15．ELMONT，N．Y．（AP）---Elmont High School senior Harold Ekeh had a plan-he would apply to 13colleges，including all eight Ivy League schools，figuring it would help his chances of getting into at least one great school．
It worked，And then some，The teenager from Long Island was accepted at all 13schools，and now faces his next big test：deciding where to go．
"I was stunned，I was really shocked，"Ekeh told The Associated Press during an interview Tuesday at his home near the Belmont Park racetrack，his four younger brothers running around．
He found out last week he had been accepted to Princeton University．That made him eight for eight in the Ivy League-he had already been accepted to Yale University，Brown University，Columbia University，Cornell University，Dartmouth College，Harvard University and University of Pennsylvania．His other acceptances came from Johns Hopkins University，Massachusetts Institute of Technology，New York University，Stony Brook University and Vanderbilt University．
"We are so proud of him，"said his mother，Roseline Ekeh．"Hard work，dedication，prayer brought him to where he is today．"
Born in Nigeria，Harold was eight years old when his parents brought the family to the United States．
"It was kind of difficult adjusting to the new environment and the new culture，"he said．But he saw his parents working hard，"and I took their example and decides toapply myself"
He referenced that effort in his college essay，writing，"Like a tree，uprooted and replanted，I could have withered in a new country surrounded by people and languages I did not understand．Yet，I witnessed my parents persevere despite the potential to give in．I faced my challenges with newfound zeal； I risked insults，spending my break talking to unfamiliar faces，ignoring their sarcastic remarks．"
Harold"is tremendously focused in everything he does．"said John Capozzi，the school's principal，"He's a great role model．All the students and faculty are so proud of him．"
Harold is the second Long Island student in as many years to get into all eight Ivies．Last year，William Floyd High School's Kwasi Enim chose to go to Yale．

19．One of the greatest sources of unhappiness，in my experience，is the difficulty we have in accepting things as they are．
When we see something we don't like，we wish it could be different．We cry out for something better．That may be human nature，or perhaps it's something ingrained（根深蒂固的） in our culture．The root of the unhappiness isn't necessarily that we want things to be different．However，it's that we decided we didn't like it in the first place．We've judged it as bad，rather than saying，"It's not bad or good，and it just is it．"
In one of my books，I said"You should expect people to mess up and expect things to go differently than you planned"．Some readers said it's too sorrowful to expect things to go wrong．However，it's only negative if you see it as negative and judge it as bad．Instead，you could accept it as the way the world works and try to understand why that is．
This can be applied to whatever you do：how other people act at work，how politics works and how depressing the news media can be．Accept these things as they are，and try to understand why they're that way． It will save you a lot of sadness，because you'll no longer say，"Oh．1wish bad things didn't happen!''
Does it mean you can never change things？Not at a11．But change things not because you can't accept things as they are，but because you enjoy the process of changing，learning and growing．
Can we make this world a better place？You can say that you'11continue to try to do things to help others，to grow as a person，to make a difference in this world．That's the correct path you choose to take，because you enjoy that path．Therefore，when you find yourself judging and wishing for difference，try a different approach：accept，and understand．It might lead to some interesting results．
