    When I was looking for a feel good movie, a movie entitled "Homeless to Harvard" just popped and in the first 20 mins of the movie I asked myself 'why am I watching this?' and then something in me kept me watching it and finally I found myself drowning in tears because I found a light. I relate to her, not the same story as her but because I need to live a better life and I need to believe in myself AGAIN.
    Now I am a fan of yours and hoping I'll be able to be like you Liz. Thank you.❤

    i always thought of who I could have an inspiration, but I thought there is no full story that could actually inspire me so much. I finished reading "Breaking Night" today and I couldn't stop thinking how would a person be so true to herself. I mean you did what you believed in and that is so inspiring. I truly admire you. Thank You for making my day.

    Through time my idols have changed ever so often, all but one: Liz Murray. I first saw the movie 'From Homeless to Harvard' 11 years ago and I'd never - except from when I was a young kid - felt more inspired or hopeful for my own future. When the book came out a couple and then some years ago I was left with those exact same feelings. Liz never stops to amaze me :)

    I am so blessed that I got to watch the movie "Homeless to Havard". I felt that I am blessed enough to have home, loving and supportive parents, food to eat, clothes to wear. I am somewhat stressed lately because things are not going right but it's fine. I am very hopeful towards positivity and success.

We who give up for some little problems should have shame for it . Because Her problems were so much harder than ours . Though her life gave her hard challenges but she did not give up and even she challenged her life and she made her future better . Her deep desire made her able to turn the impossible to the possible .

    @hannahg.9033 2 года назад

    I think it's especially important for people who experienced addiction / chronic disease to know that life changes. It is extremley frustrating to grow up knowing you can literally do nothing about this one thing that dictates your every day life. Right now you can't stop that loved person from doing that harm to themselves and others. But one day, you'll move out, one day you'll graduate, one day the outside situation will change and suddenly you're in a very new place. Never work on the others to change. Flee if you have to flee and come back when it's time to come back. But always know that you have things inside of you, that are special and they'll eventually, hopefully, take you to where you were supposed to be all along.

    i seen her movie of her life.watch it a few times. amazing how she done all she has done to become to where she is now is amazing. and also seen the video of the boy who could not see and used sound to find his way around, that was also amazing, but he passed away while he was still young.
