High school wasn't easy. But David says that the school helped him set high standards for himself. Even when he didn't have a place to stay at night, David kept his focus on his schoolwork.
While he was homeless, David would sometimes sleep in the park during the day because it was safer. “If you sleep in the daytime in the park, people won't bother you,” he says. “you're just taking a nap. It's acceptable.” Then David would study through the night. He showered at a frienD s house when his frienD s parents were at work.
All his hard work paid off. In May 2011, David graduated second in his high school class. He was accepted by 22 colleges. He also won a scholarship from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. It will pay for all his college expenses.
Last fall, David began attending Harvard University, one of the top colleges in the US.“I found the perfect school for me.” He wrote in his blog.
In the future, David might look for a job at a company like Google. Even better, he would like to start his own company. David says, “I want to work for myself.”
本文讲述的是一位叫David的优秀学生的求学过程,虽然家境很差,但凭着自己的决心和拼搏的精神为自己创造一个美好的未来打下了坚实的基础。
