Independence Day '06

Hello all: I know its been a while since I've updated, but as you can imagine it gets harder to update. I am again happy to say that my family is doing well, and that I did in fact receive an extension for those of you that still check this. I will again be returning to college in the fall and am really looking forward to driving and working while continuing my advocacy work in hopes for changes in legislation to come quickly so others like me can also have a chance to continue to pursue their dreams. It's been a bit since i've been to DC but i expect I will be travelling there in a short time. As far as my family back in Costa Rica, dad did in fact find a job which he ironically begins today. Tomorrow, July 5, is the one year anniversary (if that is in fact what you call it) of their departure. I again can not even begin to express in words what these last few months have been like. I am agian so thankful to have some wonderful and amazing loving people who surround me and have really helped me and my family out. Lets keep the hope alive. Lets get some legislation passed soon! thanks for all the support. Many blessings! Marie Gonzalez
