King wasn’t great just because he was a hard worker, but also because he did what he did for the right cause. People can be hard working, but they also have to have good intentions for their actions. If people don’t work toward the right causes, the entire society may suffer as a result. An example could be that a student gives his/her lunch money to a donation to buy poor people food. That student may suffer for that day in school, but the money he/she donated will feed a hungry person that may not have eaten in days.

Welsh says the reasoning behind the emigrated student’s success is the self determination and motivation to do well in school, as well as hard work exerted by the students. I agree with Welsh’s argument and believe that students who emigrated from foreign countries to the United States see their learning opportunity as a privilege that they do not take for granted unlike most of us.
