Dawn Loggins, a homeless girl from Burns High...

Dawn Loggins, a homeless girl from Burns High School, is going to Harvard University in the fall.

Dawn grew up in a poor situation. Her house had no electricity or running water. So she had to do her homework in the dark. She lived with her parents who took drugs.

One summer, Dawn left home for a one­month programme in North Carolina for outstanding high school students. When she came back, she found her house empty, with a government notice on the front door. Her parents had left already and Dawn became homeless.

Dawn didn't let her situation stop her drive to be successful. As a high school student, she joined in different school activities　 at Burns: band club,　 photography club and cross­country club. In her spare time, she gave out newspapers and did some other part­time jobs to make extra money. At the same time, she got A's in all subjects.

“When I was younger, I was able to look at all the terrible situations, and made a decision for myself that I wasn't going to end up like my parents，” Dawn said.

Dawn applied(申请) to four North Carolina universities and her dream one,　 Harvard.　 In March, 2013, she got a reply from Harvard.　 It said that she was not only admitted_to the university, but also offered a full scholarship(奖学金)．

Dawn's story has gone around the world. People have sent best wishes and money to her. Dawn is thankful for their kindness. “When I get to university, I hope to start an organization to help other students in trouble so that they can continue their education. And I know my future is going to be great.” she said.
