Many feelings occupied Saelig’s and Dalora’s hearts, foremost of which might have been helplessness. They wanted their young son, Sven, to succeed in his education and perhaps attain something better than what they had. But despite the hard work Sven put in, it seemed impossible—or at least improbable—without the tools Sven needed to succeed.
