Excerpt: For the past five years, Lashawn Samuel regularly walked three miles round trip to the Columbus Metropolitan Library’s Franklinton Branch for help with his homework assignments, then back home again in the dark, according to WJHL.
“The kid has tremendous perseverance and he just keeps going,” said Kelly Young, a Homework Help associate at the library.

I think this kid who mentions God will be fine though.
