Chapter 1: Life as a Blind Immigrant

  • Summary

  • On a hot, summer day, Pedro takes the bus to his university. When a passenger notices the dog next to him, Pedro explains that he gets assistance from his guide dog because he is blind. As he arrives on campus, Pedro heads to the registrar. He pays for tuition out of pocket as an undocumented student. Pedro has faced numerous challenges, being both undocumented and blind, but his mentors have given him resources to follow his dreams. This inspires Pedro to pursue a career in social work, like his mentors, to help others just like himself. While Pedro is in school, Donald Trump gets elected president in 2016, further jeopardizing Pedro’s already precarious status in the U.S.
