His grandmother, a peasant farmer, works tirelessly, even taking on casual labor in others' farms to provide for him and other grandchildren in the home.

Despite these hardships, Dan is unwavering in his ambition to become a teacher, driven by his commitment to his education and the dream of serving his community in the future.
