无家可归女生考上哈佛 靠当清洁工完成学业

And like any other bright high school senior, she decided to go to college.
同其他优秀高中生一样，唐恩也打算报考大学。

"When I was younger, I was able to look at all the bad choices — at the neglect, and the drug abuse, and everything that was happening — and make a decision for myself that I was not going to end up like my parents, living from paycheck to paycheck," Dawn told cnn.
“很小的时候，我就注意到了生活丑陋的一面——注意到那些被遗忘的人群、吸毒的人，以及各种困顿。然后，我告诉自己——绝不能成为父母那样潦倒无为的人。”唐恩告诉cnn记者。

Dawn applied at four North Carolina schools and her dream school, Harvard. Earlier this year, she got an acceptance letter from the Ivy League school. On top of being accepted, Dawn received a full scholarship to attend.
唐恩共申请了4所北卡罗来纳州的大学，还有她梦寐以求的哈佛大学。前不久，她如愿收到了这所常春藤名校的录取通知书。更喜人的是，她还获得了全额奖学金。

cnn wrote that since Dawn's story has circulated worldwide, people have sent encouragement and money to the teen. Dawn doesn't want the money for herself, though.
cnn报道说，现在唐恩的故事已家喻户晓，很多人纷纷祝福唐恩，甚至还寄了钱。其实，唐恩并不需要人们捐钱给自己。

"When I get to college, I can work for what I need. And I know my future is going to be great," she told cnn. Dawn hopes to start an organization to help other students with similar barriers in continuing their education.
她说：“上大学后，我可以靠勤工俭学赚取费用。我相信未来会更顺利吧。”唐恩打算创立一个组织，帮助其他有同样求学困境的学生。
