    "This fork in the road happens over a hundred times a day, and it's the choices that you make that will determine the shape of your life." -Liz Murray.

    Liz, your story turned my youngest daughter's life around. She was a problem from age 12. I insisted that she watch the Liz Murray story movie. Debra worked hard, graduated HS and then off to nursing school. She became an RN, then a master's degree in nursing. Then, she earned a doctorate degree in nursing. She now runs the nursing department at one of the largest hospitals in the USA.

    Apart from the sheer willpower, what strikes me the most is that she doesn't harbour anger against people. She wasn't mad at her parents for not being parents or her situations. She was sad, no doubt but not playing the blame game. She accepted the situation and worked awfully hard to change it. Complete responsibility of her actions. No victimization of self.

      Not everyone is built like her with such resiliency & maturity to face adversities. GOD was the one to carry her all the way through. How one can use their pain for purpose. How to face& deal with the trauma. This is tough on anyone who endures severe loss&trauma. No one wants to play victim under unfortunate circumstances. Things like this can make you or break you. Mental health can play on number on ones brain. This is a miraculous testimony which I believe "Nothing But God".

    She is marvelous! But don't use her story to justify child abuse. There are many kids that just can't get out of that hellhole so telling them "you should've done what she did" would be unfair. Nonetheless, she's an inspiration to many.

      they don't get out sometimes, but the only reason people stay stuck is cause they don't believe nothing with change. she shared her story because she decided not to give up, you don't have to go to Harvard it's almost impossible to get in there even if your not homeless, but Liz was willing to get out of her situation no matter what it took.

      No she wrote a little about her in her book. She graduated college and teaches special needs children. They're not beat friends but that's because her sister was trying to survive her parents and didn't really treat her like a sister, but like an extra mouth taking food from her plate. Unfortunately when you come from a broken home a lot of times you and your siblings end up like acquaintances.

    For the people who are stuck-up this movie blanishmently made me take notice. Your performance was excellent-children are trashed by society & their parents, the drugs are too strong in their efforts. yet, the feeling sorry for themselves in not parenting, is what is too important. Yor are dynamo in pursing the highest achievement in life, but I wasn't convinced. Your vocabulary was minimal, but if I am wrong-congratulations on taking charge. HARVARD COLLEGE DECISION BELOW: 980 F.3d 157 539 U.S. 244, 276 n.23 (2003).
