The part of the reading I enjoyed the most was Jose Antonio Vargas's moving story on his struggles with being an undocumented immigrant, especially at such a young age. From starting with a language barrier, to getting a driver's license, to coming out as being gay, Vargas had many hurdles to overcome.
What I found uplifting was that most of the people in his life that were close to him didn't turn their backs on him once they found out that he was he was undocumented. People's understanding of his difficult situation was pleasantly unexpected. I like when he said he called his former employers and friends and apologizes for misleading them, they still allowed him to use their real names in the story.
