Tough Times Don’t Last! Harvard Graduate Shares His Inspiring Story by cathytemi(f): 5:37pm On May 28, 2017
Harvard Graduate Shannon Satonori Lytle shares his story of determination and perseverance on Facebook yesterday, his story might just inspire someone and spur them not to lose hope. Read below.

In high school, I flipped burgers at McDonald’s so I could afford the privilege of taking the SAT. I fed and cared for my three baby siblings until they went to sleep and stayed up until 4am to do my homework. I walked home through a dangerous part of the city after extracurriculars because I couldn’t afford a car.


I stuck my laptop out of my window at night to steal my neighbor’s wifi and finish my schoolwork. I was scoffed at and told, “from this part of Ohio, only the children of doctors and lawyers get to go to Ivy League Schools.”

In college, I panicked when my laptop broke because I had worked 150 minimum wage hours to buy it. I scrubbed toilets, shelved books, and sold clothing so I could chase my dreams and travel the world. Throughout my life, I have maneuvered and begged for every kind of subsidy and coupon. I’m the son of a warehouse worker and an immigrant; a first generation student. Today, I graduated from Harvard.

This beautiful story was not written to reduce the price of garri and neither was it meant for your consumption. Those it was meant will pass by, and pick their inspiration and continue their hustle.

Nonsense. Harvard is way too expensive, it's either he took a student's loan to complete his studies or this is utter gibberish.

Na today! Nothing comes easy so your story isn't new.I have heard worse stories like yours but didn't end well. There was a case of a guy who worked hard but died on the way to success after much struggle.
