Harold Ekeh has an exciting choice to make after being accepted to all eight Ivy League universities. The 17-year-old from Long Island, New York, emigrated from Nigeria to the United States with his family eight years ago.

“I am very humbled by this. I see this as not an accomplishment for me, but as an accomplishment for my school, my community,” Ekeh told the local CBS affiliate. “I really see this as my mission to inspire the next generation.”

Ekeh aspires to be a neurosurgeon, according to local news reports, and is apparently leaning toward Yale University. His mom works for a human resources agency, and his dad works for the New York City Police Department.

Ekeh’s great success is a powerful reminder of the dream sought by many who immigrate to the United States.
