“If you resist or avoid what you do not know or understand, you have forfeited your defense when you are called ignorant. The quest to explore, to understand, to know, is the core of a vibrant, informed, and evolving life.” —Paul Mark Sutherland

Once again, determination, attitude, and spunk win the day. Good news is …well, GOOD NEWS. Last month we heard about Shawana Machado, a 40-year-old woman overcoming homelessness to earn her college degree. Also, there was the story about Gac Filipaj, a 52-year-old immigrant who became a janitor when he arrived in the U.S., learned English, was accepted as a Classics student at his work place (Columbia University), and graduated from the Ivy League school, with honors no less, all while still working as a janitor.
Now we hear of Dawn Loggins, 18 years old, both homeless and a janitor at her own high school, and abandoned by her parents, but now headed to Harvard. We wish her well, of course, but this beautiful determined young woman really doesn’t need our well wishes, because she creates her own luck, and she creates it boldly.
Here’s her story told by CNN’s Martin Savidge.
Congratulations, Dawn. All the best as you set off in August to conquer Cambridge!
