Some people find out the hard way. I did not want to be one of those people.” Seventeenyearold high school senior Diamond May is devoted to her education. She takes all collegelevel classes in her school?s demanding International Baccalaureate program, where her gradepoint average last year was above a 4.0. Her favorite subjects are math, biology, psychology, and “Theory of Knowledge”， and she’s considering forensic science, mechanical engineering, and architecture as possible careers. Diamond also lives in southeast Washington, D．C., one of the most poverty and violencestricken neighborhoods in our nations capital — and was homeless for part of her sophomore year and nearly all of her junior year. When the temperature dropped dramatically, Diamond’s family was assigned to move to the D．C. General Homeless Shelter, a former abandoned hospital. The squalor (肮脏) and desperation in the shelter made national headlines after 8yearold Relisha Rudd went missing just days before Diamonds family moved in. In the wake of that tragedy, newlyenforced rules said that parents and children had to arrive at and leave the shelter together. One of Diamond?s biggest challenges was rearranging her own academic and afterschool activities every day in order to coordinate with her mother and brother. Yet through it all, Diamond actually increased her academic performance — while many of her peers never had any idea what her family was going through. |
