[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I saw this on GMA.  His "2" parents are doctors and very much upper middle class.  A great feat, but hardly compares to the Banneker boy.  Congrats to both.  This kid says he's leaning towards Yale.[/quote]

His parents are immigrants who studied medicine and became NURSES.

I'm proud of the young man. He's so well-spoken. [b]I was expecting an accent given that he's first gen[/b]. His parents did a terrific job.

And yes, his was a TREMENDOUS feat. How many kids do you know getting into all 8 ivies?

I know a TON of upper middle class students who don't get into 1.[/quote]

Why would he have an accent?  He was born here and grew up here.  [/quote]

+1. He was born and raised American. Where will he get an accent? [/quote]

I didn't realize he was born here. No wonder there's absolutely no trace of an accent whatsoever.

But really, what has that to do with the story and his wonderful accomplishments? People who want to derail threads with useless arguments are so 2013.[/quote]
