Overcoming their limitations

The duo was not only able to break the language barrier but also thrived in high school with the support of the Prince George County ESOL programme.

In an interview, Mounira who achieved salutatorian status admitted that she was surprised to learn they emerged top of their class.

''It's very surreal for me because I didn’t expect this much attention,'' said Mounira, according to Newsonyx.
