Learning From Immigrants

Picture being exiled from your own country to face extreme hardship and hostilities in your own government. We Americans have much to learn from diffrent cultures and ethnic groups that fight poverty,privation,and bitterness in their daily lives. Such as " The Lost boys of Sudan". All of them just at a younger age had to learn to endure the pain that was set upon them. For example leaving every thing behind them to get to a safe zone, which was a refugee camp. The only thing they had was memories of there reminiscent past.Many of them resettled and got educated in the United States I believe Americans can learn a thing or two from not just the Sudanian Imigrants but from all foreign ethnic groups.
    Americans need to pay more attention to immigrants by not taking simple things, like education, for granted. For example I have many friends that came to America to escape the enmity between religions in there country. The friends that I have came to America for better chances at life, by getting there education.Some American abuse the opportunity of free education either by dropping out or simply just not attempting to learn. Why can't all Americans have the urge and ambition to learn just like our fellow American Imigrants? Just as Tony Blair said " a simple way to take measure of a country is to look at how many want in and how many want out".
     Many people might feel that we don't need to learn anything from Imigrants coming to America, but they are wrong. Learning from Imigrants can help us simply be better Americans just by learning about diffrent cultures.http://www.nytimes.com/2014/01/06/world/africa/sudans-lost-boys-are-drawn-into-war-at-home.html?_r=2
