Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  I haere mai ō rātau mātua ki te U.S. mō ngā whai wāhitanga, ā, ināianei kei te nui ngā whai wāhitanga a ēnei taiohi tokowhā. Kua whakaaetia nga akonga o te kura tuarua ki nga kura e waru o Ivy League: Brown University, Columbia University, Cornell University, Dartmouth College, Harvard University, University of Pennsylvania, Princeton University me Yale University. I tua atu i ngā whare wānanga o te Ivy League, kua whakaaetia ia o rātau ki ētahi atu kura nui. Ahakoa i tipu ake rātau katoa i roto i ngā taone rerekē, he uri rātau o ngā mātua manene i neke mai ki Amerika - mai i Bulgaria, Somalia, Nigeria rānei. A ko te tokowhā katoa - ko Munira Khalif no Minnesota, ko Stefan Stoykov no Indiana, ko Victor Agbafe no North Carolina, ko Harold Ekeh no New York - e mea ana kei te whakawhetai ratou ki te mahi pakeke a o ratau matua. Inaianei kei te tumanako rātau ki te whakamahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō te pai - ahakoa ko te whakatinanatanga i te huringa pāpori pai, te whakapai ake i te mātauranga puta noa i te ao, te noho rānei hei tohunga mātai roro. Ko tētahi atu mea e ōrite ana ki ngā taiohi: kāore rātau i te mōhio ko tēhea kura ka kōwhiria e rātau. Ko te tamahine a ngā manene o Somalia kua riro kē i a ia tētahi tohu o te UN, ā, e hiahia ana ki te whakapai ake i te mātauranga puta noa i te ao. Te ākonga whetū: Ko Munira Khalif, nō St. Paul, Minnesota, e kī ana i ārahi tonu ia i te whakaaro i rere atu ōna mātua, i wehe atu i Hōmara i te wā o te pakanga ā-iwi, ki te U.S. kia pai ake ai ōna whai wāhitanga. I ohorere a Munira Khalif, e haere ana ki Mounds Park Academy i St. Paul, Minnesota, i tana whakaaetanga ki te waru o nga Kura Ivy me etahi atu e toru - engari kaore ana kaiako i whakaae. 'Kei a ia te rangimarie, kei te korero tonu ia i nga wa katoa,' i kii a Randy Comfort, he kaiwhakahaere kura tuarua i te kura motuhake, ki a KMSP. 'He tino whakamiharo ia.' Ko te akonga 18-tau-tau, i whanau, i tipu ake i Minnesota i muri i te rerenga o ona matua mai i Somalia i te pakanga a te iwi, i kii ia i whakaaweawe ia ki te mahi kaha na nga whai wāhitanga i hoatu e tona whanau me te US ki a ia. 'Ko te mea, ina haere mai koe ki konei hei manene, kei te tumanako koe ki te whai whai wāhitanga ehara i te mea anake...
Ko Munira Khalif no Minnesota, ko Stefan Stoykov no Indiana, ko Victor Agbafe no North Carolina, ko Harold Ekeh no New York i whiwhi tono maha. He mātua manene ō rātou katoa - nō Somalia, Bulgaria, Nigeria rānei - ā, e kī ana rātou he mahi pakeke a ō rātou mātua hei whakawhetai mō ō rātou angitu. E tūmanako ana rātau ki te whakamahi i ngā whai wāhitanga mō te pai, mai i te whakapai ake i te mātauranga puta noa i te ao ki te noho hei kaitukituki roro.
