Here’s one to share
I found this story on LA Times the other day and immediately sent it to my 14-year-old stepdaughter. The story is about Khadijah Williams, 18, a high school student who has been homeless her entire life and lived from shelter to shelter, and is now Harvard-bound.
Williams shares an amazing story about the value of education and the power of making the best of what life delivers. She knew early on that she was smart, and also knew that being smart was a gift that she should treasure and nourish. Check it out if you have the chance.

Thank you for your kind words for Khadijah and for those that have supported her. Khadijah has enrolled in the freshman class at Harvard College and has a website to provide updates – http://www.khadijahwiliams.com.
Last week, Khadijah was interviewed by Oprah Winfrey for an episode of her show entitled, “Don’t Stop Believing.” The show will air on Friday, October 2. Please watch for Oprah’s surprise for Khadijah!
