WE REALLY HAVE TO PRAISE MR. HRABOWSKI FOR THE OUTSTANDING WORK BEING DONE TO EDUCATE OUR YOUTH IN THE AREAS OF MEDICINE AND SCIENCE. AT PRESENT, WE HAVE A HUGE DEFFICIT OF PERSONS IN THESE AREAS, WHICH IS CAUSING FOR MANY FOREIGNERS TO COME HERE WITHOUT IMMIGRANT VISAS OR OVERSTAYING THEIR TOURIST VISAS, AND HAVING OUR AUTHORITIES ALLOWING THEM TO STAY AND TAKE JOBS THAT SHOULD BE FILLED BY OUR CITIZENS. ON THE OTHER HAND, MR. HRABOWSKI IS A SURVIVOR OF ONE OF THE DARKEST CHAPTERS IN OUR HISTORY WHEN BLACKS WERE TREATED WORSE THAN ANIMALS, AND MANAGED TO REACH THE POSITION HE HOLDS NOW BECAUSE OF HIS EFFORTS, PERSISTENCE AND INTELLIGENCE. THIS IS THE TYPE OF PERSON THAT SHOULD BE INCLUDED IN THE GROUPS THAT ARE PRAISED OFFICIALLY BY THE GOVERNMENT FOR HIS ACHIEVEMENTS IN ADVANCING THE QUALITY OF OUR SOCIETY.

Disheartening that Hrabowski doesn't also focus a bit on GRAMMAR. I cringed at his subject-verb disagreement in this interview. Shame on you. I guess I should dumb down and not kvetch.
