Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Research on Hispanic students in the United States has found that those with recent immigrant backgrounds, like Miguel, often have a stronger sense of family obligation and a higher motivation to succeed in school, which can contribute to their school success. This sense of duty and motivation can sometimes lead to better school engagement and performance compared to their peers whose families have been in the U.S. for longer, like Luis.
