This means she is trying her best knowing she is homeless and having a 25% chance of making it to college she knew she had to push herself. Another piece of evidence is, "she would slip into the hallway or the bathroom to study". This piece of evidence proves the determination she had to make it into a college especially Harvard.

This proves the odds Khadijah is facing. Also, in paragraph 6, it says, "No matter how nice a shelter is, you never feel safe, and all you see around you are people who are down on their luck." This explains another oddity she's experiencing: not feeling safe at her so-called home.

In the text it states,  “For me it was like,  if I told anyone at school I am homeless,  then I would have to admit to myself what was really going on.” This evidence shows that Khadijah doesn’t want to bring attention to herself which can cause her to lose focus on her goal.The text also states, At school she was “very friendly ,” but she never got so close that someone might expect an invitation to her house.This evidence also shows that Khadijah is going through a lot but she uses her personality to hide her secret because she doesn’t want to get picked on or hear negative comments about her and her family. For example, Khadijah states, “There’s been a lot of discussion recently about the newly homeless, she reflects, “but what people don’t talk about is that once you get inside this cycle, it’s very hard to see a way out. I think that’s what happened to my mom.” I believe Khadijah wanted to stay focus because, she was afraid that if she doesn’t work hard she might become like her mom.
