Inspirational Story Of The Week: Homeless High School Student Graduates! (Overcomes Difficulties)
169,414
DESCRIPTION
"Sunday morning at Booker T. Washington High
School, hundreds of seniors lined up for an
academic awards ceremony. All the students are
smart and special, but maybe none more so than
Fred Dukes.
With a 3.0 grade point average and a score of 24
out of 36 on the ACT test, teachers said he's
plenty smart. And he accomplished all that despite
being homeless and without family support.
"I am very proud I stuck with it and didn't give
up," said Dukes.
Two years ago, Duke's stepmother moved back to
South Carolina for a job, but he stayed behind.
But he said that meant going about life alone and
staying with any friend he could.
"Me and my friend Malcolm kind of compromised to
where I could lay my head on his back porch if I
needed to," said Dukes." - Atlanta
