Homeless to Harvard

The film Homeless to Harvard was a very touching film. The film was over a homeless girl who had great potential, and finally exerted her skills in an essay application for a scholarship in the New York Times. She had come from a poor, druggy family, and did not have much of a life to look forward to in that environment. There were many great parts, but there was one that I liked the best. When Liz gave her speech in the room with all of the readers of her essay was a very emotional part. She told her whole story, and this is what allowed her to touch many of their lives. Because of this emotional scene, she was able to get a scholarship from the New York Times and get into Harvard fully paid for. Liz was a very resilient person, and I do not think that I could be as resilient as her and achieve as much as she did. Her determination got her very far in life, and I on the other hand, do not see my self as being as determined to achieve my goals in life. Liz was a very brave and determined person, and I wish that I could become as determined as much as she was in her life.
