He has missed out on a lot because he is undocumented. He can not legally work, drive,  fly, etc. He graduated from college with a degree in computer science and has been accepted to grad school at Columbia University, but he can't pay for it because he can't get funding. DACA would mean having the opportunity to go to graduate school and work.
