Overcoming Homelessness: Liz's Story

Today, in 2014, 22,712 young people became homeless in New York City ("Basic"). For those who do not have permanent residence, high school graduation is often proved to be an extreme challenge, especially when they have to prioritize the next meal rather than going to the class. Many people strive to receive appropriate education and drop students. Instead of depicting not only high school but also homeless teenagers, it is unlikely that you will graduate and enroll in the Ivy League university.

Last Friday, I had the opportunity to hear about Liz Murray about her life experience. Lizu became a movie called Harvard Homeless, known for overcoming difficult circumstances: the story of Risalay. She talked about how a teacher is, even from people who sympathize to people who are not expecting, and those who are unresolved decisions. But she has a caring teacher (she has her success to one of her) while maintaining high standards, which proves that this is not one or two situations . You can expect to be happy at the same time. It may be necessary to be more knowledgeable, but it is a skill to become a teacher respecting you. You are neither rude nor rude. It is done for the benefit of the student.

When Liz was homeless at age 15, after his mother died of HIV, her father entered a homeless shelter. In such a painful situation, most people can only see their direct circumstances. But Liz asks for better reality for himself, even if he has strong restrictions. So she studied at a local high school and graduated in only two years. Later, she was awarded a New York Times scholarship and eventually got her doctorate in clinical psychology and was hospitalized at Harvard University. Since then, she is writing the most popular memoir of the New York Times. Leeds raised my motivation. Instead, despite overwhelming obstacles she showed it by picking her own destiny.
