I saw this segment on Anderson Cooper last night and found it inspiring. There are zero excuses for not working hard and being able to get whatever your heart's desire is. This bright and resilient young student worked as janitor in her high school and faced homelessness and abandonment, all the while maintaining straight A's and eventually getting into Harvard! Watch and be inspired. I plan on showing this segment to my students!

What an heartwarming story of determination and proof that a generous community can drastically alter the life of another. In the same field of thought, how about last night's RidicuList?! Withholding a diploma because parents cheered too loudly?! Oi!
Couldn't agree more, Holly. Crazy to hold a diploma for cheering.
