Take a look at the article called "new school brings back old times." how did school leaders at washington university yoshio matsumoto get through difficult times? support your answer with evidence from the article.

The school leaders at Washington University helped Yoshio Matsumoto by extending him an invitation to study there at the engineering faculty.

Explanation:

It was a hard time during the World War II, and despite the U.S were hostile towards the Japanese people, they created a council to help them overcome their difficulties by studying at the University. George Throop, the school's chief administrative officer, issued a letter in which he stated that Japanese students would be accepted to be educated at the institution. Washington University sponsored Yoshio Matsumoto and changed his life for the best by making him an engineer.

answer: i would say he was very determined and persistent in overcoming obstacles.

explanation:   "the magician of menlo park" as he was called, liked to tell an incident that happened when he was 8 years old and came back home crying after attending school for three months because his teacher called him "sterile and unproductive". from nowadays perspective, we can say that thomas alva edison was one of the most persistent and determined man that has ever existed. when edison was 14, he contracted scarlet fever. the effect of the fever, as well as a blow to the head by an angry train conductor, caused edison to become completely deaf in his left ear, and 80-percent deaf in the other. so as you can see he had to struggle to not so many minor issues but he always succeeded.
