2 It was a hard journey for the little girl, and full of risks. Long before the boat reached safety, the supplies of food and water ran out. When Kim-Chi finally made it to the US, she had to cope with a succession of three foster families. But when she graduated from San Diego’s Patrick Henry High School in 1988, she had straight A’s and scholarship offers from some of the most prestigious universities in the country. 3 “I have to do well,” says the 19-year-old, now a second-year student at Cornell University. “I owe it to my parents in Vietnam.” Intensive Study

Americans who are suddenly surging into our best colleges Although Asian-Americans make up only 2. 4 percent of the nation population, they constitute 17.1 percent of the undergraduates at Harvard, 18 percent at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and 27 3 percent at the University of california at Berkeley 5 Why are Asian-Americans doing so well? Are they grinds, as some stereotypes suggest? Do they have higher lQs?

Or can we learn a lesson from them about values we have long treasured but may have misplaced – like hard work, the family and education? Intensive Study

Intensive stud, y 6 Not all Asians are doing equally well; poorly-educated Cambodian refugee children, for instance, often need special help And many Asian-Americans resent being labeled a"model minority, feeling that this is reverse discrimination by white Americans-a contrast to the laws that excluded most Asian immigrants from the US until 1965, but prejudice nevertheless
