I was looking at scholarship and fellowship grants for graduate studies again and I can’t help but think that I shouldn’t be having trouble if Mama had applied for the petition a year ago. I would have been able to go to the US by the time I eould graduate (2013). But, she chose not to go and I didn’t think to convince her to reconsider. She didn’t want go there and I could never have forced her. So, I guess for the next 3-4 years I’ll be selling my soul for a sponsorship.
HI! I’m a middle class, Filipino woman. Please sponsor me!!!!:)))))
“There are things that U.S. soldiers are allowed to talk about with the press and others they are not. One of the things they are not allowed to voice is their political opinion, especially if it goes against their commander in chief. In the privacy of latrine stalls on military bases in Iraq and Kuwait, however, it is quite a different story. I did not see any pro-Bush writings in any of the hundreds of latrines I photographed.” - Photography by Zoriah.
