He's 29 & a social studies teacher in Las Vegas:
"Absolutely shocked. Amazed. A lot of emotions. As a history teacher I teach about days like this. DACA is here to stay and our humanity is validated."

He's been checking the SCOTUS website every Monday for the past few weeks -- waiting for a decision anxiously.
He felt like his life was in a holding pattern as the justices decided.
"We are humans. We don't owe people a sob story to validate our humanity."

"I stared at my screen at 9:59, tense and tired. I hit refresh at 10am, and at 10:01 I let out all of the feelings I had been bottling up. The rush of relief I felt in that moment is indescribable and all I could do was cry to my parents."
