When other nine-year–old kids were playing games , she was working at a petrol station.When other teens were studying or going out , she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street.But she overcame these terrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholar and gain entry to Harvard University.

Her amazing story has inspired a move , “ Homeless to Harvard : The Liz Murray Story ”, shown in late April.

Liz Murray , a year- old American girl , has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination.

Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted.There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house.Liz was the only member of the family who had a job.

Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just 15 years old.The effect of that loss became a turning point in her life.Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died , she decided to do something about it.

Liz went back to school.She threw herself into her studies , never telling her teachers that she was homeless.At night , she lived on the streets.

“ What drove me to survive had to do with understanding , by understanding that there was a whole other way of being.I had only experienced a small part of the society , ” she wrote in her book “ Breaking Night ”.

She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on.She used the benefits that come easily to others , such as a safe living environment , to encourage herself that “ next to nothing could hold me down ”.

She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University.But Liz decided to leave her top university for a couple of moths earlier this year in order to take care of her father , who has also developed AIDS.“ I love my parents so much.They are drug addicts.But I never forget that they love me all the time.”

Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is “ as simple a making a decision.”
