You don't run across a story this inspiring every day.
下面这个励志故事可不是每天都能遇到。
Dawn Loggins, a North Carolina high school senior who was left homeless by her parents the summer before her senior year, is graduating tonight from Burns High School in Lawndale, NC.
高三前那个暑假,北卡罗来纳州的高中生唐恩·洛金斯被父母遗弃,变得无家可归。而今她即将从朗代尔的伯恩斯高中毕业了。
While that's quite the accomplishment, what comes next is truly amazing: Dawn is going to Harvard University in the fall.
能顺利完成高中学业已经非常了不起,更喜人的是:今年秋天,唐恩就要在哈佛大学开始她的大学生活了。
Dawn grew up in a less-than-ideal situation, to say the least. Her house had no electricity or running water, so she was forced to do her homework in the dark and go days, even weeks, without showering. She lived with parents who abused drugs.
可以说,唐恩的家庭环境很不尽人意。她的父母都吸毒。家里没电没水,她只能在昏暗光线下做功课;有时,她会连续几天甚或几周洗不上澡。
"We would get water jugs and fill them up at the park, using the spigots in the bathroom. And we would use that to flush the toilet or cook with. Stuff like that," she told CNN.
“我们经常去公园洗手间灌水回家,然后用来做饭或冲马桶。”她对CNN记者说道。
