Waking up to CNN every morning, can make for some pretty depressing thoughts at the beginning of anyone's day. But not this time.
This particular morning on CNN, I met Danielle Galloway from Atlanta, graduating class of 2009.
She 17 years old.
She's homeless.
In and out of shelters all of her life.
She attended 10 different schools.
Oldest of 6 children.
Abused by a step father.
Deserted by her own.
She's not alone; when I looked into this social problem of homelessness, I learned that 1 in 50 children have had an experience with homelessness. Here; in America. Why? I want to protect our children from this, the Ms. Isaacs protected Danielle.
Danielle beamed when she spoke of Ms. Isaacs. Let her in the nurse's office whenever, told her she could achieve anything...and Danielle believed.
I'm inspired by HER.
Full ride scholly.
Boston University.
Despite the odds.
Inside she found...
Her way.
With in a pen in her hand, she writes..."because it's calming," she said.
YES
IT
IS.
Go...Danielle!
Thank you to her mentor Ms. Isaacs.
