<p>I mean, have you seen all of the 'homeless to harvard' people?</p>
<p>Nobody likes sob stories. Stories of empowered teens, though, are often pretty powerful.</p>
<p>I have a homeless student right now. He and his mother and sister having been living in a car for for months. He’s an A student, and a football player, and has the best attitude of any kid I teach. He’s a freshman, but he will probably never write a sob story. He has too much pride and integrity for that.</p>
<p>Will his teachers and GC mention it? Very likely. Will people fight for him to make sure he gets into college? You bet.</p>
