Meanwhile, Richard Jenkins, a homeless 18-year-old American boy has overcome life’s hurdles to gain a full scholarship to the prestigious Harvard University.
Jenkins faced a truckload of difficulties growing up, medical emergencies, harassment from his classmates, and poverty – the most prominent. Due to foreclosure, his family lost their home and ended up being homeless for years. This forced them to move to Tennessee and then to Florida before heading back to Philadelphia.
In an interview with CNN, he said “that was what triggered me that I needed to chase something. No matter what, I can’t allow myself to go through that anymore. I can’t allow my brothers or my mother to go through that when they’re older.”
