Years ago, when the Vietnamese refugees were coming into the Houston school district, teachers were aghast at how they would manage their education. They arrived not knowing a word of English. Many were orphaned by the war or pirates that attacked them at sea and killed their parents in front of them.
But the teachers needn’t have worried. These students joyfully tackled the language and moved on to excel in their studies. In spite of working many hours to help their families or to support themselves, many graduated at the top of their high school graduating classes.
The lazy and the coddled will never succeed because they’ve been given excuses to fail all their lives.
What an uplifting story. Thank-you!
