From nowhere to Harvard’s school


Any high school student admitted to Harvard University is very fortunate, and they also consider themselves to be the best and smartest people in the country.

However, David Boone, from the wandering life on the loungers of the park to the experience of sleeping at Harvard University, became a Harvard student, making him particularly prominent among his peers.

David, a 17-year-old high school student named MC2 Stem High School in Cleveland, Ohio, will receive a full scholarship from Harvard University this fall. The STEM education program focuses on engineering and science education and is sponsored by the Bill Medalin Gates Foundation.

"When I was fourteen years old, my family and I lost our home because of gangster violence. I refused to join the gang, so my house was beaten with guns for revenge." He is in The Huffington Post's blog was written on the serial.

After his brothers and sisters separated, they each lived with different family friends. But due to space problems, and he was allergic to family pets, David did not continue to stay in family friends.

Because his grandmother and his mother could not provide him with a place to live, which led him to no home, began to wander in various parks, often seen in the park, the park became his "new home."

He eventually stopped near the safer Coventry. Because this park is safer.

"All these lessons of life have shaped me to become me now, my dreams and wishes have changed, and I have been freed from the lifeless environment." He wrote in the blog.

Soon after, Jeff McClellan, the principal of MC2 Stem High School, was quickly impressed by David's indomitable spirit and his academic ability in adversity.

While David was still looking for a longer-term home, Mr. McLaren and his wife took David and helped him.

"He is such a child who will do everything he can to reach the place he wants to go. We have resources on hand, just to give him a little extra help." Mr. McClellan told the local agency that belongs to ABC News. "I hope I can help everyone, but David is a special case. Entering MC2 Stem High School is probably not the last time we are truly proud of David."

Next, David's goal is ambitious. He has applied to many top schools such as the University of Pennsylvania, MIT, Princeton University, Cornell University, Yale, Harvard and Washington University in St. Louis.

In the end, only MIT rejected his application, and he could make a choice of his own destiny in many prestigious Ivy League schools.

David’s real journey is not over. His next challenge is not to cry out at this week’s high school graduation ceremony.

"I promised that I wouldn't cry, but I realized that everyone thought about it before crying." He told FOX 8, "I'm pretty sure I will be in control when I get there."
