The character who's mostly impacted by this issue would be Monserrat. She has to deal with discrimination, with racism, but she mainly has to deal with being an immigrant who doesn't have much hope or a good future in the U.S. and having to live with fear because any day she could get deported or she could lose her family. The issue changed Monserrat a lot because it was able to build her and make her a strong person because even though her dad would constantly tell her that she wouldn't get anywhere and to lose hope in going to college and being someone big one day she never gave up and she kept trying and she achieved her goal. She was able to go to college and she was able to push past every obstacle that life threw at her and prove her dad wrong, she was able to show him that when you dream big and when you set your mind to a goal you CAN achieve that goal. Throughout the book Monserrat was able to teach us all of this. I feel like Monserrat was the right character to address this issue because we were able to see how much she struggled and through her we were able to see the life of an immigrant, we were able to see how not only her but people like her struggle to make a living, what they have to go through and what they feel.

"But im still an undocumented immigrant. And that means living a different kind of reality. It means going about my day in fear of being found out. It means rarely trusting people, even those closest to me, with who i really am. It means keeping my family photos in a shoebox rather than displaying them on shelves in my home, so friends don't ask about them. It means reluctantly, even painfully, doing things i know are wrong and unlawful. And it means relying on a sort of 21st-century underground railroad of supporters, people who took an interest in my future and took risks for me." This is how life as an undocumented person living in the United States is like, this is what Monserrat had to go through.

In the real world there's a lot of teens that can relate to Monserrat's story and what she has to go through. Teens like Monserrat have to experience things like ongoing discrimination, being forcibly taken or separated from their families, returning home to find out their families have been taken away, and many more. As a society we should care about undocumented youth because their opportunities and potential for success are frequently limited. Not only that but because the isolation, discrimination, and fear that they go through shouldn't be experienced by any child or adolescent.

About 80,000 undocumented immigrants turn 18 every years, out of these, 16-20% of them will ot graduate. They don't see the value in a high school degree if they won't be able to legally work or even attend college. This is a big problem because a lot of these teens lose hope, they give up because they don't think they'll ever be able to go to college and that's not okay because we are all equal, their future shouldn't have to depend on their immigration status, their race, their sex, it shouldn't depend on anything other than their potential. This ruins the lives of a lot of teens, it ruins their future and that's not okay because we all deserve to have a good future.

In this book the real world issue is immigration. The issue has a lot to do with the story's setting because Monserrat and her family are immigrants in the United States and it also affects them a lot. An example would be Monserrat not having as many rights or at least not as many as other people who are U.S. Citizens. The family would be another good example, they live with fear of getting deported, the father doesn't have a good job that helps him earn enough money to pay bills so there's times when they don't have electricity at their house or they don't have service on their phone, or they don't have money to buy food so they sometimes eat the same food over and over again. The point of view in which this book was written impacts the reader's opinion regarding the issue  because it's written in Monserrat's point of view so they get to see what exactly an immigrant living in the United States has to deal with and how being discriminated or just simply being an immigrant living in the United States makes her feel. This book's theme is to never give up and never stop dreaming because of others opinions or just simply because of the obstacles thrown at you throughout life because if you set your mind to a goal you CAN achieve that goal.
