Story Of The Week: Homeless Teenager Gets Accepted To Harvard!

"Walking into the atrium of MC2 Stem High School
on East 32nd Street, 18-year-old David Boone has a
reserved smile on his face the size of
Massachusetts. It's a good thing.
He'll have plenty of time to fine tune it on the
East Coast this fall at Harvard University They
offered him a free ride based on his merits earned
at his Cleveland school.
What makes his accomplishments even more amazing
is that in the last few years he had been
homeless. Forced to leave his family home because
of relationship problems, some stemming from gang
violence in the neighborhood, Boone found food and
an occasional bed with friends when he could.
Some nights those just weren't being offered, so
he slept on park benches until animals and
neighborhood dangers led him find a nicer
neighborhood near the Coventry area of Cleveland"
