Life as a single mother supporting three kids is incredibly difficult，but Khadine had a particularly difficult time after her twin sons had been diagnosed with serious heart conditions.As a result，the boys suffered from dangerous symptoms and required 24-hour care.As Khadine had to work three jobs to support her family financially，it became Dylan's responsibility to look after his young brothers.To relieve Mom's stress，Dylan also found a part-time job at a recreation center.
While Dylan never considered his family to be a burden to him，seeing his mother and brothers become vulnerable （脆弱的） made him determined to plan his future out correctly.He believed education was the only way out of their struggle，so he made a promise to his mother that he would be the first one in the family to go to college.
For that promise，Dylan made use of each and every minute to study while taking care of his brotjye.airs.He soon became an honor student at Henry High School and took several advanced classes to keep his grades up.The College of New Jersey was his top choice.He was determined to put that admission letter in his mother's hands.
However，weeks before Dylan's college entrance exam，both his family and his determination were tested again when Khadine fell ill and was unable to work for a while.Soon，the bills became unmanageable and the landlord evicted （驱逐） Dylan's family after Khadine couldn't pay the rent.The family had no choice but to live in the shelter.The place wasn't an ideal place to study.It was often noisy and crowded，and the lights would go out at a certain time after 11 p.m.
