Chelesa Fearce Earns Entry to Spelman College Where She Will Enroll as Third-Year Student
A 17-year-old student from Georgia whose family of five was homeless for
most of her high school career has managed to graduate at the top of
her class and earn a spot at prestigious Spelman College, where she will
be enrolling as a junior in the fall.
"I just told myself to keep working, because the future will not be like this anymore," Chelesa Fearce told a local news station.
"You're worried about your home life and then worried at school. Worry
about being a little hungry sometimes, go hungry sometimes. You just
have to deal with it. You eat what you can, when you can."
