Not everyone can get into one of the most prestigious universities in the world. It's a perennial Top Five school in almost every academic category. It's a dream school for almost each student that is brave enough to make an attempt. The history and beauty behind it is just as intimidating. Yes, Harvard doesn't say "yes" to just anyone.
Now, what if you are homeless, working as a janitor, and seem to have the world against you? Why would you do something so brash as apply to a university where not only grades matter, but money is just as important?
Dawn Loggins, an 18 year old senior from North Carolina hasn't let any of that get in her way. Loggins has had her share of let down. Upon returning home from summer school on day, her parents had moved away. No notice, no warning. She jumped around from home to home. But school kept her sane. It was her medication. It gave her so much alleviation that she also worked there as the janitor before classes.
Now, the cleaning, homeless, 18 year old is proving the odds wrong. Her heart is set on Harvard, and she is going there in the fall.
She is the epitome of the American dream. Everyone has the right to a fair shot. Everyone has the right to be what they want, as long as they work hard and have a dream!
