Homeless At 8 to The University of Pennsylvania at 18

Steven Vaughn-Lewis, was homeless at 8 years old, but his grandmother rescued him and with her prayer and guidance he'll be attending the University of Pennsylvania in the fall. Steven was raised in one of the roughest areas of Philadelphia, but reading became his refuge. Great article about Steven overcoming obstacles, and his grandmother providing boundaries and guidance for her grandson. The article also profiles the challenges that Steven will face at Penn, being a black student on a majority white campus. Steven will have the benefit of working with counselors on campus to assist him with the transition to college student.
