Liz Murray movie
I thought that the film was pretty amazing. To go from homeless to college is a big change that would require a lot of work. It is awesome that she did not give up and continued to make something of herself. My favorite part of the movie would have to be when she started going to school again when she was a teenager since she did not have anyone to motivate her or tell her to go but she did it because she wanted more for herself. She wanted to change who she was for the better instead of having the attitude that she can not change her life. I personally do not think I would have been as resilient because to grow up in that environment I probably would know that life and not be as motivated to do something good for myself. Also, I would probably be so adjusted to that lifestyle and once I would be so used to it, it would be hard to completely change everything and start going to school.

ReplyDeleteI agree growing up in such circumstances as her it would be much harder for her to continue but she did it which is pretty amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think if she had went to school like she was supposed as a kid she would have been more motivated.
