The development of the web has made sharing information easier then ever and available to anyone who has access to the Internet. But what does “sharing information,” mean to 23-year-old Benita Veliz?
It means that this college graduate and high school valedictorian, who also happens to be an Mexican immigrant living in the U.S. for 15 years, will be able to share information on her court hearing with everyone using Twitter. Wednesday marks the date of her court hearing where the fear of deportation will burdensomely hover over Benita. Unfortunately she is just one of 64,000 other students awaiting their fate.
She plans on sharing this profound event with everyone on twitter. Check out her feelings and the outcome of the court decision. Follow Benita HERE.
