needed to apply for college.

　　At one time, Adan shared one bedroom with six others while his father worked long hours as a custodian (看门人) and his mother held part­time jobs to help feed the family. Unlike many other students in America there was no Internet in his apartment, and too often no electricity. To complete homework requiring online access, he would walk late at night, after sports practices, to a McDonald's or Starbucks to catch enough of Wi­Fi signals to finish his homework on a borrowed laptop. When he had to research and apply for college, he hit the streets in search of a signal that didn't have a password attached to it.

　　Fortunately, Adan was resourceful, hard­working and patient to jump over this_gap_in_technology which traps many other poor youths.

　　In today's digital world, students can't learn as well without the Internet. Going forward into tomorrow, there will only be a bigger gap (差距) between the Internet haves and the have­nots. As the have­nots continue to struggle to keep up, our entire educational system will also struggle to keep up globally and later our workforce will struggle, too. And that's an even bigger problem in the near future.

　　Recently, Adan has graduated from Georgetown University decorated with national awards, captain of the boxing team, and has engaged over 10,000 youths through his Si Se Puede Network. Yes, this is his story. And now we need to change it so others can have the same happy ending without as many struggles in the story.
