No. 1 student: `I'm still crossing the border'
Advertisements [?]
Everybody remembers Angie. Maybe her name was Maureen or Deborah or Sandra where you come from. But you remember her. She was the best student in your high school. She was pretty, but not in an intimidating way. She was the girl-next-door-with-braces pretty.

The teachers loved her and so did your parents. Why can't you be more like Angie?

It didn't bother you, though, because Angie was nice, down to earth. She didn't get big-headed about being smart.


....Her classmates voted her most likely to succeed and, along with her boyfriend, Edgar Barron, the school's cutest couple. While keeping up with all her extracurricular activities, she managed to amass a 4.7 grade-point average.

And she managed one more thing, keeping a profound secret from even her closest friends: She is an illegal immigrant.
