Teacher and principal Tim King was working in a school in Chicago when he met a student named Keith. Their relationship changed when Keith鈥檚 mother died after struggling with drug addiction and Tim knew he had to help. Eventually Keith moved in with Tim and although it wasn鈥檛 always smooth sailing, Keith finally got the chance to be a kid and Tim learnt how to be a dad. Today, they work together running schools to give other disadvantaged young people an education.
