At Burns, Dawn was nominated and accepted to Governor's School, a one-month summer program in North Carolina for gifted high school juniors.

在伯恩斯高中时，唐恩被推选参加了州长学校，这是北卡罗来纳州为优秀高中生设立的一月夏令营活动。

Dawn left for the program in June. She returned to Lawndale in July to find her house empty, with an eviction notice on the front door.Dawn was officially homeless.

夏令营六月结束。七月唐恩回到朗代尔，却意外发现家里已经人去楼空，大门封上了驱逐条。唐恩真的无家可归了。

After learning she was homeless, employees at Burns helped her in any way they could. Sheryl Kolton, a custodian and bus driver at Burns, even let Dawn live at her house.

得知这一情况后，伯恩斯的老师尽可能伸出了援手。谢莉尔·考尔顿是伯恩斯的管理员兼校车司机，主动让唐恩住到了她家里。

Dawn didn't let her situation stop her drive to be successful. As a senior, she participated in typical high-school extracurricular activities at Burns: band club, photography club, cross-country and National Honor Society. She also started a program collecting letters for active military troops and worked as a janitor at Burns to earn extra money — all while making straight A's.

尽管处境窘迫，唐恩并未轻言放弃。在伯恩斯高中，她参加了多项课外活动：乐队俱乐部、摄影俱乐部、越野社团以及国家荣誉生社团。而且，她还自办社团，为现役军人收发信件。此外，她还在学校做些杂活儿赚取费用。最骄傲的是，她每门功课都很出色。
