Alejandro Durón came to this country at the age of 15 and has spent half of his life here. Since then, he has taken English as a Second Language (ESL) classes and has excelled at them. He quickly fell in love with his adopted country when opportunities opened up and he was able to obtain a stable job in a restaurant. A natural leader, he quickly was promoted to kitchen manager. His employer would like to sponsor him but Alejandro has a court date on Wednesday, March 19th where he could be deported.
Three years ago, Alejandro was pulled over and charged with DWI. A strong believer in God, he has accepted his responsibility and payed all his fines. His faith is reflected through his involvement in his church youth group "Encuentros de Promoción Juvenil (EPJ)" where he is a leader. His dream is to become a US citizen and give back by studying Computer Maintenance and Networking.
