Ku soo kortay guri leh borofisar Jarmal ah, Kate Mulhern waxay horumarisay xiisihii hore ee luqadaha ajnabiga ah taasoo sii xoojisay tallaabo kasta oo ay ka qaadatay xirfadeeda waxbarasho iyo xirfadeed.
Dugsiga sare, Ingiriisku wuxuu ahaa maadada ay ugu jeceshahay Kate. "Waxay ahayd mid ka duwan fasal kasta," ayay sharaxday, "waxaan ka wada hadalnay waxyaabo dhab ah."
Waxay si gaar ah u xasuusataa fasalka Ingiriisiga ee Ms. Van Pilsum. Waxay ahayd fasalkan kii "baray suugaanta [iyada] waxay ahayd muhiim," waxayna ahayd markii ugu horreysay ee qof u sheego, "Waad qori kartaa."
Arday hal-abuur leh, Kate waxa ay ka shaqaynaysay masraxa MHS, marka lagu daro heer sare oo dhanka tacliinta ah. Iyadoo dhiirigelin ka heleysa macalimiinteeda Ingiriisiga, waxaa sidoo kale loo aqoonsaday arday karti u leh luqadaha Isbaanishka iyo Jabbaan. Dhab ahaantii, waxay ahayd mid ka mid ah shanta arday ee Minnetonka ah ee iska diiwaangeliyay fasalka Jabbaan ee MHS sannadkeedii hoose. Iyadoo sare waxay ka qalin jabisay valedictorian fasalka 2000.
Dugsiga sare ka dib Kate waxa ay gashay kulliyadda Clarke oo ay sii wadatay barashada luqadaha, gaar ahaan Jabbaan iyo Isbaanish. Kulliyadda waxa ay u soo jiidatay waxbarashada iyo fursad ay si toos ah ugu shaqeyso luqadda. Waxay fursadaas ka heshay US Peace Corps.
Laba bilood ka dib markii ay ka qalinjabisay kulliyadda (halkaas oo ay mar kale ahayd valedictorian) waxay ka tagtay shaqada Cape Verde, Galbeedka Afrika iyada oo ujeedadu tahay inay sameyso wax "si gaar ah uga duwan".
Oo ay ka duwanayd. Kate waxa ay laba sano ku qaadatay Afrika, halkaas oo ay in ka badan 300 oo arday oo dugsi sare ah baray Ingiriisi ahaan luqad labaad. Waxay diyaarisay manhaj, xero faneed xagaaga oo loogu talagalay carruurta da'da hoose waxayna saameyn ku yeelatay nolosha boqollaal arday iyo qoysas Afrikaan ah shaqadeeda.
Hadda ku soo laabtay Minnesota, Kate iyo ninkeeda Tony, oo sidoo kale ah fasal 2000 ah oo alum ah, waxay shaqeeyaan oo ku nool yihiin gudaha. Kate waxay u shaqeysaa Nidaamyada Maktabadda Degmada Hennepin waxayna sii waddaa sidii ay u heli lahayd habab ay ku sahamiso rabitaankeeda, sida barashada luqad kale oo cusub- Carabi. U doodaha xooggan ee waxbarashada, Kate waxay uga mahadcelinaysaa macalimiinteeda Minnetonka iyo u diyaargarowga ay heshay si ay u samayso wax kasta oo ay ku riyootay.
