    When I was looking for a feel good movie, a movie entitled "Homeless to Harvard" just popped and in the first 20 mins of the movie I asked myself 'why am I watching this?' and then something in me kept me watching it and finally I found myself drowning in tears because I found a light. I relate to her, not the same story as her but because I need to live a better life and I need to believe in myself AGAIN.
    Now I am a fan of yours and hoping I'll be able to be like you Liz. Thank you.❤

    Liz Murray if you are reading this I want to say that you are the true inspiration, the true hero for me.
    i always thought of who I could have an inspiration, but I thought there is no full story that could actually inspire me so much. I finished reading "Breaking Night" today and I couldn't stop thinking how would a person be so true to herself. I mean you did what you believed in and that is so inspiring. I truly admire you. Thank You for making my day.

    You really inspire me too Liz Murray. I read about you from the The Secret A Heroes journey. What you went through and what you become is so powerful. The Universe works through you because you have purpose for individuals or people like me whose dreams and goals are fading. You inspire me. "New moment; new opportunity. My potential in this world is timeless".

    Through time my idols have changed ever so often, all but one: Liz Murray. I first saw the movie 'From Homeless to Harvard' 11 years ago and I'd never - except from when I was a young kid - felt more inspired or hopeful for my own future. When the book came out a couple and then some years ago I was left with those exact same feelings. Liz never stops to amaze me :)

    I am so blessed that I got to watch the movie "Homeless to Havard". I felt that I am blessed enough to have home, loving and supportive parents, food to eat, clothes to wear. I am somewhat stressed lately because things are not going right but it's fine. I am very hopeful towards positivity and success.

  • @hannahg.9033
    @hannahg.9033 2 роки тому

    I think it's especially important for people who experienced addiction / chronic disease to know that life changes. It is extremley frustrating to grow up knowing you can literally do nothing about this one thing that dictates your every day life. Right now you can't stop that loved person from doing that harm to themselves and others. But one day, you'll move out, one day you'll graduate, one day the outside situation will change and suddenly you're in a very new place. Never work on the others to change. Flee if you have to flee and come back when it's time to come back. But always know that you have things inside of you, that are special and they'll eventually, hopefully, take you to where you were supposed to be all along.

We who give up for some little problems should have shame for it . Because Her problems were so much harder than ours . Though her life gave her hard challenges but she did not give up and even she challenged her life and she made her future better . Her deep desire made her able to turn the impossible to the possible .

    A very inspiring lady, I've just ordered her book to see what the film missed out. If she can do it, so can I.

    The fact that I take my time for granted ,and procastinate like I watched the movie Homeless to Harvard ,and I'm grateful I did
    I got to study if I want to do something and travel the world , Everytime I used to think you will study a little and then you will procastinate but now I'm not going to have those thoughts ,plus this is my last year of high school and I want to get in good college , even though I don't know what I wanna do but for now I'm going to study hard
