Dawn Loggins of Lawndale, N.C., is on her way to Harvard, one of the eight world-famous universities in the eastern US. Nobody encouraged her to study or paid for her special classes. This girl created her own future.
The teen was abandoned by her family last summer, when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee.
She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friends' sofas.
The school bus driver learned about Dawn's situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving into her studies in the evenings.
Dawn's hard work paid off (取得成功). She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2,110 on the SAT. "There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up," the 18-year-old said. "But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education."
Even before Dawn's family left her, she led a difficult life. Her family was poor and cups of noodles were often the only food. Dawn "studied by candlelight" because her parents couldn't afford to pay the electricity bill (电费).
Dawn has now reconnected with her family. They're proud of her accomplishments (成就) and are attending her high school graduation.
