Has anyone else seen this movie yet? I just watched it the other night and
blubbered throughout almost the entire movie (it's very disturbing in parts),
yet, it was also VERY INSPIRING! This girl is absolutely AMAZING! I was so
impressed by not only her academic achievements in light of her being homeless
and having to eat out of a dumpster, but the fact that despite her wretched
parents who abused her (in particular, her Mother was vicious) she still
manages to be a KIND person! If you can handle the depressing scenes, I'd
recommend it for those who feel you have the odds stacked against you. It's a
motivating portrayal of what one can accomplish with nothing but sheer
determination!

Homeless to Harvard (2003)

Based on real-life events, this drama directed by Peter Levin tells the
inspiring story of Liz Murray (Thora Birch), a homeless teen forced to care for
herself and live on the streets when her parents lose their battle with drug
addiction. Determined to find a better future for herself, Murray goes back to
high school and manages to get her diploma, capping off her achievements by
winning a scholarship to prestigious Harvard University.




HAPPY NEW YEAR!

Be who you are and say what you feel,
because those who mind don't matter,
and those who matter don't mind.
