When Elizabeth was 10 she found out her mother had AIDS.A few years later,while most teenage girls were worrying about what to wear,Elizabeth was looking after her mom.Her mom died at the age of 41 in 1996.
At 15 Elizabeth was homeless.Her mom was gone and her dad was on the street.After her mom’s death,she knew things had to change and she knew it was up to herself.“I connected the lifestyles that I had witnessed every day with how my mother ended and wondered if there was anything I could do about it that would not happen to me.So I went back to school.But mind you,I was homeless,” explained Elizabeth.
Her high school didn’t know Elizabeth was homeless.She took an extra load of work,studied on the stairs and made excellent grades.When she read about a scholarship offered by The New York Times she quickly applied and won.She would receive $12,000 for every year at college.Elizabeth was determined to go to Harvard and the university didn’t turn her down.Right now Elizabeth lives with her little sister in New York while she waits to become a full-time student.She’s working at The New York Times right now and they offered her work for the summer.Elizabeth has gone from homeless to Harvard.
