most will make it through this part of their new life. Usually the one thing
that will really bother a person, is living in a small room, with at least one
other person, sometimes two. Often, living with strangers will make a person
uncomfortable, and wishing they were back home. This is when many will give up,

their child the discipline and motivation it takes to do well in school.
