Abstract
Dangerous communities that are filled with poverty present youth with obstacles to escaping the at-risk community such as high crime rates, failing schools, and community violence. Children living in these disadvantaged neighborhoods also suffer a multitude of Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) including parental separation and divorce, leading to the child being raise in a single-mother household. The extant literature on single-mother households describes the host of problems that children from these families have, but fail to address how children from single-mother households can escape the at-risk community and achieve academic success. This investigation explores the methods in fostering success among a sample of college students and graduates who grew up in Camden, New Jersey. Respondents (N=41) shared their perceptions of how their mothers helped them become academically successful while also shielding them from the crime, drugs, and poverty within their homes and neighborhoods.
