It's 2.50 in the morning and I'm still wide awake. I could not sleep so I decided to watch a movie. It was an old movie and I've watched it few times in Spanish. But this time I got a copy of it in English.So I watch it again (in a language that I can understand hehee) I was really touch by this movie. It was based on a true story, a true story of someone life. The movie title was Homeless to Harvard. I know you may think it was an outdated movie, but believe me every time to watch it, the feel is still there.
This lifetime original movie tells the amazing true story of former troubled teen Liz Murray. Born into a poor, dysfunctional family led by a coke-addicted father and blind, HIV-positive mother,Liz spends her formative years exposed to the drugs and neglect that eventually drive her toward living on the streets of New York at age 15. It isn't until her mother's death from AIDS that Liz decides to turn her life around by going back to high school, becoming a star student, and earning a scholarship to Harvard University through an essay contest sponsored by the New York Times.
This type of film should be watch by youngsters whom still doesn't know the real picture of life. It may open their mind and hearts
