The most important thing to learn in school is that you can learn almost anything, and so you shouldn't let not knowing about something be an excuse for not doing what you want to do. Go focus and study.

Two weeks ago a 26-year old soldier raced repeatedly into a burning Bronx apartment building, saving four people before he died in the flames. His name was Pvt. Emmanuel Mensah and he immigrated from Ghana, a country Donald Trump apparently thinks produces very subpar immigrants.
