MIAMI (CBS4) – A judge has ordered a top student at North Miami Senior High School to leave the country later this month.
The student has lived here since she was four. Now her classmates say they don’t plan on letting her leave without a fight.
Daniela Pelaez, 18, has spent most of her life in the U.S. In fact, she says she can’t remember her native country, Colombia.
“I’ve done everything that an American child has done. I know the National Anthem, I know more about the United States than I do about Colombia. This is my home,” said Daniela.
She’s done so well at North Miami Senior High that she’s now the valedictorian.
“Yeah. I have a 6.7 GPA,” said Daniela.
