Today i want to talk about the movie named Homelessness to harvard.I first watched this movie when i just ended my high school.i remenbered clearly i was so inspired by it in that summer holiday.i whished i whatch it before the Gaokao.i think this is a good movie to inspire students before exam especially the college entrance examination.
This movie is about a girl named Liz around 15 years old from an extremely dysfunctional Bronx family who tries her best to complete her dream.her mother is addicted to drugs.her father isn't good at social and just watches Jeopardy all day.he doesn't have a job and is unable to earn the money by himself.for liz who lives in such kind of family it is hardly for her to get harverd's offer but finally she make it.
Liz‘s parents are unable to take care of their child.In school nobody likes to play with her because she dosen't ofter take shower so she smells really bad.some kids make fun at her.so she has not friend in school.however,she get A in all subjucts even though she miss many classes.Her teacher think this is unbelievable.
After her mother dies of AIDS, which she got from sharing needles during her drug abuse, she gets a 'slap in the face' by her mother's death.she realized there is no one to rely on therefore she have to take care herself and the only one way to change her poor life is to study hard to get the harvard’s scholarship.from that on,she find any chance to study.she study when she is doing partime job or on the subway to work.finally,she amazingly completed in two years, rather than the usual four. She becomes a star student and earns a scholarship to Harverd University through an essay contest sponsored byThe New York Time.
she gave a speech at school's oppening seremony.I remember clearly when the Journalist asked her that how did she made it.she said that i work as possible as i can and see what happen.
