Tegucigalpa / Princeton, Sep 5 (EFE).- Every day about 300 Hondurans emigrate, legally or not, to the United States, Canada and Europe willing to work in whatever way to improve their living conditions and although they all seem to have a similar destiny, there are exceptions, such as Saira Reyes Zelaya and Matías Funes Maldonado, who pursue scientific dreams that would be unattainable in their country.

SOUND BITES: HONDURAN STUDENT SAIRA REYES ZELAYA.TRANSLATIONS: - In 2009, when I was in fourth grade, my family had to move from Honduras to the United States due to criminal violence in the country.- They didn't want to put my sister and me in the grades we were supposed to be in because they thought that since we were from Honduras maybe our education was not as good as other students.- I took some time to adapt and I tried to speak English always in classrooms with my friends and my teachers. The school later let my parents know that my educaiton level was just the same as others and that I could join 4th grade. - Since the beginning of this year I began to fill in applications for different jobs and programs and for the companies that I will join next year. I had a few interviews, they reviewed my application and recommendation letters and I've been invited to join a company called Adimab.
