One of these young people
is named Nara. She shared her story with me, both last week and again
today. I am so pleased that she and other wonderful young people are in
town today to share their stories. Nara was born in Poland. Her parents faced intense discrimination
because of their different backgrounds; one was from Poland and the
other was from Mongolia. In 2000, when Nara was only 4 years old, she
and her mom were granted a visa to come to the United States. Nara excelled in school. She graduated from high school with honors
and attended the University of Detroit Mercy.
