http://www.nbcnewyork.com/news/local/Homeless-Teen-Intel-Sci... This is not the first time she has been homeless. Her family has been living on the edge of poverty for years, like many american families have been. She's doing her research at SUNY Stony Brook, a local University, which does have the lab resources. Here's are two important takeaways:
1. her parents love and support her. That's the most important thing we can give our children.
2. she doesn't feel sorry for herself, but presses on, taking advantage of opportunities as they arise. It reminds me of Liz Murray, another young woman from New York who was homeless in High School (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YDQjH816L6E)
Her parents weren't as capable (they were drug addicts), but she credits their love with helping her get through. |
