Posted by: RR on: 26 June 2009
I’m starting with the man in the mirror
I’m asking him to change his waysAnd no message could have been any clearer
If you wanna make the world a better place
Take a look at yourself, and then make a change!
lyrics
Rest in peace MJ. Your musical talent and unique personality have inspired millions of people of all races, nationalities, and religions across the globe. You will certainly be remembered =)

After spending her entire life on the streets with her mom and sister, Khadijah Williams, has finally found a home at Harvard University. This inspiring article from the LA Times tells of her struggle to make education a priority while overcoming adversities of the homeless life.
She knows nothing of her father or her mother’s past. She only knows that she was born in New York when her mom was 14 and while Khadijah was a toddler they moved to California. Since she was in third grade when she scored 99th percentile on a test, Khadijah has maintained her place as a top student. She’s disciplined her self to shut out all the noise and chaos of living on skid row to focus on her school work. Her academic pursuit could have been jeopardized by any possible hazard posed to a homeless person. She persisted on and now she earned a home for herself at Harvard where she will enjoy a full ride scholarship. Amazing. You go girl!
