middle of Ohio, I had agreed to meet for an in-person interview the next day in New York City. Eighteen hours and nine bus stops later I cleaned myself up, changed in a Port Authority bathroom and ran down to Times Square for the interview.
That summer the DACA program changed my life forever. I moved to New York City – this time for good. I started my dream job in the coveted role of an NBC Page at the NBCUniversal Page Program, working with individuals and on shows I have admired from afar for years. I then took that opportunity to the next level and got hired as a booking producer with MSNBC's"Morning Joe."Only in America would my hard work, tenacity and grit transform into a tool of upward mobility.
