Read this passage by Mawi Asgedom:

Sampson Davis, Rameck Hunt, and George Jenkins grew up in Newark, New Jersey. Their families were very poor, their neighborhood was extremely violent, and they did not have many positive role models.

Sampson, Rameck, and George each believed they were destined to rise above their difficult lives. However, success for them seemed almost impossible.

When the three of them met in high school, they told each other their dreams and made a pact. They decided that they were each going to become a doctor, and that they would help each other achieve this difficult goal.

All throughout high school, college, and medical school, the three friends supported each other and pushed each other to do better. In the face of financial, personal, and professional challenges, they all completed medical school and became award-winning doctors.

What decision did Sampson, Rameck, and George make that changed their lives?

They decided to become award-winning doctors.
They decided to leave New Jersey.
They decided to support and challenge each other.
They decided not to be poor.
