“All your friends. All the bullies. And their mothers and fathers have given up, too. And their grandparents gave up and their grandparents before them. And me and every other teacher here, We’re all defeated.” Mr.P was crying.
Junior(the main character) was born with various medical problems; he is picked on by everyone but his best friends. But the only special thing about Junior is, he never gives up; he will never say NO to failure. He knows his future, and he wants to work hard for that. His parents are a common example to all the people in Rez (reservation school). His mom wants to be a teacher, and his dad wants to be a musician. But because their family is poor, they can’t even pay for food, and also no one pays attention to their dreams than they just give up themself and become a worker with minimum pay. But one day, Mr.P – Junior’s Math 
teacher told Junior.
“You’ve been fighting since you were born, you fought off that brain surgery, You fought off those seizures. You fought off all the drunks and drug addicts. You kept your hope. And now, you have to take your hope and go somewhere where other people have hope.”
Later, Junior decided to leave this hopeless place and to receive a better school where is all wealthy white people’s school.
Even Junior works hard on his life, and he has a variety of mental illnesses. So what reason do we have to find excuses not to study hard?
