The different challenges that these boys faced were fascinating. Three young men that grew up in the hood grew up to be doctors. If that doesn't say anything about opportunities, then I don't know what does. These boys faced extreme challenges growing up. All of the temptation of the city would have overwhelmed them if it wasn't for one thing. One may ask," How did they survive?." Simple answer,
"The Pact"]]> 2016-11-08 21:17:36 UTC https://padlet.com/essae157/sdi1s490yuz/wish/136245851 essae157 https://padlet.com/essae157/sdi1s490yuz/wish/136246576 One may ask," What is the pact?" Well, one day, Davis, Jenkins, and Hunt became worried about their future. The boys decided on one common interest, becoming doctors. Each of the boys promised to stand side by side of each other. Meaning always having each others backs. They promised that they would all put in hard work and become doctors. The Pact didn't only make them successful, but it made them brothers.]]> 2016-11-08 21:21:32 UTC https://padlet.com/essae157/sdi1s490yuz/wish/136246576 essae157 https://padlet.com/essae157/sdi1s490yuz/wish/136247645 The three motivated boys faced many temptations on their way to success. The three grew up on the street. Every day, they walked past drug dealers, hustlers, muggers, and gangsters. "Sometimes it felt surreal, walking past the drunks, dealers, and addicts on my way home from dental school with a pile of books." said Jenkins.  "On the streets where I grew up, you didn't worry about consequences. If someone disrespected you, you beat his ***. Period," said Hunt.]]> 2016-11-08 21:27:04 UTC https://padlet.com/essae157/sdi1s490yuz/wish/136247645 essae157 https://padlet.com/essae157/sdi1s490yuz/wish/136584835 "We knew we'd never survive if (becoming doctors) we went after it alone. And so we made a pact: we'd help one another through no matter what." (page 2)

"The pact filled us with motivation and purpose, giving us a reason to keep pushing when it would have been easier just to give up. It provided us with a firm base of support, and it strengthened us to face the challenges that came our way." (page 235)

"Friendship can lift you up, strengthen and empower you, or break you down, weaken and defeat you."
