What motivates Omar to seek education within the camp?

• A. Curiosity about life beyond the camp.
• B. A sense of duty to help his family now through education.
• C. A belief that schooling offers opportunity to improve life for himself and his family.
• D. A plan to pursue sports to gain mobility.

Answer: (C)

Education is viewed as a path to a better future. Omar believes that learning to read, write, and think critically will open real opportunities—jobs, stability, and the ability to support his family now and later. That conviction that schooling can change his life trajectory for himself and his family drives his pursuit of education in the camp. While curiosity about life beyond the camp may exist, the emphasis in his motivation is practical: education as a way to improve circumstances and create a more secure future. It isn’t about sports or a short-term plan, but about long-term opportunity.
