Every year thousands of Africans leave home for further studies in the U.S. and a survey shows they are twice as likely to graduate than the average American student.

  • Great video! I've come across quite a few African students in high school and college and I've seen this determination and drive first hand. It's nice to see the media take notice.

  • @MegaBlackunity come on man..we're all Africans and shouldn't put down one another..African Americans are our brothers and sisters and know the horrible history they're beeb through its a miracle they're suvived.....God bless Africans, African-American, Afo-Latino and Mother Africa

  • @RickScorpio1 That is true ...I am from AFRICA ...I guarantee you that within 5 years,WEST-AFRICA will be as industrialized as south-Africa...For some odd reasons,young west-Africans are much more smarter than the old dickhead . EAST-AFRICA and CENTRAL-AFRICA are all the same like the african-Americans

  • @siasabora That's true. Lets get these Degrees and penya the system au sio ....

  • @kenyandamu: absolutely concur with you...failure is not an option!

  • but then the blacks here are largely uneducated.... and disgrace africans basically. bcuz they're surrounded with the culture that oh its only cool to do good in sports or be a rapper or pimp, and for girls to be beyonce!! africans have fallen so behind its so sad they useto have great empires and everything (Egyptian Empire)!

  • i think african born blacks-surrounded with african culture or whatev are incredibly smart. like, if u look at the poor kids there some are sooo super smart bcuz they r so tough and have such drive to succeed, they're little kids, good english, good skills, and like these kids would succeed over here if they can get here. theres lotsa stories where lucky enough africans get a scholarship (HARD EARNED-No affirmative action or nething, obviously, just their smarts) become doctors and everythin

  • lol oh ok. The nasal funny way of pronouncing words.

  • I come from a poor, broken home and i can't wait to graduate and show that those circumstances will not dictate what i can and will do in life.

    Stories like these inspire me to work harder.

    granted... i will be in so much debt when i do finish....

  • racist.

  • all lies Jesus is the only way!
