American Boy Gives Us Hope

This was a wonderfully surprising autobiography. I was inspired by Dr. Soremekun's retelling of his humble beginnings in Nigeria. His descriptions of his family and his heritage made me feel good about life in this topsy turvy world. I was so inspired by the progressive account of Soremekun's formal education up to his awarding of a doctor's degree surrounded by a simple yet personal faith in God handed down through his wonderful family. To think that a person born on the other side of the world, raised in Nigerian culture, be so immersed, knowledgeable, and versed in the American culture, be a professor of higher education here in America reignited in me the ideals of America even with an acknowledgment of America's great shortcomings.
