This is how it goes, if you have a car you get $10/hr; if you don't, you ride along and get $7/hr. It must be really nice being illegal here, you don't have to pay taxes. Correction! I do! I have only been working for two years though. But we pay a much higher price than taxes... I had to give up my youth. Also, you miss out on a lot of stuff... I missed my best friend's (my beloved cousin) wedding this past March, and it has been 8 Marches, since my arrival. Ellis Island??? No. That would have been nice, I have never been to New York. The road was a little bumpy, let's leave it at that. How much does it cost? A fortune. How old? 19. I meant when you got here... oh, 9. Nursing? You know there is a shortage right now...tough job! Can't afford it... plus, they don't accept you without... what about scholarships??? I got good grades but I don't qualify for any loans, scholarships or financial aid... siblings? yes. Do you have any family here? I did. They were deported though... both? yes. To? Mexico. I'm just glad I got the job. Your English is perfect. Thank you!
