I thought the movie was very interesting. My favorite part was probably when Liz got in to her high school. It was cool seeing that she had the commitment to put herself through high school and it was cool how the teachers and other people at the school worked with her to help her succeed. If I hadn't grown up in her situation, but was thrown into it slightly later in life, I do not think I would have been as resilient as her. However, I feel like if I, or any other person, had been put in the same situation that we would have responded the same way. She grew up her entire life with the situation she was in, if we had been born into the exact same home and experienced the exact same things, I think all of us have would have been just as resilient because the things that happen in your life are what shape your personality. I am not trying to take away from her amazing accomplishments or anything like that though, she did do some incredible things with the hand life dealt her. #collegetransition

Yes, her commitment and hard work is what got her into college, something we all should do.
ReplyDeleteYeah, she had to work hard in order to change her life. She could have easily just picked up drugs and become like her parents, but she decided to get an education and it's good that she had help from the staff.
ReplyDeleteyes, she worked really hard to get into college and its good that she didnt join that life style of her parents.
ReplyDeleteSome of us would become as resilient as Liz Murray. These are the people who are tired of living in agony and resulting in pain. I also liked how Liz was able to get in and go through high school. With her courage to get out of the streets and the faculty of the school to help, she was able to graduate and succeed in Harvard University. Good work!
ReplyDeleteThere will always be people who have never had to deal with a real struggle, who have had to suffer through real pain say that they are tough enough to deal with things like this but in reality most people who go through situations like this end up on drugs as well. Its really hard to come back from these situations.
