POSSIBLE ANSWER: (SCENARIO A)
Tommy faces a number of difficulties that prohibit him from obtaining a
high-quality education and realizing his full academic potential.
1. Hunger and Financial Difficulties
Tommy's family is experiencing tremendous economic difficulties, with no
source of income to meet basic demands. His blind mother is unable to find
work, leaving the family in terrible financial straits (paragraph 1). As a
result, Tommy frequently arrives at school famished, limiting his ability to
stay focused and function academically. Research reveals that malnutrition
and hunger have a deleterious impact on children's cognitive abilities and
learning capacity (Jyoti, Frongillo, & Jones, 2005). As a result, Tommy's
hunger directly correlates to his low academic performance, reducing his
ability to flourish at school.
