Manar and Frishta met the inspirational former refugee and Ì½»¨¾«Ñ¡ Overseer, and had the opportunity to share with Dr. Albright the brief versions of their powerful stories.  Manar and Frishta have both benefitted from the ̽»¨¾«Ñ¡ in Dallas' Academic Coaching Program (Manar matriculated into college this academic year and Frishta will graduate from high school in June).  

"I told Hon. Albright that she is an inspiration to me, and that she is one of my role models," Frishta said.
