This 17-year-old has been accepted into 17 US colleges after Battling Homelessness
Dylan Chidick a couple of years ago would never have
seen his present situation coming.
Overcoming homelessness, the
17-year-old has been accepted into 17 US colleges!
Dylan and his
family moved from Trinidad when he was only seven, and they’ve been in
and out of homelessness. His younger twin brothers are also living with
serious heart conditions. But Dylan overcame all these.
“I have to have a lot of determination,” he told Action News.
There has been a lot of people saying, ‘you’re not going to achieve this.’ And me, getting these acceptance letters kind of verifies what I have been saying, that I can do it, and I will do it.
Dylan
is the first in his family to attend college, and although his other
said, “it has been hard financially,” they’ve somehow managed to make it
work.
His top school, the College of New Jersey, is yet to get back to him, but a yes from them would bring his acceptance up to 18.
