It's not easy rising from the depths of poverty and becoming stable and productive. I love this young woman's story because I lived her childhood too. The best part of experiencing and surviving poverty is you never look down on children that are in it and will always help them reach their potential.
You are truly a inspiration, and really special person!!
I respect her a lot for taking care of her mom! Best of luck sister. May Allah keep your health in good shape. 🙏🏻
R R allahuma Amiin ❤️
She is beautifull from the inside and out
Bless her heart ❤️ good luck. 👍
Truly inspiring
The best part about her is that she is so down to Earth. Not a ego maniac narcissist like most Harvard undergrads.
Thank you CBS for posting an inspirational video. Regardless of her odds, she smiles back with such a beautiful confidence. She is incredible

Where’s her father?
Voting democrat.
Probably not interested in raising a family and generally ran from his responsibilities instead of facing them like a real man.

Another person who would be a better President.

Yeah, there's more to this story, too. They were getting financial help but refuse to say from whom. Not impressed.
