Overcoming Odds

The article I read about overcoming odds was from Boston.com/news. The article is called Overcoming all odds Sudanese refugees celebrate a college graduation by author Jenna Russell. This article is about Moses Ajou, Mangok Bol, and Jacob Mabil. These three boys are some of the first "lost boys" to graduate and earn a four year collage degree. These three boys were refuges that had escaped from Sudan and come to settle in America. When these boys first arrived they had never touched a key board and could not understand any english spoken with a bostan accent. I thought this article was really interesting and inspiring, because to know that someone who had gone through that much, and had that little was still tough enough to make it through collage, With no family or anything is really inspiring. One quote that will stay with me from this article is ''We learned a lot of things the hard way, so when we see an opportunity, we want to go for it," this was quoted from Mangok Bol. I dont know why it stood out to me but it its really inspiring.
